hmmm...
"BRAND NEW Logic Board! Installed by Apple!" This is NOT a positive in the minds of ebay buyers. Ebay buyers want a machine that has never had any problems and has never been in the shop.
And you guys and gals are greatly overestimating the avg mac ebay buyer. Most ebayers that will bid on this machine know far less than you'd suspect. I've had people ask me if my mac has winXP installed.
Tough one - usually I wouldn't mention a repair unless asked, but I've never sold a known problem machine before. I guess I wouldn't feel right NOT mentioning it, but even if you do it perfectly, your final price will take a hit.
