$750 for 2.2 ghz black MacBook too much?

[Ghostshadow]

Hey all,

I have a quick question for you. Do you think a SR 2.2ghz BlackBook w/ 4 gig ram 160 gig hdd, is worth $750 ? Would that amount be to much, or would I be getting a killer deal, also has spec case marware palmtop cover and a sleeve.

I would be buying.
Opinions greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I think thats a deal, but i could be wrong, wait for a few other people to chime in.

Applecare?

If I was selling something like that it would be a lot higher.

Good deal for that lucky someone who gets it for that price.

That's a great deal. It's a C2D right? I dread to think how much my CD 2.0ghz is worth...

 

[dtravis7]

That really sounds like a good deal. Like someone else asked, C2D?

 

[MBasile]

it must be a C2D, the CD can only handle 2GB of RAM

That's a crazy good deal if you ask me. I wouldn't have sold mine for that little. Caveat emptor.

Yeah, it's a core 2 duo Santa Rosa.

Only difference is the one I'd be getting would have 4 gig ram, spec clear case, marware palmpad, and a sleeve. I think it's a pretty good deal, so I wanted to see what you all thought before I plopped the cash down, hahaha.

Thanks for the replies!

 

[MBasile]

yeah, I would definitely go for that.

 

[budafied]

where'd you find it?

That sounds almost identical to the scammer's model on just about every Craigslist site..

But yes, that would be a sick deal.

 

[Ghostshadow]

On another forum that I visit. Do you happen to have a link to one of these craislist listings? Do they have any pictures? I want to make sure I'm not looking at the same ones.

 

[budafied]

There's none on my Craigslist right now...

but every time I've contacted the person, they say they are in the UK, so it should be a dead giveaway if its what i'm thinking of.

 

[Ghostshadow]

Ah alrighty, thanks for the info. I looked around on craigslist, I didn't find any going on right now. This seller is from TN, so I am pretty certain he's legit.

 

[Ghostshadow]

Just found it, it was bought in Feb. The MacBook still has warranty left.

 

[Ghostshadow]

I bit the bullet, my target was a MBP, but I couldn't get one down to the price I needed. SO I decided to purchase this black MacBook.

I'll keep you guys updated

 

[HmmIsee]

Nice find though..that is an AWESOME deal!!

 

[Ghostshadow]

Heck yeah it is I'm super excited. Since I sold the white one a while back, I've been in need, and this is an upgrade from my last one, so thats fab. :0D

 

[Glenners]

That is a steal!! Lucky you

 

[Ghostshadow]

Looks like this person tried to take a jab at me and they tried to steal my money.

I do not want to blame this person in the thread, but the specs are identical to the MacBook Tnjazz was selling, also the person was from Nashville.

I am only putting 1 and 1 together, I am not saying it was tnjazz, but it is very suspicious. I do not know if it was tnjazz, or someone else. Whoever it was, they sent me a silly rap sampler CD, to make it appear that they shipped the item first. This way they could provide a tracking number and so then I would pay them, and they'd get away scot-free.

So, it looks like I've been burned. Paypal is supposed to be refunding half of the payment, and luckily that's all that I sent. I sent half, and then I was going to send the other half when it arrived.

Do you think I should report it to the authorities ?

- This week has totally sucked and now this..

 

[PowerBookG4]

wow so as soon as they could provide a tracking number you sent your money and you did, and when the item actually came it wasn't a computer it was a rap cd?!?!? ***.
