Buying MBP on ebay need advice!!

[seb.nkl]

Hey guys, There's an ebay seller macman812 who,I guess, is the only one providing 7200rpm harddrives on 15'' MBP,offering worldwide shipping(Which is quite expensive),apple care AND 'extras' (do you think these are pirated?)
Has anyone had experience buying a MBP from this particular seller?

'This will include an applecare plan which includes 3 years of tech support and physical warranty directly from Apple.
This can come with up to 8GB of memory and/or a remote (apple no longer ships their computers with remotes) and can come with a larger and/or faster hard drive. If you are interested in any of these upgrades, please email me for pricing.
This can ship with great extras at no extra charge,please email me for details.'

I really want a 7200 rpm hard drive;but I have the impression that this 'upgrade' is 'homemade'; but maybe I'm wrong.

Apple products in authorised resellers here in Mauritius ar too expensive so I need your advice wether or not I should go for it.

Thank you
Sebastien.

Im going to suggest the obvious, does he/ they have good feedback? If not google his name as see if anyone has mentioned him.

Just for the record though I would never buy anything costing over £200 on ebay, especially as you cant see the quality of the good you may receive.

Agreed, the most expensive thing I've bought on ebay is $250. I'm just not willing to risk more than that.

Often you will see lots of expensive software included without disks, a sure sign of a scam and against eBay rules, but eBay doesn't really care.
