It seems that the second-hand value of 568.2mm, not to mention their earlier brethrin including the 565, must have risen signifcantly as a result of the processor trade-in offer.

The going price for a 565 was �250-�350. But IIRC is was worth somewhere between �500 and �800 in a trade-in for new G6x+HD621.

So between now and September 30th the going price of older M processors will be significantly higher than before. And the corollary is that the second-hand price of recent M processors must be lower. A G61R offered second-hand at typically �2,500 or G68 at typically �3,500 can be had new at close to those numbers with an old 565 as trade-in.

Whether this is good on not of course depends on what you have in hand and what you want.

But at some point there will be a glut of traded-in 56xs on the market.

In the spirit of Spinaltap, I would like to confirm that I am not involved in the corrupt theft of a global sport.
