what's it worth? - bazookaman - 02-17-2014 my mom is preparing to sell her MacBook 7,1 to a friend of hers and wanted to know what is a fair price to ask. It's got a 2.4ghz processor with 8gb of RAM and a 250gb hard drive. Re: what's it worth? - C(-)ris - 02-17-2014 Does it have any cracks in the plastics? That is going to make a HUGE difference in value. That model gets cracks at the screen hinge corners and around the ports on the side. Re: what's it worth? - bazookaman - 02-17-2014 Don't think so. Plus she baby's it. Will check though. Re: what's it worth? - C(-)ris - 02-17-2014 No cracks? $400 is a resonable price. Cracks? Somewhere between $250 and $350 is reasonable.

Re: what's it worth? - bazookaman - 02-17-2014 So another question. Say she sells this machine to her friend for $400. What is a decent replacement? She ain't rich so a brand new machine is out. OTOH, I don't want to recommend something that's barely an improvement over her "old" machine. Obviously she'll have $400 to put towards whatever she decides on. Or whatever I decide on for her. She does emailing and surfing of course but she also does some Creative Suite work on it.

Only for 3 years... Most of those models are outside the 3 years now. Re: what's it worth? - C(-)ris - 02-17-2014 bazookaman wrote: What she has sounds fine? She could just add an SSD and get at least few more years out of it. Re: what's it worth? - jdc - 02-17-2014 C(-)ris wrote: I agree. SSD = make it feel like new. $150 for a 240-256 GB -- any brand will work fine.
