Hey guys, I really want to downgrade to a mba 13.3' now that I realized I have no need for a larger screen, and hdd capacity. I was thinking of selling it on cash4macbooks.com and was wondering if anyone here knows its legit? I think it is but does not hurt to get any feedback from yall.
 
1,160 is not so bad. ebay would take like 25% along with paypal and that's hundreds off ur sell price.
 
It appears to be like many other sites like this. Commonly, they perform something along the lines of a "bait and switch" where they quote you a good price, you send in the machine and then they nitpick over every and any last issue, and subtract money from your quote while doing so.
If it's like a few of these other sites, before you know it they'll call you up saying they can only pay $500 because of a 2 millimeter long scratch on the bottom.

Craigslist is the better bet. Just ask for cash and meet in a public place like starbucks.
 
It's your Mac, you can do as you like.

I just punched the details of my 6 week old MBP in there and it offered me $1200 for on $2000+ worth of laptop. That's excluding any sales taxes etc. Not even a used car loses that % of it's value that quickly. I wouldn't take less than $1700 for it, even in a fire sale.

They offered me $1200 as well.
I have a 2.5GHz i7 CTO 15" This laptop was $2649 + tax new.
 
Well you guys scared me from selling it to them. I guess I will just keep my macbook pro. Perhaps in the future I will use more cpu-intensive tasks.
