It's possibly stolen. Go for it, if you don't mind.

But with all discs and cords?... hmmm. I would say legit. (and a good price).

Sounds like a great deal, if it is legit. Got my 13" 2.53GHz MacBook Pro off of eBay for $1,000, but $900 is an even better deal!

yeah the no box kind of deterred me, but he had everything, including a family pack snow leopard install... doesn't the 13" come with snow leopard? i think it was purchased in september

They do now, but I'm sure whatever one they have shipped with Leopard. I have the most up to date Macbook Pro and mine came with Leopard, so I had to get the update disk from Apple.

 

[dankybear]

picked it up, the restore disk restores to snow leopard... popped in the SSD i bought from another craigslister (a pull from a macbook pro) and now im flying! can't really tell the difference between the 7200rpm drive and the SSD besides the boot times and the quick indexing for spotlight...

oh and i paid 200 for the 128GB SSD which was a MBP pull, (a $400 upgrade) so final costs (hoping i can sell the 500GB drive for ~70):

900+200-70=~1030 for a loaded 13" MBP that apple retails for 1899, sometimes i feel like i'm robbing people on craigslist!
