Is this a good price for a MBA?

800$ sounds quite good. They seem to go for a bit more in eBay and the one you're looking even has AppleCare which is a huge plus
This might screw me, cause you guys may outbid me
but that's where i found it: ends in 10 minutes, so look quick please!http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260705202335#ht_200wt_75
Could u guys confirm that this is a good deal? Oh and pleassssse dont bid!

crap, was at $760 when I posted here w/ 8 minutes left & it sold at $920.....i didnt get it but it looked like a good deal
One thing to check with the older 2.13Ghz SSD models is that they were made post-May-2010. That's when the silent SSD update went into them, with the same Toshiba-controlled SSD that's currently in the MBP's (and similar in speed to the 2010 MBA SSD).
The difference is that the older (slower) SSD would ID itself as "APPLE SSD SM128" in Disk Utility. The newer one is ID's as "APPLE SSD TS128b".
The TS128b model is twice as fast.

FYI, MacMall is selling their remaining stock of that previous model brand new for $1124.

Holy crap, what a coincidence. I bought the SAME exact thing locally, TODAY, on craigslist for $525! The apple care is good through October 2012 though
Ebay is predictable... price will often jump like 10% or more in the last minutes. People like me snipe - I literally bid within seconds of closure - what's the point of bidding early to only raise the price...
And you can find better deals than that on craigslist...
Good luck!

To save a few more dollars... Apple's selling that model refurb'd (full warranty) for $1099:

Haha anyone smartest enough to buy a mac is smart enough to know it's value, even if the said seller was desperate he could have still got more immediately for it.
Either #1 you're not telling us the whole story?
or #2 it's stolen
1. She comes from money, if you know what I mean.
2. Wasn't stolen because I've seen her use it around school.
3. She's graduating, and about to make 100k w/ her PharmD., so a couple hundred bucks probably isn't her biggest concern.
Could you advise, exactly how I check this? SSD would ID itself as "APPLE SSD SM128" in Disk Utility. The newer one is ID's as "APPLE SSD TS128b".
I'm new at this and need help knowing how to find this.
Yes, you can check that with Disk Utility. E.g. the SSD in my 2010 MBA is called "APPLE SSD TS128C Media"
