Macbook $500 worth it?

I'm thinking of buying a used Macbook for $500. Its a white macbook 13.3 inch 1GB ram 80GB hard drive. the person bought it in 2007. havent seen it but for $500, i think its pretty decent. my budget is $700 soo i can save $200. and probably use the extra $200 to upgrade the ram to 4GB and upgrade the hard drive to maybe 250GB if i can find a good deal. do you think its worth it? remember, my budget is $700.

I can just give you a reference.. I bought a 13.3" Macbook

Core Duo 2.0Ghz (note.. NOT Core 2 Duo)
2G Ram
250G HD
the latest OSX

all for $500

I might have gotten an outstanding deal and yours is still good though, I'm not sure.. It's just a point of reference for you

thast a good deal. ive been looking around and ive noticed that macbooks are cheaper in the east coast than the west coast. i live in Los Angeles and there isnt much popularity in macbooks here. and most are 13.3 white macbook 1-2gb ram and 60-80 gb hard drive. soo its seems like a pretty good deal to me.

that's good deal.. just make sure it works.

Big low sell high?

I'm about to buy this Macbook off Craigslist and the seller accepted the price of $500. It is still looks in good condition and works great, should I sell the 2007 model Macbook for a higher price and get the money to buy the newer Macbook model that cost $1000?

Sure if you can do it, why not?

Regards.

im just hoping i can sell it for a higher price.

Good luck!
