I doubt that there'd be many buyers for this Retina Model that'd only take a $200 discount.

Near maxed out (16 GB, 512 GB, 2.6) would be $3000+ (taxes). Even if you dropped it into the high $2k, that's a lot to pay for a used computer, especially since next year will likely have Haswell architecture which will be a bigger difference than Ivy Bridge was to Sandy Bridge.

I want to see your ads. I've never been able to sell a laptop (Apple or otherwise) of recent vintage and take so small a hit.

Oh, forgot to add purchased with a student discount. So when you're saving $200 and you take a $200 hit it's really $400 less then retail.

Thats a lot of work most people aren't willing to do.
