I'm going to take a stab at it since no one else has. Based on the main specs, with a 4th gen i7, 802.11n, DDR3 and HDD bringing the cost down. The discrete graphics, USB 3 and 16 GB RAM bringing the cost up. The fact that it is used brings the cost down even if it only has 50 hours of use. Used is used. Depending on the actual age of the machine, the battery may or may not be ready for replacement.

1080 screen res neither enhances the price nor lowers it in my opinion.

I see that this unit still retails for around $950+ but a newer replacement could be less.

I'm going to say $600-$650. Just my opinion based on the criteria listed above.

If you were to have added an 802.11ac (cheap) and a medium sized SSD (relatively cheap) you could get more leaving the battery as the only unknown.
 
$750, based on what its going for right now on eBay for one that is used or refurbished.
