What makes you think you can get one at that price when new ones start at $999, education discount starts at $949 and refurbished units start around $849?

Not likely at that price unless you get a shady deal

Im in nyc. Should I go talk to a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who robbed some guys? I'm pretty close to the hood, I wonder how often these thugs steal laptops...

Lol idk just being hopeful. The internet is vast, maybe there's someone out there who doesn't know at what price to resell apple laptops.

Meh I'll keep a look out come mid march...

The difference between what you want to pay and a new one is $350, which is about 3 weeks of part-time work (20 hours/wk) at minimum wage, after taxes. Does that spark any ideas?

Sorry, that's the way life works. You can't always get what you want, just because you want it. If you want the MBA, earn it!

I usually get what I want. Come next month maybe the price of current airs will go down amid rumors of sandy bridge upgrades. I think I can make it happen. I'll bump this thread when I do. :D

this could be the start of you not getting what you want ... late 2010 MBAs for $650 will not be seen until 2012 :cool:

If someone else out there is willing to pay her $800 for it, why on earth would she sell it to anyone for $650? Doesn't make sense to me at all!

She's kind of a ditz. I'm still hoping to convince her out of it maybe when the new pros come out. We almost hooked up at a party a few weeks ago so maybe I can cloud her judgment somehow :cool:
