macrumors 68000
Late 2012 27-inch iMac
3.4Ghz i7
32GB of Ram
768GB SSD
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX with 2GB

Is 2500 asking too much for this system?

You can get an i7/8GB/1 TB Fusion/680MX for 1950 on Apple refurb. The SSD and the RAM probably add about 400-500$ to the price of the system. 2500$ is not that bad a price, there just isn't that big a market for the machine. You could probably sell it faster for 2400$. Just wondering, but why are you selling it?

You don't mention whether there's remaining AppleCare included or not; that could definitely sway potential buyers.
I agree with mad3inch1na that it may be a bit of an uphill battle at that price, especially with rumored imminent updates and/or possibly a small price cut.

For example I just saw a late 2013 27" 3.5GHz quad-core i7 with 16GB memory and 512GB flash storage, and the GTX 775M graphics processor with 2GB of GDDR5 memory on the refurb store for $2459 with the usual one-year limited warranty and a 14-day returns policy. Your machine has of course more memory and storage, but the refurb model is a one year newer machine, with slightly newer (but overall not better) graphics, and many people, other things being equal, would just rather buy from the manufacturer, than from a stranger, and that fact would have to be reflected in your asking price.

The resale market, and the refurb store (for fairly recent models), are the best places to guide you in finding a fair market value for your used equipment, in my experience. Best of Luck!
