Fair price for current 17" MacBook Pro?

[Skullbussa]

I have a 4-month old MacBook Pro that I'm trying to sell but have no idea what a fair price would be.

It's the current model, MC725LL/A which is the 17" MBP with i7 Sandy Bridge processor.

Ram has been upgraded to 8GB. It has the 750GB standard HD. Standard glossy screen.

Comes with OSX Lion that I purchased after I bought the laptop.

It's in mint condition and has barely been used. Comes with all packaging, cables, discs, everything.

I don't want to try to extract every last dollar out of the sale, I'm looking to sell it QUICKLY but don't want to get ripped off either.

Any advice would be welcome, thanks!

Mac2Sell, Gazelle or eBay (Việt Nam, Türkiye, Česká republika, Hanguk) might be good price checkers.

Thank you for those sites. Mac2sell suggests $1800and Gazelle says $1000. Big difference!

Mac2Sell recommends prices, that are a bit too high, thus you could meet in the middle or slightly above.
1400 to 1600 is a good price, though you might get more, if you find the right buyer, whichever route you take.

Someone else asked a similar question a week ago. He was selling his 17" 2.3 i7, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, Antiglare screen. His initial purchase price was 2649 British Pounds. I told him he should expect to get 1800-2200 for it. He ended up receiving 2150 Pounds.

Judging by this and that your initial purchase price was roughly $2600. I say you should get 2000 for it, plus minus.!! It greatly depends on where you are selling it though.

Around $1800-$2000 seems fair, no lower than $1650 however.

If you're looking to sell it quick, that's a different story. If you had time, you could market Lion and 8GB RAM and maybe end up w/ $2,150 (before eBay fees).
