[FS] MacBook Pro (allowed? I forgot)

[DonatelloFan]

I could have sworn there was a section somewhere to sell non-TMNT things (aside from the non-TMNT eBay auction section). Am I wrong? I have a MacBook I'm trying to sell, but obviously don't want to violate any rules.

you would be much better off just selling it on craigslist

that way you get a local buyer and don't have to deal with shipping. used electronics are the kind of thing you really want to see i person before buying if it's from a stranger.

macs are popular, you will get some bites if it's not too old and in good condition.

Oh, it's pretty much top of the line (excluding retina displays), fairly new, and has high end specs on it. I will not do Craigslist, as I really don't want to take the chance on someone robbing me for a $1000 computer. I'm either selling to someone I know, someone online I can ship it to, or on eBay (which I don't want to do due to the stupid fees). I just need to know if it's okay if I list it here, as I really can't remember.

I use Craigslist a lot for buying and selling. I've always met someone in a very public place. So far I've never had a bad experience.

You could go the ebay route, but on a high end item like that you are going to pay quite a bit in fees.

This board is part of the TMNT Merchandise section. It's for BST of TMNT items. Unless it is a tmnt themed computer of some kind I don't think it qualifies.

But that's not a bad thing... you are trying to sell a valuable item... you are going to get a very limited number of eyes on your item by listing it here. You should really list it someplace more appropriate.

Craigslist is the best option for selling electronics. Meet in a public place and no one's going to rob you. I've sold my two previous iPhones this way and had no problem. Dealing these items online and using PayPal actually leaves you much more susceptible to fraud.

And no, this is not the place to sell it. If you're not willing to sell on Craigslist, take this to eBay. But be very careful.

Why not just see if a local electronics/used computer shop will buy it?

Exactly. I want to stay off of eBay unless it's ABSOLUTELY necessary.

That's the answer I was looking for. If it's not the right place, I'll take this down.

Because I know I'll get about half of what I can get for it by selling it another person.
