Where to sell MacBook Pro in Warsaw?

Could anyone tell me the best way an American could sell a week old 15" 2.53 MacBook Pro in Warsaw?

I don't speak Polish and want to sell it because I got another laptop that fit my needs better. I bought it here recently but the shop has a no return policy after one week so I guess selling it to a private individual is my only option. It was my fault for assuming there would be at least a 2 week return window.

I tried to navigate Allegro but it was too much for me ;) Any other options? I know I am going to take a loss on it but I was hoping to manage to recover as much as possible. Am I dreaming for the market here? I am very out of my element.

Thanks all

There don't seem to be too many Mac users in Poland - not like in the States. I have heard that Macs are about twice the price of PC's over here, so that'll eliminate a lot of customers right there...

I too am unable to navigate Allegro because of the language. I have some RAM to sell, but I don't know even how to start. I guess finding a computer-savvy Polish-speaking buddy might be a start.

Also - check out Gumtree (http://warszawa.gumtree.pl/) - you'll face the same language issues as you do with Allegro, but it's another avenue. Good luck!

Thanks. I really wish they had 14-30d return policies like most places. I bet I am stuck with it and it has the International Keyboard that is sold here so nobody is the US will buy it there I bet. Yeah they cost about 30-40% more here. If I had just waited a week....

If anyone here or is interested or knows someone who is in Warsaw...it cost 7200pln and I would let it go for 6200pln. New model 15" MacBook Pro...2.53ghz...4gb RAM...250GB HDD...9400m graphic card. Has one year warranty from Apple plus another year from shop for 2 years total from now. You would be getting a brand new machine that was just opened to check out it doesn't have a mark on it and works well.

harperjones99@gmail.com for info

Thanks

I don't think the keyboards are different here than in the states.

Anyway, because of the added VAT you paid (22%?), you likely won't get anything near what you paid for it if you sell it in America.

Yeah the ISO keyboard is still a QWERTY keyboard...79 total keys instead of 78. There is just one added key to the left of the number one with some symbols I would never use. And the Enter Key is more vertical than horizontal. I didn't notice for a while and thought it was just how Macs are since I never had one but that kind of small thing might make it less marketable in the US. It is preferred here in Poland so my chances are better here if I can even manage.
Thanks for the input!

I managed to register on Allegro and I "think" it says within 72 hours my account will be approved. The rest will be the fun part...hoping I can write it in English and it will still get attention.
