Buy AppleCare on Ebay

Yeah, they'll just email you an AppleCare number. It worked totally fine for me, and I've bought from two different sellers (one was puckettkirby and the other mallard88).

I bought it off eBay during the time when Live.com searches would give you 25% cash back. It was already a significant discount from buying it retail, so adding that cash back was awesome.

I just got it a few days ago for US $170 from a power seller called coastal_computing. (2000+)

He email me the code and instruction, and it worked like a charm.

I believe you could get it lower than $170, if you try.

Mine was an effortless bid.

yea I bought my iMacs off there works great!

Thanks theITguy!

I bought my AppleCare on eBay. Registered no problem. Obviously you'll want to keep an eye out for people with good feedback that have sold AppleCare in the past, though.

People search!

Yes you can buy off ebay. Have fun supporting money laundering operations.

check out the other thread

try to get the name of the ebay seller in the other thread...the one where the guy got screwed over with his Apple Care. Def want to stay away from sellers like those.

I got my MBP applecare for $160, worked like a charm!

Bought mine from eBay last year for $175 and the cost was normally at $349, haven't had a problem with it. Though I've heard on another thread that someone's AppleCare was invalid after registration and Apple needed to see the receipt for the purchase from an Apple Reseller in order to validate the AppleCare. So, as other posters have mentioned you should check on the seller's feedback and history...

Whats this about money laundering?

my friend is wondering whether she can get the applecare off ebay just before the original 12 months warranty period ends. ?? or does it have to be done within a certain period of time after purchase?
thanks

Anytime before the limited warranty ends (12 months after purchase date)

so how do you make sure the code is valid? should you call apple?

You will know when you attempt to register it with Apple. That happened to me because my seller accidentally sent me a code for a MB instead of a MBP This would have been troublesome if I'd left it until the last week of warranty, but otherwise I got it registered just fine with the new number and have used AppleCare twice so far.
