How much should I sell my MacBook

[alpaca07]

Hi,

I want to sell my Macbook. It's black and from 2008.
It has a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

I don't know how much I should be asking for.

It's in perfect shape because I have hardly used it because at work I had a macbook as well and also I bought it a hard case to protect it, so it looks brand new.

It has CS5 Adobe and microsoft office installed.

Thank you for your help!

What country are you selling it in?

Just gonna put this out there, installed software doesn't mean much, most people would freshly format a machine like that.

That said I just sold my 2008 15" Macbook Pro unibody with 183GHz CPU, 8gb ram and a 750gb hybrid drive for £700.

I've sold Macs to these people in the past and they pay good prices.

----------

If you're not UK then convert the prices to dollars then take off about 40%* to give you a rough idea


*because Apple does not use $ -> £ exchange rates for UK, they actually charge more for UK customers. (For example a base iMac in US is $1199, UK is £999 which is like $1600)

Try something like CL, seen similar macs go for around 3-400$ there.

As a starting point, you can check Mac2Sell, eBay (including completed sales), or Amazon for prices of similar models, to get an idea of what a reasonable price may be. Then adjust the price to account for condition, configuration, remaining AppleCare coverage (if any), etc.
