Become a MacRumors Supporter for $50/year with no ads, ability to filter front page stories, and private forums.
New offer from someone else, $2200...he started at 2000.

Allows me to pick up a baseline "13 w/ education discount and stash 1K in my savings. I paid 29XX for the maxed out "15 with the education pricing. It retails for 31XX I believe.

Am I still ripping myself off horribly?

Selling at a small loss would be understandable if you were upgrading but you are downgrading and losing money in the process.

Horrible deal unless you absolutely need that 1k in your savings. I'd just keep the 15" if you ask me.
