eBay is your friend.

Remember, old/used computer and electronic equipment many times will drop in value considerably -- especially if a new model is out.

Watch the refurb store at Apple as well. You will have to discount your model as it is not actually "refurb'd" and has less of a warranty.

so could i just sell it to th mac refurb store?
anyway i was thinking $900 for the macbook $40 for the mouse, but that probably wont happen so I'll go in saying $850 for both and see what happens from there.
gosh i am so eager to get rid of this thing but then again if i cant get enough money for it, i might as well just keep it.

You can't sell to refurb, but it can give you a guide on prices, try asking 10% less than the equivalent refurb price. How you sell it will be almost as important as how much you want. I would think that you could get $900 for the pair on a good day on eBay.

actually i was going to do craigslist, but i probably get more from eBay so that's what i'll do.
btw, if i cant sell my computers to refurb, then where do refurbs come from?
