[quote RAMd®d] By then, I think you'll have to be very lucky to get $500 for that 'Book.
This is probably very true. I’m not really interested in how much I can get for the iBook…more what the delta is between a MacBook and the iBook.
The 1.33Ghz iBook had a precipitous drop and will continue a slow depreciation (in my humble speculation). The MacBook’s first price step-function will be in the refurbs. Given the differential rates, depreciation versus a fixed refurb delta, I’m gambling the sweet spot will be the appearance of the refurbs.
I could be wrong on this, but the hunt is half the fun.
