I’m so sorry for the loss of your wife. I wish you strength and healing.
Post number 9 is your best solution to determining the details about
your MAC, which will be quite helpful if you plan on selling it.
Once you know exactly what you have, you can follow some comparables
on eBay to get an idea what the current value of your MAC
The Model Number would be the best place to start.
However, don’t ignore the other information, as your MAC could have
been custom configured, such as a bigger hard drive, more memory
etc.
Knowing exactly what you have will help you research current value.
Having the original box and packing will also help increase value.
In addition, if you purchased Applecare that is still current, that would
increase value.
i’m sorry for your loss. i hope you are able sell your mac soon. looks like good advice is coming your way. God bless you.
Depends on who you are selling it to. Some people really don't care at all about original box and packing. I wouldn't pay a penny more if it had the original box. I'd charge a disposal fee, though, if I had to take the packing crap.

Yeah, I can see how that would be a personal preference.
Best Buy may buy MacBook Pro PCs. I know they buy used iPods, etc.
I found a site that told me how to erase everything and re-install OS.X. I am doing that now. I have also clicked on the Apple icon in the upper left corner and discovered what’s in my computer. Now all I need to do is research a selling price.

(I use Macs regularly but not at home, so I was going by memory.)
