So, heres the deal:
Of course I always need to have the newest, top of the line computer. So about 8 months ago I went out and bought the top 15" MBP (2.8GHZ, 320hd @ 7200rpm, 4gb ram).
With the upgrades, I paid like $2900. I used the laptop for all of about 3 weeks before I took a new job and they GAVE ME a new 17" model configured as I wanted it! I know, boo hoo for me. I kept thinking I would find some other use for my 15" MBP but aside from keeping all the software constantly updated, my brand new laptop has sat essentially unused in its box and I wasted a ton of my own money.
Please check out the pictures - this is basically a brand new machine with Snow Leopard as well. It's under full apple care warrantee for like another 2 1/2 years so you don't have to worry about anything going wrong.
Included to the winning bidder are the following:
15.4" Macbook Pro - $2959
Apple Care - $349
Final Cut Studio 2 (upgrade orig box w/manuals and disks) - $999

Microsoft Office 2008 - $149*
Read Iris Pro 11 - $129*

Popcorn 3 - $49*
Plus a bunch more without disks that I won't even bother accounting for:

iWork '09 (Keynote, Numbers, Pages_
iClip Lyrics (works with itunes to get lyrics for your music)
MacPilot
Speed Download (WAAAY better than the Apple downloader)

... etc. etc.
-----------------------------------------------------
Total - $6926.
Tax - $554.
--------------------------
Total - $7480.
The reserve is WAY cheap given all the software/extras included. Almost $7,500 worth of computer & misc. I've done my best to list everything as clearly and honestly as I can. The pictures will also show you there's nothing aesthetically wrong with the machine either. I'm an ebay buyer myself and this site only works when everyone keeps their integrity. You may not believe in Karma but I do. I encourage you to check out my feedback (100%) and ask any questions before you bid. As stated, this laptop is like new but also has more than 2 years worth of AppleCare remaining should anything go wrong.
PLEASE, only bid if you plan on buying. I cannot accept returns since the computer will be out of my possession. But PLEASE know there is ZERO wrong with this laptop and you have over 2 years of AppleCare should ANYthing unforeseen happen. Also, I strongly encourage you to take the shipping insurance just in case. I will have it all packed professionally from a UPS store. I will ship the Laptop the next business day after the close of the auction and when payment has been received.
Thanks and good luck!
PS -
I'm not looking to make any $ off the shipping and will charge what is charged to me (materials & shipping costs). Some of the included software/programs have big boxes/manuals (like Final Cut Studio) so you may want me to only send the disks. It's entirely up to you. I'm happy to send everything
* regarding the disks for these, they were either downloaded purchases or I misplaced the disks so there are no disks to give you. All serial #'s are real and bought by me and will match my name.
