What do we think about this iMac for $499 or BO

[Jack D.]

Found 2 iMac 27-inch 2.8GHz Quad-core i7 8gb 2TB (Late 2009) MB953LL/A's on Craigs List for $499 or BO each. The condition is listed as excellent except Needs fixing, it operates in "safe mode". I'm assuming this is a software issue that a nuke and pave would fix.

Comes with original:

1. Mac OS X Install DVD (Mac OS X Snow Leopard)
2. iMac application Install DVD
3. iWork Install DVD
4. Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (reg. price $49.00) Included
