When to sell a macbook

[glennyboiwpg]

I'm thinking of selling my macbook (1.83 core duo) and adding the differnce to get a new imac.

Question: DO I sell the macbook now to maybe cash in on some back to school student's purchase even though I still wouldn't get the imac for a month or two, or do I just wait and sell it when i'm ready to buy?


I"m a java programmer doing a personal programmming project, I have a peecee that i use as my linux webserver and I use the mac as my dev workstation. (I LOVE programming on a mac)

Do I just suck it up for a month or two and continue to program on the peecee for a bit so I can make some extra cash?

The MB is only going to loose value over time. And *IF* does release an update or bump up the default RAM/HD, then yours would be worth even less.

However, if you love programming the mac, is it work the extra $50-75 to you to program in bliss for the next couple of months?

just wait the two months and then sell on eBay.

You'll still get probably 75% of what you originally paid for it.

The average eBayer wanting a used Mac doesn't know core duo from core 2 duo. They look at RAM and HD space.
