Hi there and hello from Ireland.
This is my 1st post and i hope that i am not posting in the wrong place or breaking any rules?
If not i will tell you my predicament! I bought an MBA when they were 1st released and i was living and working in the USA. Absolutely loved it an A1237 1.8Ghz model and upon returning to the UK set my heart upon buying another. I have found through an online auction site a 2nd hand A1237 the same as my original for sale at a very good price and it appears to only have the hinge issue which i know is easily fixed as i repaired my own.
The seller is from England and i am from N. Ireland and being dubious i asked for the serial no which has been provided so as too check if the MBA is stolen or off dubious history, the seller has provided this and i contacted my local Apple shop in Belfast and the fella was very polite told me that he could not check the MBA's status and i would need to contact the Police!?
Is this correct? I was of the impression they would hold a database of all their products serial no's and could tell me straight off if the product was legit or stolen?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
David.
