Prizing Macbook Pro 15" (A1226)

[didii]

Hello,

I'm planning to sell my macbook and I'm currently searching for a fair prize. It was harder than I expected and it happens to be a lot more worth than I thought...

It's a MacBook Pro 15", 2.20 GHz. Model A1226. Click here for more specifications. I bought this one on E-Bay a year ago for €650 ($925, £570) and was original fabricated in 2007-2008. It had a common fault that the NVidea-graphical card failed. It was replaced together with the motherboard last year.

Now the screen is failing sometimes, because the previous owner dropped it once. Though it's still working. When a bit patient (max 5min) it automatically fixes itself. And the battery is at the end of its days. Max life is about 20min.

So if anyone could give me a bit more information of the prize it could be worth, that'll help me very much. The prize I could find was about €550 ($780, £480) if fully functional.

Thanx in advance!
Didii

300 to 400 USD maybe.

Mac2Sell, Gazelle or eBay (Việt Nam, Türkiye, Česká republika, Hanguk) might be good price checkers.
