Lessie... how much of the warr is left? If someone had just bought it and
turned around and handed it to me, I'd knock off 10% (based on the "I have
no idea what the hell happened to this" principle). After a year, I'd
knock off 30%. I'd always knock 50% of new-memory price unless it has some
kind of demonstrable warr to collect on. I don't think I personally would
pay more than $3.3k for such a machine - they are going to continue to
drop in price very quickly as new models come out and battery tech
evolves.
