[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1836178, member: 175845"] As that 2018 15" Macbook Pro was purchased from Apple's refurbished website, there is a possibility that the motherboard may have been replaced which can cause the serial number to disappear. They have a utility they can use to enter the serial number and perhaps a mistake was made when that was being done. What is the serial number that is shown on your bill of sale, and does it vary from what your Mac says??? You could also try some other sites to check the serial number such as the Chipmunk site: [url=http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html]Klantenservice: Serienummers[/url] Maybe the site you checked with has the incorrect information in their database. That would be more logical to me. I didn't realize some evaluation sites used a serial number for pricing and I'm sure mac2sell doesn't: [url=http://www.mac2sell.net/adblock.php]Mac2Sell - Argus, Evaluation, Guide to used Mac, iPad, iPhone & iPod[/url] - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
