I'd be careful about that paypal protection note. They may only cover getting a delivery to your door, not guaranteeing the product advertised.
He may also be pulling a 'since I'm outa here on the 1st, why not a big scam' scam.

Don't know how much of that applies, since he's not selling on an EBay site. I may be wrong, and the only thing you risk is not having your money for a couple months, while the dispute process finishes.
also, why would he make a site just to sell 1 laptop?
also, why would he sell a brand new , unopened 2300$ laptop for 1000$?
If it's too good to be true, then it is. I believe GGJstudios has a lot of information about purchasing macs online. Maybe he will post here.
It's not just one. It's 'A limited supply' and offer ends soon. He may be planning to burn his site on the 1st.
Why go overboard with emphasising the paypal protection? Stated twice, with a link as well. Trying to lure the unsuspecting buyer in.
Paypal protection means nothing from some of the other horror stories I've seen. Move on. It's a scam.
I purchased from this seller.
I purchased from this seller and recieved my merchandise as advertised.
I think they just try to get what they can for companies going out of business.
I checked the serial numbers with apple and everything was legit. They took down there website but you can still email them at- macpro725@live.com
It's a shame there is all this bad talk about them. I had an excellent experience and could not ask for a better deal.

Just so everyone notices, this poster registered just to make this post. Very likely this and the OP are the same guy that own that site. Do NOT take this recommendation seriously
I was going to post the same thing. I think this should be deleted, or atleast modified? Mods?
