Default Macbook Pro (via PC Trade-In)?

Hey,

I've got a pretty high-end PC sitting at home. I paid close to 3000 for it less than a year ago. It's from Dell (it's a Dimension XPS for those that know Dell).

Anyway, I work as a Net Admin so I fix windows PCs all day long. I was talking to a couple of devs who have switched to mac for their home computers and are quite happy with it. It kind of got me thinking...

So do any of you guys know of a way to get some kind of trade-in value on my PC towards the pruchase of a Macbook Pro? Like... maybe a guy that runs a computer shop that will take trade-ins, kinda like the way you can trade in your car at a car dealership?

Heck, I'd even consider a private deal of some sort - as long as the Macbook was in excellent shape and a recent model.

Problem is, there are not that many Apple resellers and those that are, wouldn't touch a Dell.

Some tips to save you money though. Check out the online refurb store. Sometimes there's good prices but sometimes they are out to lunch.

Also, buy online at the edu store. Go dig up your old student ID number.

Worth it for higher end machines.
