rick taylor Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 My insurance company is replacing my toshiba a100 with a a120 pro model, pretty neat, but I'm sick of Windows and really want a macbook pro. So I've decided to sell it immediately. The item, when it arrives (wednesday), will be unopened and untouched with a windows XP pro license. The item is listed on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=130017094377 But I'll also consider selling outside of Ebay if you'd prefer. I'm also willing to swap/part exchange for a macbook pro, I'd be surprised if anyone would be willing to do that though. I can't say much about this machines value as a hackmac, the Intel® 945GM Express chipset should work by all accounts, but the Intel pro wireless might present a problem (it did for me on the a100).

rick taylor Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Just a quick update... I received a "buy it now" bid last night from a janevatt1, her registered address being in the USA . This morning I get an email, turns out she wants it shipping to her son in Nigeria. I've sent a complaint to Ebay, hopefully they won't charge to re-list. The item arrived today, if anyones interested I can post pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick taylor Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 Another update. Ebay has proved to be a real disappointment and a hangout for scammers and all manner of undesirables. The toshiba never sold, so I'm dropping the price. £800, postage not included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogabean Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Shame your not in the US and this laptop wasn't around $500.00 US Dollars (my limit before shipping on a non Apple laptop)... I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat. Rather like the specs of that machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick taylor Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Do you think I'm overcharging a bit? I think I might be, but I have to get least most of the money back. The wife/boss will kick my ass if I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogabean Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I honestly don't know. I couldn't find that laptop on ebay. I also don't know too much about pounds to dollars, so I don't know how what I would pay for it vs. what you are charging lines up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
