Do you have a second Mac? If yes, you can use Target Disk Mode with appropriate Firewire/Thunderbolt adapters and cables - Share files between two computers with target disk mode - Apple Support - and erase the internal disk of the A1881. If the buyer has their own OS X disks, they can use it to install the OS of their choice.


If you need to buy a replacement disk for the OSes, please see.
