Hey folks,

I have a white Core Duo 2.0ghz macbook that I'm trying to finally get rid of. I tried to sell it back during xmas but unfortunately a new job sidetracked me to the point of not being able to effectively communicate on the machine.

The macbook has a dead HDD, an inconsistent trackpad, and a loose display hinge on the left side (display still fully functional). Aside from that appears to be okay. The machine will turn on, but not boot because of the failed Hard Drive. I am looking to sell this thing FAST (new iphone on the horizon).

Other than that, the Macbook as 1gb of Apple Ram, a superdrive, airport, etc etc. This machine could make a great music/content server with a little love and know-how. It would also be a great project computer for someone looking to do some minor repairs/diagnostics on Apple computers.

Unfortunately, the only discs I could find for it are my old iWork 06 disc, which will be included if wanted. The power cord is damaged, and will not be included with the machine.

I have pictures but no way to host them, so I can provide them as requested.

I'm asking $120 shipped FedEx ground insured. Offers will be highly considered. Please PM for payment options.

This computer is being sold as is with no garauntees. I have made every attempt to accurately describe this machine and its working condition.


Thanks!

Snow-i.

Oh and might I add.

The machine originally shipped with Tiger but is capable of Snow Leopard, and I've been the only owner since I got it when the Macbook launched in 06. The condition of the machine can be attributed to me loaning it to a friend who had her laptop stolen, and didn't take the best of care of it. There is no warranty or apple care on this machine.

Please contact me via this thread or PM. I will respond with further contact info since I will be all over creation this weekend. I can ship as soon as payment is made.

If you can arrange shipping and cover additional shipping costs, absolutely. I just did a quick quote on fedex and it showed $135, which is alot...but I have no experience shipping international so perhaps you can do better.

:-)

Buyer was extremely responsive, sent payment quickly, and all in all was an excellent transaction partner!

Good Luck to you and your new machine. If you have any questions about it, feel free to let me know.

I would certainly recommend/vouch for you in all your future transactions here!

Regards!
