too low of a price for macbook?

[awraisch]

Hi everybody -

just looking for some feedback:

just agreed to sell my stock 1.83 macbook for $850. was curious if people think that was a good enough price. i guess i'm having the seller's remourse.

Any thoughts?

You've lost what? $200? How old is it? If it was one of the first you've not done badly I guess.

Yeah i bought it the day they came out, had it in to apple once to get shutdowns fixed.

you think it's bad?

I don't think you'e done too bad. I think the person your sellingit to got a good deal, but I far from think you got a bad one.

decent deal for both buyer and seller. you might have gotten more on ebay but you'd then have to deal with the fees.

yeah that's the thing, i respnded to his craigslist ad saying he wanted one and he's coming to me to pick it up. i knew i wanted to get rid of it, but hadn't seriously considered doing so till i saw his ad. i figure this way i just need a few more bucks for a base model imac.

You might have been able to get a little more money for it, but it sounds like both you and the buyer made out alright.

it is not the best offer. you definitely could have done better (as much as 950, i would say).

you don't say whether you bought the extended AppleCare warranty - if you did then you are definitely getting ripped off.

nah, no extended warranty . . .

It was a pretty good deal, I'd say. Maybe you could've swung $900 or $950, but $850 is still a good price! No need to feel bad.

i wouldn't have let it go for under $900, but that's just me. I'm looking to get the same price for mine that i bought it for, which is $1200, but I also put in a GB of ram, so i think my idea is legit
