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.
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.
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.
