Techie/macbook value question

Jul 10, 2019 by jakehou
I have a 2015 Macbook Pro, 13.3 inch w/ retina display, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8gb memory, 128gb storage.

The catch is that the keyboard is broken. There's no physical damage to it as the backlight on the keyboard still works, power button still works, and nothing was spilt on it/broken, etc.

I took it to both the Best Buy Geek Squad and Apple Genius Bar and they said it would have to be repaired...and since my apple care expired literally 3 weeks ago it would be at least $475 + tax to have it repaired, so not worth it to fix it imo. I'm going to purchase a new mac (I found a deal at best buy that with it being on sale, on top of the college student discount gets me over $400 off the original price)

However, literally every other aspect of the computer works perfectly fine. With a keyboard repair or just using an external keyboard, the mac is like-new.

ANYWAYS i'm trying to sell it online and made it very clear that the keyboard is broken. How much is something like this worth? I've had a couple people offer me $400 for it
