I have found a 2008 Macbook for sale for $75 near me. It doesn't say much but it is black and needs a new hard drive, says "the system is reset and everything" replacing the hard drive is no problem, but would I be able to make a profit off of it? Sounds like the hard drives for these are going for $90 something on ebay.

$75 for a 2008 MacBook that only needs a new hard drive falls into the category of..."If it sounds too good to be true...it probably is!";)

And by the way...the "system" cannot be reset...since the only "system" that can be reset is the OS and apps. installed on the HD. If this computer needs a new HD...then there's really nothing to reset.

Which One? Haha
If he is telling the truth and only the HD is bad then it is a great deal. But as pigoo said, I doubt that is the only problem.
