I'm looking to sell my mid 2007 white MacBook with the C2D 2.16, 2gb, 120gb, SuperDrive, etc in good condition with a good working battery. I have listed it on Craigslist for $500 which I think is a fair price, but no one seems to want it! I am hesitant to put something so expensive on ebay or amazon because I was recently scammed buy a buyer who claims that I sent them an empty box... Long story short ebay sided with the buyer and I lost my item and the cash. I have looked into the apple trade in program, but they will only give me $230 for it. Powermax offered me $525, but I can't use my student discount there or get a free iPod touch. My goal is to get a new MBP for $1099 after student discount and then sell the touch and free printer. Along with the $500 selling price of my current MacBook, this would bring down the cost to around $400 for the upgrade. Is there any way for me to make this happen? Your advice is appreciated!

Sounds like a lot of money still.
A local pawnshop to me has a few Macs out for sale.
I asked him how he came up with his pricing.
Basically, he finds it on the Apple refurb site, and discounts his price from there.
Currently, he has a 2.26Ghz Unibody Macbook for $650, and a 15.4" A1286 MBP for $1200 (With a Speck case!). Both are still under the first years warrentee.
I'm tempted to buy that MBP, but I love my 13" so much I doubt I'd use it. Still good prices. When I think of a three year old machine for only $150 less (your deal), I'd quickly pass.
If you want it to sell, price it to sell.
