You did not buy this new from Apple in 2008. I know this because Apple stopped selling that model in 2006. Just throwing that out there.


Also it's the ONLY Macbook Pro made that doesn't even support OS X 10.7 Lion, which is why their value tanked a while back. 10.8 Mountain Lion is of course also out of the question.

Damn i am getting old. You are right, manufactured in 2006, I bought in December that year through Guitar Center for an audio/video editing workstation (it was a package they had with Logic Pro and FCP).

Anyway, runs Final Cut Studio 7 great, but the OS is not upgradable to Lion.

I'll consider any reasonable offers.

Say whatever you want to, but trade in value for something like that in PERFECT condition is 200 bucks.

This isn't ebay, so don't expect your 500, which is before fees.

Actually this has a rather big plus going for it . . . . it doesn't use the GeForce 8600M GT video chipset, and thus has a very low rate of failure compared to the subsequent few models. I'd say $300-400 would be a fair price, its still a rather nice 17" Apple laptop.

Oh snap.

I would take around 400 for sure. I'm not trying to rip anyone off, I've used this mac consistently since I've had it and it's pretty good if you just want to do Final Cut Pro, Adobe, word, web etc.

I'll do 2 bills. ($200)
needs a new battery...which sucks.
