I'm planning on upgrading but what can I get?

[Silverrune]

I have a Mid-2009 Macbook Pro that I am planning on selling in order to get the new 2012 model (when / if it comes out). What will I be able to get for it after the new model comes out.
Specs:
Size: 13 Inches
Processor: 2.26 GHz intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Hard drive: A Seagate 500 GB Harddrive
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M

The notebook is in fair condition, A few scratches and 2 dings. Everything works great, the LCD screen has one issue, when there is a black screen there is a white cloud like thing in the middle. Not that big of a deal. The entire system will be wiped clean and reformatted. In the long run I might keep the hard drive currently installed, I still have the original and will reinstall it (120 GB?).

I've seen 200-300 from Apple to another website. What could I get if I sold it by myself.

You can at least get 500 USD for that.

Mac2Sell, Gazelle or eBay (Việt Nam, Türkiye, Česká republika, Hanguk) might be good price checkers.

Whoops, sorry if this is in the wrong topic. I didn't really look through the threads just saw this category and thought it was suitable.

On Mac2Sell.com when selecting memory it says mb so would 8 GB be 8192 MB or is it an error?

YA $730-780 Depending on which hard drive I include.

I would say 700 is a good asking price to start with.

Where should I sell this?

Where should I sell this?

eBay, Craigslist, Amazon maybe?

Those are probably your best options. eBay and Amazon will reach a larger audience and are more secure than Craigslist, however Craigslist means the possibility of a local sell for cash. All are good options.
