I currently have a 24-inch imac, 7.1 model (2008), intel core 2 duo, 2.4 ghz, with an upgraded the memory from 2gb to 4gb, and upgraded from leopard to snow leopard. I'm an aspiring film student so this imac has final cut express on it but lately the computer and program hasn't been efficient enough for the large projects I have been doing. I want to get a bigger and better imac that will be able to support final cut studio and my larger projects but I first need to sell my old imac so the money can go towards the new one. The computer is in great condition, has never failed on me, has a wireless keyboard and mouse, and i still have all the original accessories, manuals, and installation cds. Does anyone know how much I could get out of this computer if I could sell it or what would be a good asking price? if anymore info is needed just ask! :) thanks

Well I'd say about $1,000. But that's if you have the CD's to those programs. You might get more than that. Macs have a HIGH HIGH resell value. Go on youtube and find the exact computer model as yours. Then add $60 for the final cut express. I think that starting price for $1000 is a good start.

Based on your specs, that iMac was released in 2007. According to this website, the resale value is in the $950-$1000 range, which matches other answerers. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac-core-2-duo-2.4-24-inch-aluminum-specs.html

EDIT: for iMac 8.1's, either you have 20" screen or a faster processor. http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=iMac8,1 Or, this website could be wrong.
