I saw a retina MacBook Pro on Craigslist and am talking to the seller. It's base 2012 15" (2.3/256/8gb). He has the box and charger as well, and it's a Samsung display. Warranty expires in a couple weeks on November 8 and I can always extend it 2-3 years with AppleCare. He wants $900 cash. Mint condition. Reason he's selling: has to take care of bills for family. Good price?
Got a tip for us?

Is this a good price?

That is a tricky one.....
too low price to be good and true, IMO
He will want the money to pay bills and something, but even with warranty, you can end with a lemon.....

Oh Squilly
your 'is this a scam?' threads always keep me entertained.
Of course it's a scam, 100%. Just be careful out there matey, it's a dangerous world. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

If it were a lemon, I could just send it to Apple within the timeframe of the warranty.
Buy it, Mate!
Never pass up an opportunity to get something for a too-good-to-be-true price...or miss out on any get rich quick scheme!

He sounds legit... Was going to meet me too. He lives in Lancaster, CA but oddly the ad was in the Lancaster, PA Craigslist (which is where I'm located).
What does that have to do with anything? The poster said that it was stolen, not that you were going to get caught with a stolen machine. Sheesh.
So if i'm reading this correctly...you're comfortable buying stolen stuff, as long as you don't get caught?
Interesting set of ethic principles going there (or lack of them).
I'm sure I've bought stolen stuff on Craigslist before, but if I was told it was stolen, no I wouldn't buy it.
