iMac - Is it worth it?
I didn't know where to ask this so I hope it's ok to post it here.
I found one of these on eBay and the seller wants $1300 for it. I just wanted to know if this is a good price being that it's an early 2008 model before I purchase it. It's model MB325LL/A.
Thanks in advance,
Wyman

Hi Satcomer - unfortunately I'm not a student nor do I work for the government.
I forgot to include in my original post that it's new.

Well you can get cheaper Apple refurbished iMac for a lot cheaper. They are verified by apple and carry the same warranty as brand new Macs so you can't go wrong.

As Satcomer points out, you can pick up this machine "brand new" from Apple Refurbished for 1200 plus tax (free delivery) and you would get full warranty. Does this machine have any extras (legitimate software, extra RAM, AppleCare)?

Hi lbj - Yeah I'm going to go through Apple. That's what everyone is saying so the majority rules and it makes more sense given the reasoning. The machine in question is "brand new" according the eBay listing. I don't think it comes with AppleCare but I'm including the link in this post in case anyone is interested in seeing it.
