Value of used 2012 MBP?

For an impossible list of specs? Priceless.
Hint: There is no such thing as a Retina MBP with a 7200/5400 (no 5200) rpm drive, and 8x Superdrive.
Assuming the "retina" line is a mistake, and there is no AppleCare remaining, I'd say $1000, obo.

Sorry, the retina was my mistake.
Well apparently this one did.
The machine is my BIL'S across the country, and I'm considering buying it. He emailed me the serial, and I looked up the specs online.
As a starting point, you can check Mac2Sell, eBay (including completed sales), and Amazon for prices of similar models, to get an idea of what a reasonable price may be. Then adjust the price to account for condition, configuration, remaining AppleCare coverage (if any), etc. You can also check the Apple refurbished store to see what similar models are selling for.
I will also add that if there is AppleCare remaining on it, and it expires about a year from now, then I would add roughly ~100 onto what I would pay for it (generally $100 for each year remaining of the total extended warranty period on a used system.)
