Personaly i believe you should only buy from a seller with good positive feedaback and reviews. If they have none of that then it has a high chance of being a scam.:evil:

Haha, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. The thing is about eBay, you're always screwed. I've had bad experiences, as Derek said, check the feedback and reviews, even though they really make no difference.

If you're on a tight budget don't buy a Mac. The baseline models are utter garbage.
