[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 880886, member: 56379"] Couple of great points! This particular model MacBook Pro (the $700 one we're talking about)...was discontinued in Feb. 2008. The Apple Care according to the post above expires March 2011...so this sounds like someone bought a 2 year Apple Care at some point. But it's the "New In Box" part that's kind of hard to believe. Who would purchase a new MacBook Pro, buy a 2 year Apple Care plan, and let it sit for 18 months or more untouched! It's possible, but very very unlikely. What's MORE likely...is the MacBook Pro was used by the buyer...they kept the original box...and are now definitely S-T-R-E-T-C-H-I-N-G the meaning of NIB (New In Box)!!! As far as the price for this model 15" MacBook Pro being too good. It's a very good price & not impossible. I purchased a 2.33ghz 17" MacBook Pro a couple of weeks ago for $725...with a brand new $100+ battery. At $700 it's a great deal, and if it has no signs of wear & tear...since the aluminum body get really get banged up, dented, and scratched...then it would be an awesome deal! - Nick [/QUOTE]
