haha...well sorry to keep everyone waiting. I've been extremely busy the last few days.
I bought the Mabook Pro, and it really is BRAND NEW. I mean, BRAND spanking NEW
It was still sealed, and it started up exactly like my iMac did for its first time (and i bought that at the apple store).
This was just a really great deal.
Thanks for everyone's input!
Luck Luck.... Just your Luck.. ;D (Pathetic movie btw)
Sorry for the rude intervention but seems like it was stolen.... thoughts?
Pathetic move? What's pathetic about getting a great deal on a computer?
Just becuase it was cheap does NOT mean it was stolen. I asked the guy, he said he was selling it because he already had one and his friend got him this one. What am I supposed to do, track through police records?

As people have mentioned there are legitimate reasons.
For example, I sold a Black MacBook Pro last July for less than its price BRAND NEW, because it was part of an insurance claim. I had no need for the MacBook, so all money was money in my pocket.
Furthermore, it had a purchase date according to when the reseller got it, a couple months before the actual purchase date - a quick call to apple reset the registration date.

Er..... glasses in order???
Though I wonder what kind of 'profanity' was used against me.... couldnt make it on time to find out... Mods edited it!
Anyway... this is the movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397078/ avoid it if you can !
But frankly.... without any proof or the owner knocking at your door.. you shouldnt have any problems at all! Why I own some camera equipment which I '"think'" are stolen, but... I've paid for them and I am certainly not sure if they are stolen!
