Hello all. I am selling my MacBook as I upgraded to a MBP. I was cleaning the screen to pretty it up and realized that the screen was chipped or scratched. I am not sure what to do. It is going to be anywhere from $99-$200 to fix it. Do you think it is worth it? Below are the general specs of the MB:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo
Model or Type: MacBook w/ APPLECARE!!
Hardware Overview:

Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MB41.00C1.B00
SMC Version: 1.31f0
Serial Number: W88114Y20P1
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled


Now, I am seeing similar MBs go for $800-$850

I have attached two pictures. Please let me know if you feel it is worth the extra time and investment to get the screen fixed.

So, I ask, is it worth the extra money to get it fixed?

Thanks in advance!
 
When selling an item the object is to try to make money. I guess you could replace the lcd but it's not really necessary. As long as the screen works, why incur the cost of a new lcd? Offer it for sale with full disclosure as to any and all known flaws. Subtract $50 from the going market price then let the potential buyer make the decision as to whether or not he wants to fix it.
