2.16ghz


Regardless, I'm pretty sure all MBPs share the same dimensions.

Considering that you only way to get these boxes and packaging is to pony up at least $2k for a Macbook Pro, I'd say you're getting a good deal

And imagine you don't have the packaging. What are you going to do with a Macbook Pro you want to sell, use bubble wrap? Clearly stating that you own the original packaging adds significant value to your sale. $40 dollars is a worthwhile investment in that case.

No you simply can't get an Apple box for free from Apple.

I beg to diffre my friend-i have gotten 3 boxes from the apple store by simply asking
maybe i been lucky maybe the girl i asked like me or the dude just thinks im gorgeous
and the manager probably thinks im sexy but i have gotten free boxes off the apple store simply by going up to a mac rep and saying.

"DO YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE ANY UNNEEDED BOXES OUT IN THE BACK?"
usually the answer is maybe and the ygo back there and to my luck they bring exactly what i wanted.

sorry to mess your whole sale up but ripping people off for packaging deserves a saw like treatment. BE A HUMAN MAN YOU WAS GONNA THROW IT AWAY ANYWAYS JEESH
