Good deal. I have a MacBook story:
Back in 2007 I scored two broken Macbooks off eBay for the price of one:
2 GHz Core Duo, 60G HDD, 512M RAM with a damaged LCD
2 GHz Core Duo, 80G HDD, 1G RAM with a bad logicboard - the user spilled a glass of wine on the keyboard.
I swapped the LCDs, memory and hard drives and ended up with a brand new 2GHz MacBook with an 80G HDD and 1G of RAM.
I sold all the leftover parts (Superdrive, memory, hard drive, top/bottom plastics, extra adaptor, etc) back up on eBay. When all was said and done, I had ended up with a $1400 MacBook for about $700 bucks.
I held on to MacBook for a year before I sold it to raise funds for my Mac Pro. I threw in my retail box of Leopard to sweeten the deal and sold it on eBay for $1000! I actually made money off it and got to use it for a year. It doesn’t get any better than that!
