macbook pro 15'' late 2008 edition

[drnick]

my old macbook pro needs to go..
it doesnt work at the moment, ive given it to the repair guys and they say it just needs a new logic board (as i fried the old one by spilling a drink on it!).. it comes with everything including charger except for the hard drive which i removed for security reasons... can be used as spare or repair, sata hard drives are cheap as chips now anyway! im just always a bit weary of letting my own hard drives go, better off being burnt and binned! lol
ive upgraded to a new one anyway so just want to get rid of this one lying around.. logic boards are easy to come by but i dont need this old macbook so cant see the need to repair it lol!
make me an offer i cant refuse..
nick.

the macbook is in superb condition, just one very small dent on the lid where i dropped my keys on it 2 days after i bought it! other than that pretty much brilliant condition!

im looking for £350 ono.
thanks for looking

approx £250 to get this machine up and running again is not much considering new it cost about £1700.. even though its a few years old the dual core processor will beat the pants off any new laptop you can get today for the £600 mark.. plus 4gb ddr3 ram.. enough to handle the most demanding editing software (final cut pro) effortlessly.

I was not having a dig, its just that i am looking to get off the windows bandwagon and break into mac,
i do know the cost of these machines and i was looking for a cheap route so i was investigating the buy a logic board and do the repair myself,as i have done a few laptop fixes in the past and in no way am i an expert,
so please don't be offended
