I’m not sure if this should go in MPSIMS or here so apologies if I’ve picked the wrong forum. Here’s the thing. I’ve got an iMac, and I don’t really like it. I’m thinking about selling it but I honestly don’t know enough about computers to figure out what price to set. Here are the specs:

[ul]  
[li] 21.5 inch screen.[/li][li] 2.7GHz Intel Core i5 processor.[/li][li] 8GB RAM[/li][li] Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB graphics card. [/li][li] 1 TB SATA Disk hard drive[/li][li] 18 months old, very good condition.[/li][li] No warranty.[/li][li] Comes with wireless keyboard, and I’ll throw in a basic Logitech non-wireless mouse for free.[/li][li] No previous owners before me.[/li][/ul]

My questions are:

1. Is there any relevant information I’m leaving out?
2. Assuming I’m not, what would be a fair price to ask?

Thanks in advance.

Well, for one thing you aren’t telling anyone some pretty basic info.

Go to the little apple menu in the top left corner and you will get a box that looks like this [image.](http://www.laptopmag.com/images/wp/purch-api/incontent/2014/10/upgrade-to-yosemite15-611x400.jpg) Include that information in your ad.

As far as value, go to CL or ebay and see what similar models sold for.

A model or ID number would help. Looks like you have an iMac “Late 2013” 14,1 (ME086LL/A). You can look this up in the System Report.
