[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1460261, member: 56379"] $150 is a pretty good price for that iPad. As far as the registration. There is no registration process. When you buy it…it is yours. Apple tracks all devices by the serial number…not by someone's personal information. The only reason why Apple tracks by serial number is for warranty purposes. And with this being an iPad 1…it's very likely there is no Applecare warranty left (the standard warranty is 12 months)…and iPad 1's were released 2.5 years ago. As far as the "account". What you are referring to is an "iTunes" or "Mac App Store" account. This is all done online…and really has nothing to do with any specific piece of Apple hardware. Have fun with the "new to you" iPad!:) - Nick p.s. If you REALLY want to officially feel like this is your iPad…then get a receipt from the seller. Like I mentioned above…Apple only tracks ownership by the hardware serial number. And this ONLY happens…if you should need to take the iPad in for some sort of repair. Which you wouldn't in this case…because just about any repair would exceed the $150 you paid for it (and thus wouldn't be worth doing). [/QUOTE]
