MacBook for $50 - Good deal?

[wrinkster22]

They are preunibody white MacBooks (NOT ALU) and yes, they are selling them. They are in pretty terrible cosmetic condition (cracks, scratches, dents, nicks etc) but their body physically strong and they are practically usable. Apart from looking like **** and having stickers all over them, their all good.

apple replace part of the casing and you can still resell them for a tidy amount.

No I can't, the school tried to themselves but Apple refused because the kids were too rough with them, and they kept getting broken and ****ed up over and over, so Apple said that its their fault, we're not giving out free repairs to you anymore

I think you misunderstood, I don't mean that business is Evil, but I look at this like the HP TouchPad firesale. Tons of people that genuinely wanted one to use missed out, while the little scammers of the world bought dozens only to profit. (Now, don't get me wrong, if I were on the other side of the fence, I'd be a happy little profit-mogul. )

I don't mean I'd buy these instead of Christmas gifts, I meant to get them AS gifts. -- I'm not calling my idea bad in the sense that it's cruel and unusual, I just mean purely beneficial to me as opposed to purely helping others. That's all.

("Don't get your knickers in a twist." How did you get an insult out of what I said? Geez...)

Okay, you confuse me. Bottom line, for everyone reading: no, it is not bad if you buy all of the MacBooks for $50 each. If someone else wants them, let them come buy em, if not- you snooze you loose. Sorry. This isn't a moral issue, jeeze.

I'd buy them all in a heartbeat, no question. Forget one, get them all and make $$$.

Exactly.

I'd buy 10, sell each for 150~200$ EASILY, and buy a high-spec'd MBP.

Yep.

Well, the shipping is $20 to anywhere else in New Zealand, if that puts it into context.
