Title: Used Apple Parts
Post by: Handler on June 29, 2012, 07:45:36 PM
Hi all!
I've been repairing a lot of Apple stuff the past year, and the parts are starting to pile up. So I'm thinking I could make some cash on here :)

Since there are a lot of different parts in a lot of different conditions, I will use the following pricing scheme:
Class A (pristine condition) items sell for 100% of the listed price
Class B (normal wear marks): 90%
Class C (considerable cosmetic damage): 75%
Class D (broken/abused, but still fully working): 50%

Every single part will be tested before shipment. The classes above are purely for cosmetic purposes. If a part has a functionality defect, I will note it specifically.

I'm open for using a well-known, trusted middleman.

Ordering:
Send me a PM with a list of the parts you want to purchase. I will then convert the price to BTC and calculate shipping, and send you a bitcoin address. The parts will be shipped, and tracking number sent, when payment is received.

Prices are listed in USD, to make sure they won't fluctuate too crazily. The price in BTC will be calculated based on the current Mt Gox rate when we agree on the deal, and locked for 24 hours after that. If you take longer than 24 hours to send payment we will agree on a new conversion rate.

Shipping will be calculated when the order is placed - between $3 and $50 depending on size and weight.


Now, for the parts:

(I will be adding more parts gradually. I have a lot of boxes and closets to go through!)

MacBook A1342 (13", Late 2009 / Mid 2010):
This is the white model that is now out of production. The '09 and '10 models are exactly the same except for a .14Ghz increase in CPU speed for the '10 model.

I would advise most people to buy A or B parts. C and D are fine for troubleshooting/testing, but could seriously piss you off if used daily.


Feel free to send me a message if you need any other Apple parts - I have a lot of stuff :)

And I would advise people to use Escrow for any purchase.  Do NOT do some bullshit like "pay half on proof of shipment".  Pure escrow,  or you're asking to get burned.
