Hi, I am getting back to you regarding the 13" MacBook AIR from Craigslist

My name is Roxanne and I am now in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
The MacBook is still available and I hope you are still interested.
I am selling the MacBook for US $550. I have attached some pics with it to this email.
It's 1.80 GHZ i7, has 4 GB of RAM, 384 MB of Video Memory and 256 GB SSD (works 5 times faster as a normal HD) of storage.
The MacBook was bought brand new from Apple a couple of months ago.
About the MacBook I can say it's in perfect shape, as I used it only for a few weeks. Included in the $550 price is everything that came with the MacBook and also the warranty papers.
I tried to be as thorough as I could with the presentation so you can have all the info if you decide to go ahead and buy it. So what do you think? Do you want my MacBook?

Thanks,
Roxanne

I am interested but why are you selling for $550? Seems low priced for the specs.

I'm selling it because I've received it from work and I don't need it.
And I don't think that my asking price is cheap. I think it's only reasonable.
I have it with me in Vancouver, but I can ship it to you.
Let me know.

Thanks.
