What's a fair asking price for my macbook pro?
I have a 17' macbook pro, the side of it is dented in two different areas, purely cosmetic. However, it has had previous liquid damage. Although the damage at first caused failure of almost every component, it now, 4 months later is working completely with a certified diagnosis from an apple technician. There is slight visible corrosion on the motherboard. Also i am not selling the hard drive because i don't want people stealing information. Whats a reasonable asking price?
Is $300.00 a fair price for imac from 2008 ?
I would only accept one for free, and even then you'd probably have to put Linux on it or something because it's not going to be supported in OS updates, which means a lot of software isn't going to get updates either. EDIT: I've got a 2008 laptop, even Firefox stopped supporting it about 3 years ago. I put a cheap SSD in it and installed Ubuntu and it's a great internet/office work machine, but again I wouldn't have paid money for it.
Is this a fair price for this gaming rig?

How much should I sell my used desktop computer system for ?
I assembled my computer in November 2009. Now I am going to Canada in April and I am planning to sell my computer because its not going to be easy to take it to Canada. I want to know how much price I can get on the resell. I am selling everything from mouse to UPS, speakers everything... Computer spec : Processor : i7 920 (2.66Ghz) Motherboard : Asus P6T Deluxe Ram : 6 gb G skill 1 TB HDD TFT samsung 20" GFX : MSI 260gtx 650W Cooler Master PSU Cooler master Elite 310 cabinet KB M'soft with mouse Altec Lancing 4121 speakers I would like to get a fair price for it, and i know that computers depreciate quickly. Any help would be appreciated. Thank u very much...
Conditionally, yes.iMac (Early 2009) - Technical Specifications 24-inch model with 2.66GHz or 2.93GHz processor - 640GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA hard drive - Optional 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA hard drive24-inch model with 3.06GHz processor - 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA hard driveThe first clue that you can, is that the 2009 iMac uses SATA drives... which is what the 4TB drive would be.The second clue that you can, is that a 1TB option has been explored and will work, making it very likely that 2, 3, and 4TB drives will have no issues either.DO NOT make assumptions regarding the processor and whether or not certain drives will work. That is not what the data from Apple means. Apple mentions different hard drive sizes with processor speeds, because those are the drives that were OFFERED when you chose those speed processors.
Absolutely. The iMac Pro is a huge ripoff for the consumer. In fact, it is my belief that this is Apple’s intent. Let me explain:The iMac Pro is essentially a money grabbing product to keep Apple’s professional users happy. The pro users will not necessarily buy the iMac Pro, but it shows Apple’s dedication to this particular group of consumers.Apple has stated that the majority of desktop buyers of an Apple computer, purchase the iMac lineup. This makes sense because the Mac Mini is obscure, and the Mac Pro is simply too expensive. This leaves many consumers who want a desktop, and an Apple computer, with one option: an iMac. The iMac Pro is Apple recognizing this trend, and trying to capitalize on it, ultimately making money from it.They know it is not upgradeable. They know it looks really, really, appealing. They know that the wealthier, “pro” users will want it. They know after several years it will no longer be able to do all the pro things they want to do. They know this means buying another Apple computer. They know it can make them money.The new modular Mac Pro is coming in early 2018. By the time the iMac Pro is available, the new Mac Pro will be right around the corner. It will be upgradeable, most likely a similar price point, just as powerful, and be an Apple computer. To me, it seems like a no brainer to wait, and purchase this new computer. This is why I believe the iMac Pro is a ripoff. It is not a bad computer, or overpriced. In fact, it stacks up quite nicely against the other all-in-one “pro” oriented competition. Simply put, Apple is playing a mind game with consumers, it knows it can win.The reason the iMac Pro is a ripoff is because the new Mac Pro will be right around the corner, and be much better in comparison in essentially every aspect.New Mac Pro concept renders of the modular design.What are your thoughts? Is the iMac Pro a ripoff?It must be noted that some people love all-in-ones and appreciate the design of iMacs. There is still a very small demographic where the iMac Pro is the preferable option, and for them it is not ripoff. This does not apply to the large majority of consumers, and is only a very small niche group of people.For more Apple news, check out TEA News Network!
I have an original Bondi Blue iMac that still boots up, so by that reckoning, I can tell you with all honesty 17.5 years (so far). A better question would be "What is the average useful life of an iMac?"Of course, it depends what you want to do with it, but I think 5-7 years for light to moderate tasks such as email, Facebook, Web surfing, FaceTime or Skype, etc. I'd say 3-5 years for more processor intensive takes like video editing, graphics rendering, and high level coding.
How much should I get if I pawn my IMAC?
It is my opinion that you would be better off selling it directly yourself. Perhaps you can sell it on eBay or Craigslist. A pawn shop is not a consumer, they are a retailer. That means, whatever they buy from you, they will sell for profit. They have to give you a lot less than fair market price in order to pay their bills, make a profit, and give a decent deal to the person who buys it. Although it may be possible to sell it to a pawn shop without getting "completely ripped off", it is highly unlikely that you will get even close to what the IMac is worth.
I've replaced a lot of iMac harddrives for the last 7 years, and I can do the 27" in 20 minutes, but I'm glad I had experienced supervision during the first few. It's really no rocket science, but if you do get it wrong, you might get it wrong beyond repair. If you're a patient person with a steady hand and like a challenge, you'll probably be fine with iFixit's help. Just take your time, get all the tools you need, and treat yourself to a fast SSD like a Samsung 850 EVO. You won't regret it.
