Hi guys!
First, I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about the laptop (and I will upload photos a bit later or as requested).
The laptop is in "pretty good" shape - the only thing that is not great on it is the keyboard backlights don't work evenly across the keyboard, some keys are not fully lit (I'll work on getting a photo of this up here so you can see). There are normal wear/tear scratches on the lid of the laptop, and one side has a small indentation, and the keys are worn (normal use over the years, but worn). Also, the battery is a third party replacement battery and doesn't hold much of a charge (~40 minutes to an hour probably).
But really, let's give straight talk here - the laptop has been and is babied by me since I got it in 2007. That's a while ago though, so it is of course not perfect (see: above). I had Apple care though, and have taken the laptop in a TON of times over the years at the slightest sign of something being wrong. I've had the main board replaced twice, the screen replaced three times, etc. I took advantage of the warranty to make sure I had everything running perfectly.
I'm asking $350 for the laptop, in "as is" condition. I wouldn't recommend this laptop to one of my college attending sisters because there is no warranty and so if something breaks or stops working then it will need to realistically be replaced by hand.
BUT, that said, the laptop would be good for somebody who wants a HTPC as an option instead of a Mac Mini for instance, with the added benefit of being a laptop. OR it would be a great laptop. That's what I use it for, or did until I just bought a brand new Retina MBP. It's of course still a great laptop, runs Diablo 3 (not great, but it runs and is playable), runs OSX Lion, is great for development, etc.
Anyway, I'm asking $365 shipped, as is for the laptop. Pictures on request.
Also for sale, is my $100 dollar iTunes/App Store/etc gift card. It was "free" with purchase of my new laptop, and I'd rather make back some of the money I spent then buy stuff. I can send the card (free shipping) if you'd like, OR I will just send you the code to redeem.
I have heatware under "shoelessone" (http://heatware.com/eval.php?id=12440) 35-0-0 and wil ship first to anybody with better heat then myself, but would generally prefer to be paid first. In the case of the gift card I will REQUIRE payment first, regardless. Except if you have really great heat, etc.
If you have questions, ask away. Again, I hate to sell somebody something that isn't what I promised, but the laptop really is a totally fine laptop, it just shows some signs of use over the years.
