[NeXTLoop]

I have a 15" 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro that I've had for just over a year. Machine runs great with no problems. It's easily been one of the best machines I've ever had (out of nearly a dozen Macs). The only reason I'm selling it is to get a smaller MacBook. I just got back from a friend's wedding in Costa Rica, and I found that traveling with the 15" was a little more than I wanted.

About a month ago Apple gave me a brand new battery for it as well. My original one was evidently not up to specs, as it wasn't holding a charge as well as it should. So they replaced it free of charge.

This machine has also been upgraded above standard specs. It has 4GB of RAM and a 320GB Western Digital 5400RPM HD.

The only cosmetic issue with the machine is a very small, very faint, bright spot in the lower right part of the screen. Most times its not even visible. Other than that, the machine looks brand new. No scratches, no dents, etc.

Here's the complete specs:

2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo
4GB RAM
320GB HD @ 5400RPM
256MB GPU
15" Screen

I'd like to get $1300 OBO.

Funny, someone else is selling an older MBP for this much but without all the nice upgrades.

I saw that. To come up with my price, I looked at eBay to see what they're selling for, and lowered it a bit to allow for the convenience factor of not having pay eBay fees.

I've sold several machines through the MacNN Marketplace as NeXTLoop or Hobbes, and usually use the above formula for pricing.

No Applecare, right? Just checking.
Matte or glossy please?

Glossy or matte?

Would you trade it for an iMac?

Rarely used, comes with Adobe Design Premier, iWork 08', and it has VMware Fusion all loaded with reinstallers.

Sorry for the delay guys, I've been at a conference all day today.

The display is matte.

Not really interested in any trades. Thanks for asking though.

Do you have any pictures and do you have any scratches or cosmetic problems with it?

[NeXTLoop]

I'll post some pictures later today.

Can you get pics? I would be willing to go around $1150-1200 if you're interested?

First off, thanks to everyone for your interest in the machine. At this time though, the machine is no longer for sale.

A couple of days ago, my wife accidently spilled half a bottle of soda on the keyboard. Fortunately, the keyboard trapped all but a few drops of the soda. I immediately took the machine apart, cleaned the couple of drops that made it past the keyboard (fortunately, none hit the motherboard), and ordered a new keyboard from PowerBookMedic. Today I installed it, and it works like a charm!

All that being said, I'm taking the machine off the market for two reasons:

1. In order to sell it, it would require someone to take my word that the machine is in perfect condition. If I was in the shoes of a buyer, that's probably something I wouldn't be comfortable with.

2. Even if someone was willing to buy it, having to spend just under $100 for a new keyboard cuts into what was already a very low price point for this machine. So from a cost perspective, its looking more and more likes its not worth selling.

And let's face it... any machine that survives, virtually unscathed, something that should have destroyed it... well, that's a keeper in my book.
