What would you pay for a used Mac Pro 2.66? bare bones, education discount bought, from a private seller locally no need to ship
I know someone selling one just need to know what i should quote them.
I was thinking 2000$
They want 2400$
I think thats ridiculous for 90$ more i could get one straight from apple with my edu

The Mac Pro is literally brand new...just buy one from Apple.

As MSFT says, the Mac Pro is literally brand new...which explains why your seller wants $2400.00...he'd like to recoup at least most of what he spent. However, he has to find a sweet spot where a buyer will feel he's really getting a savings by buying the "used" brand new Mac Pro. When you could buy one straight from Apple for only $90.00 more, there's no incentive to buy a used one from a private seller.

I'd say $2200 is probably around the pricepoint where someone might feel it worthwhile to buy this slightly use machine, as opposed to buying from apple.

What about tax? If you buy from Apple, you're looking at another $120 or so in tax (depending on your rate).
