[QUOTE="jaline, post: 442689, member: 34676"] You can buy it off eBay if you have done your research (in case you have problems with it get an Apple warranty as well). However, I found that the price for shipping and taxes from outside of my country to my country would be nearly the same amount as if I just bought it from the Apple store. I also wanted to upgrade my machine, which is easily done through the Apple store compared to eBay sellers (although don't buy RAM from Apple). Your seller can mark your shipment as a gift, but you still have to pay some money in taxes and if you get caught there will be a fine as well (and while most packages don't get caught, a computer is bit more obvious since it's large and heavy). If you can't risk paying that money then don't buy it from overseas. If you're certain about the seller, go ahead and purchase it. But I personally wouldn't make that large of a purchase through eBay. [/QUOTE]
