Is it safe to give somebody my serial number?

[0186279]

I am selling my MBP to somebody and they would like to know the serial number. Why do they want this and is it safe to share?

Thanks : )

They want it to prove authenticity.

They can't do much with it. Probably just wants to check warranty status himself. It's safe to give.
