I once saw a 660ti for about $1300, used

                                                                 ELEPHANT SEALS EVERYWHERE!

The resale value for macs are just crazy. Some people are selling 1 year old macs for 100-200$ off their original price.

 

$450 for a 13.3 in. MacBook Core 2 Duo 2GB RAM 120GB HDD. Macbooks were discontinued July '11.

 

People have to realize that Apple made at least 40-50 mil+ of these things, right?

What's great about it: Quality of it's Picture and Sound Reproduction

 
What's not so great: Price point is high so hard to enjoy on all Tv's
These reviews are funny but when it comes to true quality this cable can't be beat. The price is high of course which will shy away most people from buying but take it from me if you have the money to splurge and a great TV with a great audio system this is a wonderful addition to that collection. The cable is made from Silver which means it will always retain value. I own a Samsung 55F8000 with my Samsung F7500 Bluray player and it can't be beat I'm just glad they finally sell the 6.6 ft one on Best Buy since the 2 ft just isn't long enough for my mounted needs.

on kijiji someone was trying to sell a broken 42" plasma tv for 750$. They want so much cause they paid 4000$ for it new. No one is going to buy a broken plasma tv for that much when you can go to bestbuy and buy a brand new one for less.

I was at cash converters the other week while waiting for the bus, i couldn't resist a quick gander at the computer section. I got rather excited when i was a mac that looked to be in quite good condition, found a price tag that said $250.

 

Most normal people would probably nerdgasm over a $250 mac, but no, i knew there was something more to this.... After a look around i found another sticker saying that the graphics card was broken and there was no hard drive (which obviously means no OSX).

 

LOL what world do you live in?

 

Most normal people wouldn't buy a MAC even if it was coming free + they pay you to get it.

So... If Jesus had the gold, would he buy himself out instead of waiting 3 days for the respawn?

guy wants to trade his 2011 13.3" MacBook Pro that has been "upgraded" with a 500GB HD, 256GB SSD, and 16GB RAM for a 2011 or greater iMac. I'm guessing he bought some used/refurb HD/SSD/RAM and "upgraded" the MBP.

YOu could get them lower though I'm sure. Went to a shop down the road they had a second hand iPod touch for $200 and I'm like "eh, I've only got $80" and the lady just said " yeh okay"

$50 for a USED WRT54G. You can get a Gigabit N router for half that NEW.

I bought one the other month for that. They are really nice routers because you can custom firmware them and get the router to send wireless G signal to a mile.

I've got a WRT54G, and I have never found a use. I haven't been able to turn it into a repeater.
