Late 08/Early 09 MBPs to be sought after?

Will the removable battery Macbook Pros become more sought after or did the resale value just go in the toilet?

only time will tell, but immediate pricing has gone down substantially for the late 08/early 09 mbps.

I figure they'll stop producing the removal batteries...therefore, in 2 years when you need a new one, they won't be around.

I'm worried about something like that happening.

I love mine to death but I can't feel a little miffed by apple; we wait for a case redesign, finally get one and buy, and then six months later they modify the case a bit again, sort of leaving behind those few of us.

According to some posters on here......they are collectors editions LOL.

Doubt it will catch on though.

I don't think they'll discontinue the batteries anytime soon. They're still selling iBook batteries.

I don't think they'll be all that sought after.

They still sell PB G4 batteries in the apple store, so I wouldn't worry about that happening anytime soon.
