eBay Listing says Operating System: Not Included

[Ross1308]

Just bought a MacBook brand new and sealed from Ebay, but it says on the description no operationg system Would this be true or do you think its a general mistake ?

*EDIT* Here is a link to it, btw it is the latest one isnt it ?

If it is new and sealed, it will come with an OS.

I think you should have asked this of the seller before buying. It would seem odd that they would remove the OS Disks, but It could happen I guess.

Id ask them (remembering if it said that and its true they would not have to refund you if they didnt want to)

Post a link to the item?

 

[Ross1308]

Just did, it says in description Pre installed Mac OSX, not to sure what to believe really lol

 

[redwarrior]

Oops, missed that. Yeah, I think you're ok. Apparently they detailed the specifics in the listing text, but failed to specify the operating system while setting up the listing. I think you have nothing to worry about.

Lol i hope so, i should have it tuesday so ill let you know
My first ever mac so should be a good experience

Lol btw, first thing im gonna do when i get is MORE RAMMMMZZZZ

No operating system included would be my first clue that the laptop might be stolen. I have seen it before.

 

[Ross1308]

If it says Brand new sealed never opened, how could i tell if its stolen

 

[redwarrior]

Someone here will have an answer for you on that one. But, honestly, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

 

[Ross1308]

Good, well as soon as i get round to it, i will ring apple and like enquire about warranty, hopefully when i give them my serial number they will say your warranty has 1 year left lol, not Your laptop is stolen. id be like "Umm well, oh, but..."

 

[redwarrior]

I just looked at the listing again. The seller has over 1,400 feedbacks with a 99.8% positive. Yeah, no worries.

 

[Ross1308]

Thats what i seen, if you look at the photo though, it dosnt look sealed

Hey Ross, did you get the merchandise yet?

 

[Ross1308]

Yep using it, and was exactly like it said in the description, Brand new and sealed, never opened, its brilliant i love it, just annoyed at a few things like not getting sound when playing avi's, cant fix it lol, as for the Operating System not included thing, well that was aload of rubish, i think thats why no one had it before me.

 

[redwarrior]

Excellent. Enjoy your new toy! I'm sure someone will be around to help you with the sound.

 

[D.M.S]

Umm, if it was "exactly like it said" then there would have been no operating system. Guess the seller isn't the only one who doesn't always type what they mean.
