I am attempting to sell my iMac 20" inch display, 2.4 GHZ, HD 250GB, 4GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 2400 128 MB and I am offered $1000 dollars.

Is this a fair price? I am trying to sell so I can upgrade to one of the new ones. The machine is only 5 months old.

You're getting $200 less than the new model with 2.66, DDR3, video up to 256MB, iLife '09 added unless you're giving that away also. Difference in hard drive size and RAM is a wash between the 2 of them. You're getting almost 85 cents on the dollar of the new model. I'd say you're maximizing it's value pretty well.

If that's as high as the other person will go, it's a pretty decent deal. If you can get more, go for it but as it is right now, it's a pretty decent offer.

I agree with bobtomay. That's a good offer for a machine you've used for 5 months, however, do you really need to upgrade? :)

Regards.

Not really, I just want a more powerful machine for editing video and I am a sucker for the latest new thing. The screen upgrade option is good too for watching movies and playing games. I feel that it is better to sell the previous ones before the depreciation gets lower. In that that way, I can put the money into a new one.
