Why is using my "Powermac G5" different...

[MacCubed]

Why is used always cheaper than used?

Wha?

Hmm. I want to buy it new.

Pardon?

You can't have it new. Apple doesn't make them new.

I see. Shame it has to be second hand.

Why are you anti-second hand? You do understand that the second hand is CHEAPER and a thriving business online? Also, you do know that most of these computers you are looking to buy are no longer being made on the Chinese labor lines, nor a being sold in any store (unless they are used/second hand).

Unfortunately the passage of time has you screwed there. I'd like a new 1987 VW Golf GTI 16V, unfortunately VW stopped producing them new back in 1987 so I'm s**t out of luck.

Here's a clue. When they stop producing products you can't buy them new any longer from the manufacturer.

It is nearly impossible to get older computers new, and when they do come up, people charge a crap ton of money. Just avoid buying old computers new unless you are a collector. The collectors leave them in the box so they are worth more

You don't get the box and one year Apple warranty.

No sh*t, Sherlock... If you want those amenities, then buy a new machine!

In the year they are produced.

Any new computer comes with the warranty, it lasts ONE YEAR AFTER IT IS PURCHASED!

 

[MagicBoy]

Woah. Really?

He seems to be able to time travel.

You don't get the box and one year Apple warranty if you buy 2nd hand.

Yes. Repeating it doesn't make it any less true?

As I said the apple warranty lasts from ONE YEAR OF THE PURCHSE DATE

 

[Gamer9430]

And as I said, NO FLIPPIN SH*T SHERLOCK!

You pay $150-200 for a 9-year-old used Mac Pro, you don't the box and warranty. You pay $3,000 for a new Mac Pro, you do get the box and warranty. Feel free to take your pick of the two options

The date is that four figure number after the day and month.
