Probably about R12-14k. I think you loose out with only 1GB Ram, and the fact that you can now get a MBPro 13" for about R15k or so brand new which is what alot of people would go for.

Why do you want to sell it?

I doubt you would get R14k for it, I would say between R10k and R12k.

don't rely on this , just a guesstimate - R10000-12000. Maybe a little bit more if you had extra RAM.

Check gumtree to compare, I quickly had a look, some of the asking prices are too ambitious in my opinion.

Unless you 'need' to sell IT gear, it rarely makes frugal sense to do so.

EDIT: didn't see above posts, in case you think I was confering about the price

I wanna get two mac mini's instead. Dont do much traveling anymore so no real need for a laptop.

I changed the drive to a 500GB as well.

It would be worth your while adding 1GB extra RAM for R200 odd bucks before you sell it. People put a lot more value on RAM than what it costs these days.

How about a trade?

I have a Mac Mini 2.0Ghz, 120Gb HDD, 2Gb Ram with the logitec mac keyboard and mouse and say a 21/22" LCD Monitor plus R4k in cash for your macbook pro?

Does this Macmini have a SuperDrive? Is it the latest one?

It does have a superdrive, however it's one model before the latest one I think. I can check later and give you the part number (it's my home computer). It came with OSX Leopard and iLife 08 loaded on it and it's definately an intel machine.

Don't use it too often, so it's in really great condition. Have the box, remote and discs with it too.
