I have a cursed white plastic 2.0GHz MacBook. First first person to email me gets it for $400. [sold]

This is sold, sorry.

=========

This laptop is functionally fine, but I'm sure it's somehow going to play a part in my demise. As far as I am concerned, the thing is cursed.

It began its life at CompUSA, where I bought it spontaneously as the company was going out of business. Then it sat on my desk for a year and did nothing. Then I sold it, and it was returned because of "financial difficulty." Then I sold it again, and buyer's check bounced. Then it sat on my desk for another six months, and I sold it again. That buyer then returned it because I made a typo on the specs list. And because of a misunderstanding (I suck at email) caused quite a bit of tension and anger.

I'm going to have it back again soon, and I want to get rid of this fucking thing as soon as humanly possible. So here's the deal: you give me 400 dollars, via PayPal, and I'll send you the MacBook. You agree never to ever contact me or talk to me about it again. I promise it works and comes with a power adapter. That's it. If I ever see it again, I am going to burn it.

Similarly configured MacBooks go for 600-700 on craigslist/ebay.

Specs:

 

White Macbook Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz Intel Processor, 
13.3-inch (diagonal) glossy TFT widescreen display, 1280 by 800 resolution, 
250GB 7200 rpm hard drive, new keyboard/touchpad, 
2GB ram, 
Airport wifi and bluetooth, built-in iSight video and still camera webcam, 6x SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) Built-in stereo speakers, built-in omnidirectional microphone. 

(I'll even sign it.)

This is a bad way to greet every person who walks through your door. A good customer experience is in the details.

Do not let your fire go out

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."
