Hello,

I will soon be trying to sell my MacBook to upgrade to a MacBook Pro for my University course, and so i'm looking for opinions on how much its worth. Specs are as followed:

Its the late 2008 unibody aluminium model
13 inch screen
320GB HDD
2GB Ram
Intel Core Duo 2GHz Processor

It's in perfect condition, and has snow leopard installed, cost about £900-£1000 when new.
I also appreciate this might be the wrong place to post this, but I was unable to start a thread in the buy/sell section, so maybe an admin could move this thread there?

Thanks.

You can go here Mac2Sell - Guide to used Mac, iPad, iPhone & iPod - Evaluation - Argus Mac, iPod, iPad, iPhone Occasion and enter the machine specs, and it will give you an estimate of the current value.

Uhm, no. That forum is for our regular members only. Please see the rules posted there.

Mac-Forums.com - Announcements in Forum : Buy/Sell/Trade

For an approximate value of your machine you can check:
everymac.com
mac2sell.net
Search ebay for current selling prices of your machine.
A 2yr old Mac should fetch between 60 & 75% of original value depending on condition.

I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth.
In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus.

Not sure why you posted in the "Desktop" section...when you're talking about a laptop/notebook...and Mac-Forums has a "Notebook" area??
