I bought this MBP from Apple Korea refurb store at Xmas, 2008 because I thought my new job required a laptop, and my iMac looked like it was dying; both turned out not true, although I have been using the MBP at work 5 or 6 hours a week for the past 8 months or so. I've rarely used it at home, except for five days when my iMac was being repaired. Thus, the MBP is in immaculate condition, inside and out. No scratches, dents, crumbs or dead pixels. Battery still 100%. No Applecare.

If you're interested, post questions on the thread. If you want to meet to check it out, pm me. Face-to-face, cash sale only, in Daegu.
Peanut gallery comments welcome, but not if they are mean spirited. Cheers. Smile

Thanks, it is good. Classy, compared to the chubby, plastic, Windows laptops I see around.

This is quite an odd selling point you're choosing to focus on...

Too, consider it was bought at a refurb store... refurbished...

It's like me selling a pair of second-hand refurbished shoes for 18 000 won, and claiming they are about 12 000 won less than the newest model.


A good deal, I guess...

Oh, jeez. I hadn't even noticed that it was a refurb. So not only is it a two year old laptop (ancient, by computer standards) that is being sold for not even half off the sticker price, but it's also going to on its third owner? Yeesh.

Are you ok, buddy? Surely you must have something better to do than trolling the buy and sell forum. Maybe not, though...[pause]...Oh...I just checked your posts on other threads and you seem pretty negative on just about everything.

Well, cheer up, life isn't all bad. Maybe start a hobby, or get some exercise outdoors.

That's right, hep. You got me. Wink Just keep going on the offensive to divert attention away from the fact that you're trying to rip someone off.
