    The specs are:

    Macbook - White (late 2007)
    2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    1GB RAM
    80 Gigs. drive
    Battery is under 10 cycles
    Warranty until Feb 2011

    Everything in original box, cables, discs, all tidbits.

    Mac is 2-3 months old, the only place it has wear is on the outer lid, that it!

    Thanks in advance.

    $650-$700 seems like a good price to me.

    That's low. I sold my core duo white macbook for 750. You should look for around 800-900.

    I would say ~900 is a good asking price... if it is indeed in the condition you have stated. Santa Rosa!!!

    Agreed, at least $900 but only if it's got the superdrive, this wasn't mentioned by the OP.

    If it's the late 2007 model and it has an 80GB HDD, it's most likely the same as my MacBook... in which case it does NOT have the SuperDrive.

    it depends on the buyer.

    i only got 1100 for my 2.2 MB C2D SR. it had 4gb of ram, and 200gb 7k200.

    it was a bit low on ebay, but it was the day after the new pennys came out.

    i got muffed. oh well.

    900 might be a little high, you could get the same one your thinking of selling refurb from apple for 799...granted it doesnt have applecare...how much ware is on the lid?

    Wear is unnoticeable, very minor, macbook's lid can't be protected from wear unless you put a cover on it all the times :( , here is a picture:

    How are you selling it? If you put it on ebay you can just put a reserve at 900 or so. Be sure to mention that its got appl care.
