How much do you reckon I should sell my MBP 15'' late 2011 for ?

  If its the latest model I'd knock a few hundred pounds off. Maybe start at £1800 to £1850?
  
  Remember if you list here you can't list anywhere else whilst it's active.

  Btw, I recently sold my 13" MBP on eBay for cash on collection. Did it outside eBay - I didn't pay fees and seller got it at a lower price, everyone is happy!

  Thanks Mikey :)
  
  I'll definitely not be listing it anywhere else if I list here.

  No problem :)
  
  Also it's good to really highlight the extra AppleCare, it definitely helps sell the system and will add value to it.
  
  And btw, I also upgraded to a 27" iMac from my MBP and it blows it out of the water, you'll be very pleased with it :)

  The problem you have is everyone's waiting for the new ones and there's a handy selection of refurbs available directly from Apple.
  
  From experience your probably better off waiting for the new ones to come out, especially if they get rid of the CD drive on the 2012 models, yours will then regain some perceived value - although if they bring out Macbook Pro 15"'s with retina screens, 14-18 hour battery life, Intel HD4000 graphics plus AMD or NVidia graphics with 2GB graphics memory yours could plummet like a stone.
  
  Refurb price for base (plus yours has extras)
  £1,569.00
  upgraded HD: user could do
  upgraded memory: user could do
  upgraded screen: Great selling point now, might not be with retina
  Screen: glossy, negative (I hate the glossy on mine)
  dvd drive: not a good selling point now, might be after the refresh (whether thats a good move by Apple I don't know, I'd prefer blu ray but then I like to own things as opposed to the Netflix, pay money to stream, own nothing long term).
  Applecare: A good selling point.
  
  So I suppose your lowest should be what Apple are selling a slightly lower spec macbook for.
  
  Also a lot of people know the education store discount trick which if spec'ing an exact match of your machine is:
  £1,674.00 with upgrades from Apple plus £40 in extra RAM from crucial and inc 3 years Applecare.
  
  Additionally, just seen this:
  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-MacBook-Laptop-Quad-Core-Graphics/dp/B006009L68/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337943507&sr=8-1
  £1,484.54
  
  Personally I'd resist losing £500 on it and just get an external monitor or attempt to trade with someone who has an iMac but wants a MBP.

  Thanks for your input super_leeds and for being so thorough :) Totally forgot that Apple should be announcing a new model soon.
  
  I'm ready to lose about £300 - £400 max on the MBP. I know there's no other way unfortunately, if I need to sell fast and get the iMac, which we've sat down and decided on. No point in having three notebooks at home anyway. An external monitor won't suffice since I'll be upgrading the iMac to it's gills with added RAM, 2TB hdd etc.
  
  But yeah, I think I should now wait for the new model to come out and then sell. Will have a much clearer picture as well.Then put it up as auction on eBay with a reserve or on here. Not at the same time ofc :p

  The iMac is due for a decent upgrade apparently so you'll be getting more bang for your buck there too
