[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1640365, member: 56379"] Ok…no problems.:) I'm pretty sure this guys in the minority (as far as sellers of Mac Pro 5,1's on eBay selling modded Mac Pro of this type). But because he's selling a lot (or at least has a lot of active auctions for them)…it may seem like there are a lot of modded Mac Pro's for sale. When in reality…only 1, 2, or 3 eBay sellers are responsible for all the modded Mac Pro auctions. Believe it or not…the folks that are refusing to give their serial numbers are probably the honest folks (folks selling their personal unmodded Mac Pro's)…who got them genuinely configured from Apple as a Mac Pro 5,1 6-core. They probably think that if someone is asking for a serial number…that the person asking is actually up to something nefarious (so they don't give you the serial number). It's actually not that common for folks to provide serial numbers (or be asked for them). A "professional" person (like this eBay guy)…is probably more than willing to give serial numbers…because he knows (and mentions in his auctions) that he's upgrading/modding Mac Pro's. Yup. He's just playing a little psychology game to drive more buyers to his auctions...rather than folks purchasing from other auctions. Hey again. I find nothing wrong with what he is doing…as long as the units are stable & durable. I would probably be more than willing to purchase one of his units (if I could save a bunch of bucks doing it)…versus purchasing a "true" Mac Pro 5,1 (6-core or 12-core) configured from Apple. But if his price is only a little less (than Apple configured units)…then I would purchase the Apple unit.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
