Help! Fast! Should I bid on this MBP?

[stylar]

I can spend up to about $1k. I want a 15inch, unibody macbook pro. Is there any reason this is so much cheaper than usual?

It's an older model without the SD Card and the 7 hour battery life. It has the 5 hour battery life. Price seems okay. Good luck it an okay buy.

Wow. That jumped $300+ in a few minutes. No go.

What do you think about this (same, but with SD and 7hour battery): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:US:1123#ht_1600wt_1165 ?

How high would you go? $1200?

But it also has an ExpressCard slot.

With a 64GB SSD, I would go up to 1.3k.

Yeah? Okay. I'm going to stop looking and buy this, if...
1) You guys think this up to $1300 would be a "good" deal. Yeah?
2) If it were you looking for a 15inch MBP, would you jump on this for <$1300 or wait for a different deal? (And what would that other deal be?)
3) Any reasons to NOT buy it for < $1300?

It sold for $1075.

Remember faster Refurbs are selling starting at $1529 with a full year warrantee. Makes me wounder if there is that much of a savings. My last two machines were refurbished. These are the moments that make me confirm why.

Seems cheap to me. I would have thought being on ebay it would have hit at least 1200.

That's a good deal for the buyer!
