Becoming the Macbook Pro [UPDATE 3]

posted by ohphukimintrouble on journey

MacBook 1:

This one has finally sold!

All up I had a final sale price of $389.99 + $20 shipping = $419.99

Expenses:

$30.81 success fee

$5.09 shipping

$0.90 promotional listing

$35 for SanDisk 120gb SSD

$25 for trackpad (guessing, don't have exact $)

$130 for the MacBook itself

That works out to a neat profit of $193.19. Not bad!

MacBook 2:

I've ordered a battery and charger for this beaut. The charger arrived the other day. I'm just waiting on the battery to come now. The cost of the battery is $51.60.

Once I get the battery, I'll chuck it in and list the MacBook. I'll list it for about the same as MacBook 1.

MacBook 3:

Same situation as MacBook 2.

MacBook 4 and 5:

I got these on a whim. I asked for a buy now price on these. The owners changed the prices at the same time. I have two MacBooks coming. The cost of each one as $150. The shipping will probably be about $20 I estimate. So all up that's $170.

Unfortunately MacBook 4 isn't a 2010. It's a 2009. But it's still in the A1278 range. I'll probably still get some good bucks for this. Apparently the battery needs replacing """soon""" but I'll only find out what their definition of soon is once I get it.

MacBook 5 I don't know much about. The listing is rubbish. All I know is that I'm getting a computer with a charger. The quality of it seems fine. They listed it as having a "big hard drive" and not much. Based off the photos and the partial number I can see it could be a 525 GB Crucial SSD. I might keep it for myself and swap around the 500gb I have. Nice score!
