iMac!

[TSE]

Hi guys, would an iMac with these specs be a good deal for me for $850?

-White iMac
-20" 1680x1050 Screen
-Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHZ
-ATI Radeon X1600 128 MB
-2 GB RAM
-250 GB 7200 RPM HD
-Applecare until February 2010

I will most likely buy my own bluetooth mouse and keyboard so I can use the iMac from my bed. Would this be a good deal for me and the seller?

Seems like a decent price to me. You should look around on ebay, craigslist, etc. to check on comparable systems as well.

I don't really want to deal with any of the paypal or anything with ebay and I have dealt with this guy on MacRumors before so I was just wondering. Waiting for a response from him.

Have you read that the new iMac will be $999?

Are you Steve Jobs? No? Then how do you know?

I think its a pretty good deal, and at least it comes from someone you have dealt with before. On the other hand it maybe worth saving a bit more and getting a refurb from the online store.....

Sorry, I was unclear. I meant check the asking and selling prices of comparable systems. This would give you a better idea if the price is a fair one.

Thanks for all your help guys! It seems the price I can get cheaper for about 50 - 100 dollars, but I think buying from a guy I have dealt with before, etc. is worth a premium.

If I did buy this iMac, would I have to do anything special to transfer the Applecare?
