coming at this late, i am shopping for a new (used) laptop so i have a sense
of the market, and yes, that price seems just a bit high unless there are
some major perks (e.g. remaining AppleCare warranty, accessories, large SSD)
it's hard to be sure without getting into some details
if it's really three years old (2013 model), it's a "Retina" model, which
means non-upgradable, and thus 4GB is a sign of a lower-end model; if it
happens to be a 2012 model, you'll see from the link below that is a
transition year — some models were Retina and some not — so it may be
expandable, but 4GB still likely indicates a lower-end model
if you want a low-end model, i think for that price you should be able to
find a 2014 with some AppleCare left (AppleCare warranty lasts three years,
and is a big plus on a used Mac)
EveryMac is a very good reference to tell the difference between models,
however i find their estimated used prices to be much too high
