I have been struggling with the idea of selling my DDF. I snagged it in the ganza and still haven't used it. I really wish I had gotten 2 of them now.

I wouldn't go for it.

Apple has some good prices on refurbs right now. They come with a full one year warranty. Like this one... the processor is slightly slower, but you won't notice the difference. He's offering you about a $100-200 off what you'd pay for a refurb, for something where the warranty will expire in three months.

Windows 7 + parallels are certainly expensive as well, but they could be pirated, or he could have made copies of the install disc's to save them for himself, so he's potentially losing nothing by including them.

you could get a pc and a 24 inch monitor with the same features and still have money left over, but your set on a mac right?

I sold it pretty soon after buying it and using it a bit. Not a fan of the saber grind, and it wasn't terribly sharp. I have big INFI choppers that outperform the DDF, so pretty much the only thing it has going for it was the res-c handle. I'm generally not in love with fat choppers, when a well sharpened and properly wielded thinner knife can generally come very close to matching the performance of a big fat monstrosity on many materials, and even beat the fattie in some materials.
