Trying to buy Mac: What Should I pay?

[JulieGirl]

Is anyone willing to tell me what I should bid on this item? Do you think this would be a good computer to have? Oh thank you thank you!

Mac2Sell says $800. Remember that Microsoft Office is probably not a legit copy, unless they are selling you a serial w/ disk.

I'd say keep it under $750.

 

[flopticalcube]

Yes. $750 is the max.

nothing past $700

much newer 20" is only $850, includes 1 year warranty

Soooooo much thanks

You have no idea how much I appreciate the tips. I'm going to take the advice and also check on the macconnection.

I'd be lost/floundering here if you didn't help steer me in the right direction.

oops. sorry. wrong link to the $850 imac...

http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB417LL/A?mco=MTA4MzIzNTI

factor in tax.

macconnection has deals, but lowest imac is the brand new 21", $1099, but no tax...

Apple refurb: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB417LL/A?mco=MTA4MzIzNTI

$850+ tax, free delivery, 1 year warranty extendable to 3 years.

The only thing going for the white iMac is the extra RAM and the (probably pirated) copy of Office.

EDIT: Snap! with the squared badger.

thx thx thx

Thanks. I was wondering about that link but didn't want to bug you anymore.
Thank you.

+1 for a refurb from apple...

or no more than $550-$600 for this one...

 

[JulieGirl]

Should I bid $400 for this? More?

Thank you!!! Again

$400 seems fine. Use Mac2Sell.net to estimate prices. Assume that all software is pirated unless you are getting discs for it and subtract 10% from the Mac2Sell price - that will be the high-end of what you should pay.
