  • Give it a miss.

    the feedback is ok, but its already been relisted as well.
    You pays your money & takes your chance !
    Sounds like a decent machine though. with all those bids I don't think you would be the final bidder.

    Added to which I do not buy from unregistered business sellers- it just encourages them.

    OP, what you must always think is 'what do I do if this goes wrong 2 months down the line?'. Unless you have a very good answer to that, dont touch it.

  • thank you so much :) not having a warranty was swaying it for me . your right not worth taking the chance .

    I just saw it being a lot cheaper than the refurbs on the the mac store.
    But paying extra and knowing it will have a warranty is peace of mind.

    Thanks again for your help and swift reply xxx Dora
