Selling MP w/fresh install of 10.6, any prob with installing 10.9?

….before handing it over to the guy I'm selling to?

I know I have to put in my Apple ID info before it will d-load and install 10.9.

Will there be any issue with him switching it over to his account or anything?

Thanks

You'll have to update to 10.6.8 before you can go to 10.9, but that should be all.

I've done this a couple of times recently.
Both were friends who had a poor internet connection. I installed 10.6 and updated to 10.6.8, then upgraded to Mavericks - using my friend's AppleID.

The reason? The Mavericks install would then be linked to YOU, and may cause the user a problem with a re-download, or even updates, in the future.
Much better to avoid that by using your friend's AppleID to download free software, if the computer will belong to them.
(Yes, I have the Mavericks installer on USB, too - but decided the full download was a better option for the selling systems - just my choice)
And, both friends got systems that were already set up, and up-to-date at the time.

Yep, that's pretty much exactly what I was wondering about.

Probably better to leave the fresh 10.6.8 on there and let him deal with 10.9

Definitely. He can download 10.9 using his own Apple ID.
