How much would you pay for this???
Hey guys,
A guy near where I live is selling the following computer:
MacBook
2.0 GHz Core Duo
512 MB RAM
60 GB HD
Superdrive
I'm sure you guys all know the other specs...
What would be a good price for this computer? What is the most you would pay, and at what price would it be a steal?
Thanks in advance!

Or do you like to collect old macs?
Bottom line, I suggest going to Apple.com and check out the refurbs on sale there. Not only are they guaranteed, they still contain the warranty with an option of Apple Care.
I do not collect old Macs, I am just a student who does not have $1,500 to spend on a new Mac.
That Macbook sold for about $1099, it would be worth less now that the Core 2 Duo Macbook is out, but if you're a student then you would easily qualify for a student discount, so even if you were to buy the current model it would probably be less then $1000.
If you plan on buying that one, I'd probably value it at around $500 or $600. Maybe it's worth more or worth less.

No it didn't. The specs quoted by the O/P were for the original $1299 MacBook model.

Try more, not less.
To the O/P, if you want to know how much the machine is worth, why not just watch* a few eBay auctions for the same-spec machine?
*as in, use the watch function to enable you to see the final selling price

Really? It seems similar to the current $1099 one, specifically the 60 GB HDD.

Well I was only saying that because almost all of your posts pertain to buying an old mac. You don't need $1500 to buy a quality Mac.

The two bottom original standard configs were:
1.83 GHz Core Duo
60 GB HDD
512 MB RAM
Combo Drive
$1099
2.0 GHz Core Duo
60 GB HDD
512 MB RAM
SuperDrive
$1299
These were bumped to:
1.83 GHz Core 2 Duo
60 GB HDD
512 MB RAM
Combo Drive
$1099
2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo
80 GB HDD
1 GB RAM
SuperDrive
$1299
it does however seem that u need at least $999, right?
If you go for the Mac Mini and already have a Keyboard Mouse and Display, you can get a Mac Mini for $599.

If I were able to get the new model BlackBook for $1,000 that would be an excellent deal right?
I'm telling you, ask someone who knows: Ebay.
Ya but Ebay also factors in the idiots that pay ywo times too much for certain items
You know, back around the PSP launch, I saw in EGM that someone payed almost the full price of a PSP for an Empty PSP Box...
Fine, seeing as how I got the model wrong, probably around $900-$1000.

Just remember: Once you go black you never go back.
But once you go white, you might say 'aiight!
Here is what I ended up buying:
13" Black MacBook
2.0 Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
120 GB HD
1 GB RAM
Used for 2 months...excellent condition...comes in original box with 3 year AppleCare protection (lasts until Nov. 2009)
I paid $1,200 for this, how did I do??
