[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 880233, member: 56379"] Good idea telling the seller that you would meet him at the Apple Store AFTER they confirm or at least estimate the repair costs. So many sellers selling broken electronics on Craig's list come up with some sort of bogus estimate of what it will cost to fix. This is either a very low figure based on absolutely no professional estimate, or a "watered-down" amount based on a real estimate. If you insist on meeting at the Apple Store, and he keeps coming up with reasons why he can't meet at that particular time/day...I would say that he's hiding something. If he's willing to sell it to you for $250 cash, and you're able to "test drive" the laptop to confirm it's condition...then I would say go for it. But if you're talking closer to $450...if it needs some serious repairs...it might be better to skip it. Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
