Anyone bought a 2nd hand Mac in the UK?

[F1 Fan]

I have been thinking about getting my first Mac for quite some time now and have more or less settled on a 15 inch Macbook Pro. I want the anti glare screen but other than that, any specs from the Feb 2011 models onwards would be fine. Ideally, I'd like to spend under £1200

I keep looking at the refurbished section on Apple's website but am also wondering about going for a second hand unit. Any UK residents able to recommend a seller?

Thanks

EDIT: Also, if I buy a second hand one, what should I look for? I'm thinking: visual inspection of the whole body of it, check display for dead pixels/discolouration/etc, check that the optical drive works. Any more?

Look for battery cycle count and check SN to make sure it's not stolen.

I plan on making a checklist so I don't forget something in the heat of the moment! I'll add those to the list
