Good deal on 2012 rMBP?

[SwaggMuffin]

I found a New 15 inch retina MacBook Pro on craigslist for $1750

specs:

15-inch Retina display
2.4 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
Turbo Boost up to 3.4GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
256GB flash storage

Is this a good deal? I could get a student discount on a new one, but it still would not be this low. Am I wrong in wanting to pick this up if the new models are not announced in a few days? I originally wanted the new 13" when it was announced, but it seems this may be a better deal. Thoughts?

Worst deal of all time. Refurbs go for less than this and you buy from apple instead of a sketch on craigslist and get full warranty

I would not purchase a 8GB rMBP if I planned to keep it for a few years. Memory requirements increase over time as you upgrade OS and add/upgrade apps.

Always check the price list at www.appleinsider.com before making a purchase.

Don't.

Not a good price, perhaps he/she would take a lower offer? Also ask screen manufacturer and warranty on it

A refurbished from Apple Outlet store (which is essentially brand new with 1 year warranty) is cheaper than this with same specs.

Thank you all for your input, this will be a no purchase.

If you live in canada, you will think this is a good deal because of the HST(13%)

A 2.4 GHz processor would make it a 2013 rMBP. However, it's still not a good deal.

I sold my 2012 rMBP (2.3/8/256) for $1700 with about 10 days left on the warranty. I then turned around and bought a 2012 Refurb rMBP with the same specs. I actually made money on the transaction, while getting a fresh 1 year warranty and unused battery.

Craigslist is beautiful.

That is a nice move! Hope the new one has either LG SJA2 or Samsung display.

Yeah, it's a Samsung. I can't complain.
