Broken LCD MBP for $400,....

[hohohong]

Macbook Pro 2.16Ghz Intel core 2 duo. Has 2 GB of RAM. With 120GB HD.

The MBP was dropped and apparently only the screen is broken and the guy is selling for $400.

He said he can test it with external screen.

Good buy? If not, what's the reasonable price? Thinking of getting this as desktop...... What should I be aware of for a dropped MBP? What other common defective is known for dropped laptop?

What other common defective is known for dropped laptop?

Mainly the harddisk also the laser media (cd or dvd).

 

[hohohong]

do you guys think if only the LCD is damage, this is reasonable price?

out of curiosity-- Why would you want someone else's broken laptop??

Yes to answer the OP's original question. Yes I think $400 would be a good price for a C2D MBP. If that's all that's wrong with it. The screens are only a few hundred. That MBP goes for over twice as much if it were fully functional.

Why not go a lower offering price? The worst the seller can say is no. I'd buy it for $400 and fix the screen but that is just me.
