 |
|
Selling a late 2006 Black Macbook - Best model at the time - 500,000 won
Macbook comes with Mac OS X Leopard Upgrade - $150+ value and Office:Mac 2008 - $50+ value. Over $200 of programs included at this price and the computer is in excellent condition.
Specs:
2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (dual core)
1 GB DDR2 667MHz Ram
120 GB Hard Drive
Dual Layer DVD�RW/CD-RW SuperDrive
Built-in Webcam
Mac OS X 10.5.
Copied From EveryMac.com:
The Apple MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.0 13-Inch (Black) features a 2.0 GHz Intel "Core 2 Duo" processor (T7200), with two independent processor "cores" on a single silicon chip, a 4 MB shared "on chip" level 2 cache, a 667 MHz frontside bus, 1 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300) installed in pairs (two 512 MB modules), a 120.0 GB Serial ATA (5400 RPM) hard drive with "Sudden Motion Sensor" technology, a 6X dual-layer write DVD�RW/CD-RW SuperDrive, an Intel GMA 950 integrated "graphics processor with 64 MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory", and a 13.3" widescreen TFT active-matrix "glossy" display (1280x800 native resolution).
Estimated Current Retail as of November 2010 - $700-$800 and 500,000 won = $468.00, so this is a good deal.
Please contact me with any questions, to request pictures, or to make an offer. All Reasonable offers will be considered (key word: Reasonable). You can email me at [email protected] or PM at the link below.

Crackmac is the nickname given your model for the cracking around the palm rest area.
How bad is this one?
But all kidding aside 500,000 for a five year old notebook?
But it was sly of u mentioning the free software! LOL
300,000 might be a reasonable asking price.
For 500,000 one can buy a new notebook. |

| ehhh 300,000 is an insult. broken macbooks go for 300,000. remember this is apple stuff, not cheap samsung or hp notebooks. the "you can get a new notebook for the same money" also applies to "you can get a better notebook for half the price of a new mac." i'd say 450,000 would help sell it faster but im sure the OP could find someone to pay 500,000 if he tried hard enough or pushed the ram a bit higher. |

It's only an insult for the Kool-Aid drinkers who have bought into the Apple mythos. Do any actual reading and you'll find Apples are just as likely to break as "cheap" computers. Exploding batteries, designs that are so functionally flawed that they can actual burn you should you make the mistake of putting your LAPtop on your lap, iphones that drop calls if you hold them like a phone, motherboards that are fried less than a year after purchase...
The only insult is expecting someone to pay 500k for a computer that is five years old and can barely keep up with modern smartphones. |

your last statement is ridiculous hyperbole. i'm not defending the apple tax. the fact remains that apple notebooks sell and resell higher than their similarly spec'd non-apple counterparts. a trip to yongsan or other computer shops will show you merchants trying to peddle PC's with similar specs for similar to or more than the OP's asking price.
i don't know what smartphone you are comparing a 2ghz C2D to. android UI response time is terrible. all issues that apple has with their computers have no effect on the condition or performance of the OP's Macbook. |

1) You called it an insult, as if the idea of someone paying an honest price for an Apple product is tantamount to a personal attack. To balk at that is certainly not hyperbolic. Further, you DID defend the Apple tax by comparing it - obviously favorably - to what you deem to be "cheap" laptops.
2) The only computers you'd find at Yongsan with specs like this are netbooks. A brand new netbook (especially if we were in the US) will come in well under 500. To pay 500k for a used computer that is on par with a netbook is ridiculous.

At this point, dual-core processors in smartphones are fairly common and are well on their way to ubiquity. The best example right now would be the Atrix, if you'd like to talk about phones that are in the range of this laptop.
But really, why do I bother? Someone will certainly pay 500k for this - it has an Apple on the back. |

I didn't defend the apple tax, I defended "fair market value" of said item. I already said that PCs (not just macs) are being sold used at the same price the OP is asking for.
Comparing a 2ghz Full Fledged x86 processor to the tegra 2 makes no sense. the tegra 2 gets crushed. your statement is hyperbolic.
first you compare the CPU to a weak smartphone CPU then you compare that macbook to a netbook? really?
it seems that you think a new computer is a better choice simply because it's new. your new 500,000 netbook will be crushed by any 5 year old macbook or any other PC with similar specs.
there's more value in that old computer than there is in a smartphone or a netbook. something being "new" doesn't make it better than an old product. to people who want OSX or have brand preference its a decent deal.
there's nothing ridiculous about his asking price even if it seems just a tad high. you certainly wouldnt be able to pick one up for 300,000/$270. not yet anyway... |

that is the thinking of someone who i call a macboy/girl. you simply think because a mac is apple that it would crush any computer around 500,000. seems biased doesnt it? oh but according to your previous posts you are not defending apple, ahh yes how could i forget that... |

and yet i never said that...
i said it would crush his proposed 500,000 netbook. not "any computer around 500,000"
im not defending apple. i'm defending the OP's asking price for his particular make and model of PC, which in used markets is still being sold for around that much. as i said:

any 2ghz c2d is gonna crush your standard 500,000 netbook. i never claimed that macbook is going to crush any 500,000 PC. I said any PC similarly specc'd as that macbook is going to crush a netbook. |

You need to check the specs on modern netbooks. They all have dual-core processors, 2 or more gigs of ram, at least 250gig hard drives, plus HDMI outputs and sometimes even capacitive touchscreens (one Lenovo model, in particular). This is on top of the fact that all aspects of computer hardware (even the stuff they use in netbooks) have advanced leaps and bounds since 2006.
Just stick to pointing out that the market value of his Black Macbook is around 500, because when you get into actual computer talk, you just sound silly. |

Bump! Price has been dropped again. Looking to sell before heading back to the states in just over a weeks time.

I'm not here to chime in on the price overall, but you're super misleading in saying Leopard is worth $150 anymore. OS X is now at 10.6.7, and this is 10.5
The good news, though, is that I believe this one will be able to upgrade to the newest operating system expected out this autumn sometime. |

Actually, if you had done your research you would have found that the cheapest you can currently buy Mac OS X Leopard for is around $95 used from eBay. The cheapest you can find it online, new is around $129. What I had said was that I paid over $150 for it when I purchased it, and today it is still worth a good amount of money.
Not only that, but Mac OS X Leopard was a big upgrade from the previous version with more changes and thus cost more money. The current version (Snow Leopard) had minor changes and costs a fraction of what OS X Leopard costs. I found a Snow Leopard upgrade in 10 seconds using google for only $13.
Of course, that won't help you if you're upgrading from "Tiger" (10.4) to Snow Leopard, because you need Leopard to upgrade to Snow Leopard, if you want your automatic upgrade and mac support to still work. You'd have to buy the Snow Leopard box set which costs over $100. So, in effect, I'm saving the buyer over $100 if they decide to upgrade to Snow Leopard.
But all that really doesn't matter, because you aren't interested in buying the computer. You, like everyone else on this thread, are trolling my sale for no real reason other than to have an argument (albeit a stupid one) about Mac v. PC and tell me that I'm being "super misleading" by posting the truth about the product. This same laptop is selling on ebay for over $500, so I'm not scamming or trying to rip anyone off.
This is a great computer that I would enjoy keeping but due to my travel plans I would rather sell it. Take your Mac v. PC arguments and negative comments elsewhere because it's annoying trying to sell something and all the attention is turned to an argument about whether Macs should cost as much as they do. I personally am a PC geek and don't understand the Mac craze but do understand that their market value is higher.
