[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 791249, member: 24160"] $750 for a three year old computer - with a 1.8 CPU - no warranty, no disks - not a chance they'll get my money. Don't care if it is a Mac. Personally wouldn't pay over $500 for any computer with a 1.8 CPU in it. My old P4 3.2 will blow that thing out of the water with anything you want to do including encoding video. While TB is correct in that it is worth the $600-$700 to a seller, think I'd be trying to save my money a little longer. Especially if you're wanting one to last you a "few years". Would you be willing/satisfied with a 6-7 year old computer right now if you had one? The answer to that question will tell you if it could last you a few years. And yeah, I know some folks don't need much in a computer. My wife is still using a 5-6 yr old Dell with a P4 2.8 and still content. I'm also extremely opinionated when it comes to buying used electronics. [/QUOTE]
