[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1591525, member: 56379"] If this is a "real deal"…and not a rip-off…you better act quickly before someone else gets it. If you take too long…you may find that it's already been sold. When & if you go to look at it...double check the specs. There have actually been 3-4 different 15" MacBook Pro's since "Early 2011" with similar specs (2.3ghz quad-core i7 cpu). You never know…even if the seller said they bought it in Feb….showed you that photo of the specs…etc. With the asking price $1200 below the current new Apple selling price…the seller could be trying to pass off an older MacBook Pro as a newer model. I also wanted to mention. I was double checking the current MacBook Pro's Apple is selling. There are two different 15" MacBook Pro models currently available. One has just integrated graphics (Iris Pro)…and the other model has dual graphics (Iris Pro and NVIDIA GT 750M). The dual graphics model is $2599…the "single" graphics is $2099. So…if this is the single graphics model this person is selling…then the asking price of $1400 (while still a great deal)…isn't quite as "wild" of a price compared to the $2599 dual graphics model. As far as what to look for in regards to a "Legit" deal. Hard to say…hard to tell. To the best of my knowledge…there's no real way to check if a computer is stolen or not. Sometimes if the seller is just selling the laptop (no power adapter or anything else)…this can sometimes be a red flag. But if the seller has everything (power adapter, original box, etc.)…then I wouldn't have any concerns. It's just hard to tell the difference between a stolen & non-stolen Apple computer. Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
