Granted I dont live within the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion field so maybe $1200 is considered a deal to become a part of the Apple social movement, but I did a quick ebay search on recent completed listings and sure enough, early MBP dont sell anywhere near $1200.
mbp cost to own: $500
Low price is around $600, high price is $850 if its been upgraded. CPU speed doesnt seem to affect price drastically.
Giving a healthy estimate of $800 resale, you need to increase your mbp cost to own to $900
