[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1640367, member: 56379"] By the way. I'm not faulting you for wanting to be careful (with the serial number requests from sellers). When you're spending this kind of money you should do whatever makes you feel best/safest!:) What I am saying is…asking "novice" sellers of computers for their computers serial number is probably "freaking them out"!:( This is not a very common thing to be asked for. They probably think that this info is as personal as being asked for their drivers license number, SSN, credit card number, etc….from a complete stranger. Thus they are reluctant to give it. If you swap a few emails with them…and establish a sort of relationship with them (and explain why you want the serial number). Then they may be more willing to give it.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
