Surely somebody would give you a good price for it! How much are you asking?

- petercooper 16y agoI like to find successful eBay auctions to gauge value but they're highly variable since it's not commonly sold kit and I've upgraded it to 8GB of memory, more hard drives, and what not. For an 8 core 2.8GHz Mac Pro with 8GB memory, I've seen everything from £1500ish to £2200 (which is more than it cost new!! - I suspect it's because the older 8 core Xeons are faster than the current 4 core ones that replaced them). Given that, I'd take £1500 for it. On the 30" ACD front, it's as-new, little used over the last year, no dead pixels, the same as the current £1199 one basically. I think I'd take £700 for it just because it's taking up a lot of space. On the 17" MBP, I haven't done my research yet - it's a stock 17" 2.66GHz unibody MBP with 4GB RAM, no dead pixels, heathly battery. Cost £1799 new, I think. No good auctions to watch on eBay it seems, someone has the same machine for £1439 BIN. If I had to stab in the dark, though, it's probably worth £1300.
- semanticist 16y agoI recommend finding your local Mac USer Group and see if anyone there's looking for one. There's a few machines been bought/sold via the Edinburgh MUG.
- ashleyw 16y ago£3,000: one year of car insurance OR an 8 core Mac Pro, 30" ACD, and an iPad. Hmmm…
- petercooper 16y agoOne year of car insurance? Christ. I thought £700 was bad enough (and I'm almost 30).
