sstalder Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 eBay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...E:L:LCA:US:1123 I am selling my laptop in order to get a real macbook pro. I have only used this for about 20 hours, it does have a vanilla osx install (updates work, wireless works, two hard drives come with this). I have one hard drive with osx86 and one hard drive with windows vista home premium (oem install). I don't have an issue shipping outside the US as long as the buyer pays full shipping for it. Any questions please feel free to ask. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/149609-ebay-hp-laptop-with-osx86-vanilla/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
applehacker Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 hehe not for that price you wont sell it. I got a t5550 and DEDICATED graphics, 17" toshiba for 750 NIB. I don't think so buddy, not unless you REALLY beef it up.

sstalder Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 One year ago I paid $1300 for it brand new, I would like to think I can get at least half out of it now. I will take my chances. Thanks for your opinion though, really.

Omakayd Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 It is not smart to mention that it comes with osx in the auction. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/149609-ebay-hp-laptop-with-osx86-vanilla/#findComment-1061869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentburns Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Just to reimburse Applehacker's comment, $600 is way to high for a laptop over a year old given the current cost of new ones. You simply can't go by what you paid. 14" screen and a slow processor would put this in the bargin laptop range currently. These sell on Newegg, Tigerdirect, and others all day long just under $500 brand new. Another thing to add is HP laptops just don't seem to hold any value, probably because they are so mass produced. Add the current economy with everyone pinching pennies it may be a hard sell. Good luck but unless someone literally has done no research the odds are low. That said eBay tends to bring out some of the oddest buyers I know of. Just one additional tip, I'd add description information IN the listing, most people wont go follow links just to get a description, the back arrow is just too easy to click.

sstalder Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 All good points, I would just rather not give it away. I figure eBay is worth a shot, maybe someone wants that particular model. If anyone wants to make a reasonable offer I will consider it.
