Hi guys i work in a apple authorized reseller and we find at the moment we are having trouble with applecare products we have lately sold 4 of the applecare to customers. And the customers have gone to register and found that the registration numbers have already been used i am in australia and the computers serials have been registered in netherlands america and asia. for us selling it in a unopened box it is ok because we talk to apple for the customer and can get the problem sorted out. But if you purchase these applecare items on ebay or through online stores that just send you the registration number you really don't have a leg to stand on. Just be careful out there of what you purchase.

This is an incredibly nice gesture to take the time to post this to warn people.

Thank you.

I always purchase my applecare directly through Apple. You can buy it online within a certain period of time from the date of purchase. Thanks for the warning though, this is definitely something the Apple community needs to be aware of!
