[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1642860, member: 56379"] Maybe so.:) If just some little things were wrong with it (like a couple keys missing, power cord frayed, a couple dents or scratches)…then I would agree that using the phrase [i]"Everything works fine on it, save for…"[/i] might be ok.:) But a bad display and a bad battery really are major things…making that statement a bit "too positive".;) Nope…not implying that.:) I was simply suggesting (a theoretical example) of an even worse situation where a lot of things could be non-working on a laptop (and could be solved by attaching external hardware). Someone using the phrase…[i]"Everything works fine on it, save for…"[/i]…in this situation/example is not really the best way of describing the situation.;) Got to check eBay to see what other non-100% working laptops of this model are selling for. But as an example…let's say a 100% working 2011 15" MBP is selling for $750 (I haven't checked, so I don't know don't know for sure). As you know…it's going to cost a lot to get the display working (you mentioned "500")…and a battery is going to cost 100+. Basically see what other partially working units are selling for…then list your's with a reasonable reserve price (if selling on eBay)…and see where things go. The "market" will set a fair price for it. A "logic board and guts" that were replaced 1.5 years ago adds no additional value…compared to a same age unit with it's original logic board. A 2011 15" MBP with new parts or original parts is worth the same (other than maybe a brand new battery…which may be more appealing to folks). Good luck,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
