So a friend of mine spilled water on her MBP, and she's asking me what she should do with it now that she has replaced it with a new unibody MBP... The info she gave me was that it's 15" and it was top-spec'd in terms of screen/video/processor/ram when she bought it Summer 2007. Everything is in great shape other than the logic board, which obviously will need to be replaced.

After doing some digging I figure if I was her and I didn't want to mess with it I'd put it up for sale at $700 obo, but I'm afraid it wouldn't get many bites at that price. If it was ME I'd replace the LB myself or get a friend to do it for way less than the Apple Store, then sell it in working condition (if I could get a LB for cheap enough).

What would you guys sell it for / where would you go with this next if you were her?

Yeah, that was my thought... She's not going to get crap for it trying to sell it on CL here in Raleigh...

I recently bought a replacement LCD from them and I'm more than satisfied with their service and free guides.
