SOLD

I've decided I want a tower and 11" MacBook Air instead.

Just checking to see if there'd be any interest in this machine.

- Early 2011 model
- Warranty until Oct 7th, 2012
- High res matte display
- 2.2Ghz i7 quad core
- 8GB RAM
- 128GB SSD or original 750GB HDD
- Dual graphics, etc

It's in absolute mint condition, aside from some scuffing on the bottom.

w/ HDD - $1700
w/ SSD - $1800
w/ SSD & HDD (in optical bay) - $1850

Also looking for partial trades towards an early Mac Pro and/or 11" MacBook Air (4GB, 128GB, backlit keyboard)

......

Is this the same one thats for sale at $1569 on the Apple refurb store?

meow hissssss

Sorry couldn't resist!

Just saying that I pretty much have that exact machine but the Late 11 version and I love it! Sturdy, stylish, fast.... Amazing!

Did you get it from the refurb store?

Hi, thank you for your question.

No, this is not the same model. The one you're referring to has the standard glossy display, has a 500GB HDD, and only has 4GB ram. You should check the specs more carefully, as these are nothing alike.

The one I am selling isn't available on the refurb'd store at the moment.

There are two models you can compare this one to.

- The one that sells for $1699 which has the same specs as mine, except only has 4GB ram and the standard screen - the high res was a $100 upgrade, so $1799.
- The one that sells for $1989 (seen on refurb.me), which has 4GB of ram, the high res screen and has a 128GB SSD.

So as you can see, unlike some people, I am not selling mine above the retail price.


Here's the math, in case you're interested:

Option 1 (750GB hdd): $1799 + tax = $2032.87 + $60 for ram upgrade = $2092.87 - $1700 = $392.87 savings vs buying 'new' (refurb'd)

Option 2 (128GB SSD): $1989 + tax = $2247.57 + $60 for ram upgrade = $2307.57 - $1800 = $507.57 savings vs buying 'new' (refurb'd)

Option 3 (both drives): $1799 + tax = $2032.87 + $60 for ram upgrade + $192 for SSD upgrade + $30 for optical drive kit = $2314.87 - $1850 = $464.87 savings vs buying 'new' (refurb'd)

Yeah, if you consider sticking ones foot in ones mouth karma.

Okay thank you for the info!
But wouldn't it be better to buy the refurb one at $1569 and upgrade the drive aftermarket?

Look at all the money you could save!
Nice machine though and good luck with the sale!

If someone only wants the standard res glossy screen, and doesn't want the extra ram, then sure, a person could spend $73 more than what I'm asking for my machine with the high res screen, 8GB ram and extra 250GB.

Spend more to get less, makes perfect sense!

I just want to say that Kloan has been honest and very easy to deal with. I am just saying that he has credibility, to me at least. If I had the money I would buy it. I can honestly say that the man's word is worth taking note of.

So what you are saying is I would have to pay $73 more for a new one from Apple vs yours which is 4 months old?
:confused:

Take your head out of your ass already!

The price you suggested is for a LOWER MODEL.

- Standard screen
- 4GB ram
- 500GB hdd

VS. mine

- High res screen
- 8GB ram
- 750GB hdd

Like I've already posted, which you seem to lack any comprehension of, one would save $392.87 by purchasing mine with the stock hard drive, except would have an extra 4GB of ram (an additional $60 value).

I'm also open to reasonable offers from other members. You, I will never deal with, and are now going on my ignore list since I don't care to see your cluttering and ridiculously ignorant posts anymore.

Sorry it was a genuine inquiry!
I didn't mean to get you so upset.

Good luck with the sale it's a hell of a deal for someone!

Did you get it from the refurb store?

No, I bought mine through the Education Store

Even smarter!!

Shame, I was thinking of a trade up from a 2011 13" 2.7 I7 to a 15"

Hope it sells though, it's a great price!

Sorry man, I'm with the thread author on this. You're starting to sound troll-ish...

It is a pretty good deal, you are saving money, the upgrades are significant and decent for the price he's asking, and it is only 4 months old.

Stop badgering him, dude. Either you're interested or you're not.
