purchased on March 1, 2008 from Okla City Apple Store

Specs as follows:
-2.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
-4GB Ram (It came with 2GB Ram. I removed those and added 2 2GB Ram sticks purchased from OWC)
-250GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
-SuperDrive 8X (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
-NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 512MB
-Multi-Touch Trackpad
-MacBook Pro 15-inch Widescreen GLOSSY Display
-Backlit Keyboard
-OS 10.5 Leopard

It is in new condition and has never left my house. It ships in the original box with everything included.

There are no dead pixels. The screen is beautiful and perfect.

The Apple store price is $2499 before tax and additional ram. Tax and ram will bring the total up to about $2800.

I am asking $2275 shipped/insured. I will take the box to UPS Store for additional packing prior to shipping (like I do with all valuable items.)

Buyer is to pay 1/2 paypal fees if paid that way.

pm or email if interested or with offers.

Just for your information. There are no refurbished units at the Apple Store with the same specifications as this model. All the have are the older models.

I just have to say: My hart is broken that I have to pass on such of nice configuration and price right now.
Good luck !!! I;m sure you won't have any problems selling this one.
I'll keep my eye on it in the mean time. Scholarship should be here any day.

You know, people say this all the time but it's really dumb and unenforceable. If I want to add PP fees to my price, I'll add it in and not say anything about it. How would you know my price includes PP fees?

For example, my desired price is $2,000 shipped. I'll make my asking price $2,075 shipped to cover any PP fees and not say anything. Consider it a "handling" charge.

Anyway, why should I, the seller, take the hit on the PP fees when the buyer doesn't have to? It's convenient for both but only the seller has to take a hit. That's not fair in the least.

Hope I don't get baniated but I agree with MrJinglesusa. Everywhere you go theres a group of people who is quick to thread cap on whats against somethings terms of service or bitching about original software disks but they have no interest in purchasing the item they just want to blab about it lol. wtf is there a bunch of law school students surfing for sale forums lol. Let pay pal chase down those who violate their TOS, they are making the big bucks not us.

4.7 No Surcharges. You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as a payment method. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services, as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge and is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-PayPal transactions.
