[QUOTE="Bits4Brains, post: 1836112, member: 401362"] I purchased a 2018 15" Macbook pro last year from Apple's refurbished website. I was checking the other day what the trade in value would be using Apple's trade in website url. When I punch in my Serial number it comes back with a macbook pro Mid 2010 ! Also the HD capacity and CPU are wrong. When I called Apple, they acted very confused and surprised when they punched in my serial, getting the same results as I. I was on the phone over an hour with them while they tried to sort it out. The Tech department came back with " it looks correct on our end" but the sales support rep was getting the same results as I was. They told me a case would be opened and to check the website again, a day later. They could not give me a case number, nor could they give me any kind of call confirmation, etc. Here it is almost a week later and the Serial number results have not changed. Now, if I check this Serial on third party sites, it seems to show the correct 2018 Macbook pro that I have. However, I feel like Apple is being a bit shady about it all. Very frustrating! Has anyone else ever experienced this? It seems like Apple is recycling serial numbers or at least they did with mine. John [/QUOTE]
