Should I buy a Macbook pro that is missing parts?

[Xxcr3ep3rxX]

Hi, i'm new here and I was just wondering if i should buy a macbook pro that is missing the ram and hard drive. Im mainly wondering if i should buy this because I want to upgrade from my old white Macbook but don't have the money for a new or even used, but functional mac. I have the parts available to me to fix it but I just want your opinion on it.

If your savings on buying it is enough to justify it not having RAM and a HDD then I don't see why not.

However I would ask why those parts were taken in the first place?

I'd take the ram and a functional mac hard drive in an external usb enclosure (along with a screwdriver) and put in the parts first to ensure it worked before I bought it.

Buy the seller a latte at starbucks for his or her trouble while you install the parts.

Yeah, like Clyde says, make sure it works with ram and HD before you buy!

Must be a older mac pro, cause all the newer ones the ram is soldered to the motherboard.

As far as the hard drive use a SSD hard drive, I just put a 1TB in mine.
