Good deal. If you don't want it for $1k, I'll take it for $1050

sounds like a great deal. i personally would be a little weary but if all seems well then go for it but i found a better deal, a 17 inch umbp 2.93 for 699 but he was in greece

this guy's in a little town 30 minutes away from my (kind of) city. we're supposed to meet at a starbucks in a public place across from the hospital. He's bringing the box, etc., and I've printed up a bill of sale for him to sign.

lol i found that same deal was it fully loaded w/ antiglare and he got it in a business seminar?

 

[Jigsawjammer]

I've seen some deals and what always worries me is that maybe they spilt something on it and are looking to get rid of it before there is a problem. Also the moisture stickers apple have inside will change color and void your warranty no matter what.

Why don't you have him also sign that he has never spilled anything on it in case you need to take him to The Peoples Court.

Am I being too paranoid...???

IF YOU CAN'T PHYSICALLY PICK UP YOUR MERCHANDISE OFF OF CRAIGSLIST THEN IT 99.99% OF THE TIME IS A SCAM!!!

sorry to yell...

 

[clyde2801]

I've seen 3 college students dumping macbooks on cl lately, the other two are for the new in box 2ghz models. What could also be happening is that they're using their educational discounts for profit at the end of the semester.

lol yea and for the guy that said it was most likely fake, i know i was jk i have done my fair share of deals on cl

Fun173: I just wanted to make sure

Clyde: Can you check the serial # on apples site to see if anything comes up about the warranty or if its voided? I just want to know really for my own info.

 

[Theclamshell]

macbooks on cl

just now i looked at the boston cl and there are 3 extremely cheap macbooks, a 1099 2.4 umb but he calls it an "air"

A 1100 fully loaded 17 inch

A 15 inch 2.66 with 512 for 700

I appreciate it, some people actually do fall for that stuff and it must be horrible when you get scammed.......
