Would love to know the answer here, sort of what I'm looking for but new to Macs and have heard some real horror stories buying used. Good luck

2 years old.. I'd say 40% to 50% of what you paid for it originally would be fair.

Or just go see what they're currently selling for on eBay and take that price.

Want to sell my aunt my early 2008 MacBook Pro, 15", glossy screen, 2.5/2.2GHz, perfect condition, always in a case, no scratches, has had one of those hard plastic covers on it the whole time.

Don't want to take her for a ride, just want to figure out the fair value of the computer. Any advice?

[...] One of the many arguments that you’ll hear from PC owners is that Apple computers are just too expensive. PC owners often state that PCs that contain the same hardware specifications as a typical Macintosh computer will cost 15% – 20% less. It is true that prices are a bit more expensive for Apple devices, it is hard to compare Macs to PCs because of differences in software, security, and how a Mac is often much easier to re-sell and at higher prices.

Andre – The prices were taken from Ebay. I have usually sold my older computers on ebay but have heard of success and decent prices via craigslist.

I would like to sell my MacBook Pro 17 inch (old one). Where is the best place to sell it? Where did you take the "used Apple" prices from in your table?

Thanks!
