Hi Erik,
Another site to check is lowendmac.com under their deals links. This
web site is aimed not so much at Mac users who are trying to buy low
end systems, as those who tend to keep running their old Macs forever,
or who want to know how to get the best performance out of their older
machines. So they do cover new product releases, but more from the
viewpoint of users who want to know how features and performance
compare and fit in with the (many) older model Macs that are around,
and also write about software and hardware that's still around to
boost performance for older models. For example, they ran articles
about where, and typically for what prices, you could find new Leopard
distribution discs several months after Apple stopped selling them.
They run a regular column on the best low end deals for buyers of
various model Macs from different sources (refurbished, close-outs,
used, new, etc.). Since Dan's site is geared to getting prices for
selling to a reseller, you should be able to get an idea by looking
for something between the two sources of price information.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

putting information about it into gazelle.com

Hi guys,
one of my clients bought a macbook in 2009 and then shelved mac OS
in favour of windows. Now of course her laptop isn't working
properly and she is feeling defeatist about the whole thing. One
of her lines of enquiry has to do with selling her current macbook
and buying a reasonable windows 7 machine. I'm not really in
favour of this no matter what she decides, but I need to know, what
is fare market value for her notebook, assuming that she still has
a year and a half worth of apple care on the thing?
I think it's the very first 13 inch macbook pro. The one with the
sd card slot on the left hand side. It's not customized in any
way, so 2.2 ghz processer, 250 gb hard drive, 4 gb ram, OS10.5
leopard.
assuming that it has the remainder of her apple care, what would
you say is fare market value for the computer? I tried looking it
up on Ebay, but I can't find anyone selling used macbooks. They
are all new, and priced accordingly of course.
Thanks,
Erik Burggraaf
