Sometimes Apple's overpricing works in your favor. I killed the cdrom in my black MacBook with unfortunate drink spill. Out of warranty, I took it to Apple to get a quote for fixing it, which was a ridiculous $400. I then made a claim on my credit card extended warranty for that amount which they paid and got a free drive from someone and fixed it myself. I remember selling it and overall making a profit on it after 2 or 3 years of use.
