OSX is very neat, especially with parallels for virtualization. But there is a better way to build a hackintosh

Vader pod is a rip off. You can build a unit 3x more powerful for $1500 if you are smart

Nooo I put them side by side and there is no speed difference, not in booting, not in running intensive CADS - its hype. Its the exact same product unless you look at the numbers.

The same could be said if the escrow was a friend of the buyer.
Or perhaps you're suggesting the buyer send the money to some random yahoo on the internet who decides they are a escrow (OMG), then I mail to the buyer, and hope for the best ?
Chances are the escrow will run. With a currency like bitcoin for sure. So it doubles risk for me as a seller. At least this way, two people are involved in verifying the goods are mailed.
Look, most people are trustworthy. Like 95% of people get that a few dollars isnt worth the hassle of stealing. Sure there are scammers, but if you want to trade, you need to trust. There is risk in every activity. But here is a opportunity for someone who generated a file on their computer a few years ago to get a fancy laptop in return. Take it before the bubble pops.
Yes if you have US dollars, I will sell it for less. But in magic beans... ahm.. I mean bitcoins, the price is 4. And that doesn't have a new battery and almost no use. Its not new like mine

hayseed, there is no way I'm selling a new $2800 laptop for $750 in bitcoins. Really don't you have anything better to do than sink my sale ? At least ebay lets people auction in peace. You're being personal and nasty. No need for that, put the pitch fork away. Its just a garage sale.
Regarding the memory issue, yes thats a bummer, but what the apple technician told me is A) these laptops after they find a bad sector they isolate it in firmware so OSX doesn't use it and B) they will replace the logic board for $310 if it bothers me that much. The laptop has never crashed and I have used it for the last 14 days as my main computer. Pay an extra $310 and I'll go get the logic board changed for you. But I really dont think it makes any difference.
If escrow is the big issue we will work something out. My buddy (eoakland) has volunteered to go to the fedex and ship it with me, so he can be the escrow.
Now, does anyone actually want to buy it ? Until i get a "yes I want it" , I'm done with this thread. This right here is the definition of unprofessional. This is why bitcoins are losing value.

ouch hostile Actually retinas come in 2 flavors, one with a dedicated graphics chip, and the other with integrated graphics only. So to get a dedicated graphics retina today you have to pay about $2800 still when you factor tax. And sadly Apple don't take bitcoin  Its a little better I will admit, but in practice its the exact same product. The $2800 version. If nobody buys it its on craigslist. I also take cash. In fact I will take less cash. No paypal. No the unit will have a fresh install of mavericks, that software is not included. Just loading to show its working ok. I sent you a photo showing this very thread on the laptop above. http://s30.postimg.org/madwmcrox/IMG_20140823_155732.jpgMy buddy who chimed in will even come watch me mail it. Enough with the FUD already  This forum is very.... sour. |

Want a ML605 board ? 3btc |

Yea but I'm not so
Using the escrow doubles my risk. Now I have to trust two people with my funds instead of one. None of the escrows are legit.
I can facetime with buyer instead, we will work something out

Hi all, I have to move soon and finally had it with ebay. HATE them. So I would like to try to get into bitcoin. I have surplus from my last startup. I will list it now and if there is interest I will add photos etc. Ask whatever questions you like I am a open book. First macbook pro retina 15" mid 2012 (4 btc) with integrated and discrete graphics. This unit has been in storage, like new, 20 charge cycles on the battery. We had a few of these for our startup. This particular one has a bad memory address during the diagnostic, but never crashes and works fine. I'm using it now. I have a HP ZR30W 30 inch IPS LCD screen (1.3btc) with a small fault. When working over the display port the screen doesnt wake up when it should say 1/4 of the time. Its a known defect that effected about one in three of these monitors at one point. You can either set your screen to not sleep or use the dual link dvi port. It also has one dead pixel. Otherwise its a great great monitor for CAD. I also have a SUN 20.1 inch monitor (0.2btc) (rebranded NEC IPS very nice, broken stand), a 802.11ac router (0.12btc)A2400NS, two Anker USB 3.0 hubs (0.12 each), and a Xilinx ML605 board NIB (3btc). Let me know what you think and if I can even post this then I will add details and photos etc. Things to note, nope I won't use escrow. I just dont trust the escrow people. But you can call me and verify whatever you need. Its my first shot at this stuff so please dont be harsh  Best, Thom |

Sorry its a 15 inch macbook pro with the discrete graphics option, cost $2800 and storaged until last month. Brand new. So thats why the price.... plus bitcoin seems a bit volatile right now. I wish I could be that trusting but I just cant. Still this unit is just going to collect dust, it deserves to be used so maybe i will find someone trusting enough. Its probably going to collect dust The trust thing is a huge problem actually. It reminds me of the early paypal days. And back then I took a couple of huge losses. Not going to happen again. |
