    Does anyone have any experience with Mac2sell.net specifically with rating macbooks to see what they are worth? Are they fairly accurate? Thanks!

    From what I have seen and read Mac2Sell is pretty accurate. It did underestimate the value of my old PowerBook a little bit however.

    Maybe you can post your specs and the Mac2Sell calculation here for us to take a second look :).

    $1900 seems low to me....thats got to be $3000 or so new (too lazy to look it up) plus tax....$2500 might not be too bad, the new mpb's are probably hard to find used already...

    edit: i looked it up and with apple ram that is $3099 plus tax new...so i don't think $2500 is too bad...

    Yeah, $1900 for a nearly new MBP with those specs...I'd go with $2500 as well :).
