Kind of impossible to give any kind of opinion due to the amazing lack of information such as exactly what specifications. With Craig's List purchases insist on meeting in a neutral spot like a Starbucks or even better at an Apple Store so both parties are safe and insist on checking the machine running so you can determine if it works OK and is in good physical shape. If the seller balks at any of these ideas forget it.
