[QUOTE="Stick_Man, post: 1646581, member: 346294"] I know that. Those are 2 autonomous facts. 1. It's fast 2. It has 4-8gb ram which is not indicative of an old obsolete machine. I don't know that for sure. But at the same time would a brick and mortar store really be selling a stolen computer or would it be more than likely the other way? Someone on craigslist doing that? And incidentally what I meant by "dubious" is someone selling you a piece of junk basically that isn't going to be anywhere near as good as the CL ad, or buying sight unseen on ebay. You have no recourse with most used buying methods. Not to mention individual sellers for the most part tend to overlook flaws in things they are selling because of an emotional attachment to thing they are selling. A brick and mortar has no such issues, and is more than likely only buying and selling quality merchandise. I'm yet to know how you are gauging prices. How do you price a used a laptop except ebay or craigslist? Here's another thing that it has is a warranty. Where are you going to find that on a used computer? Again I understand you think it's over-priced but, how are you ascertaining prices? Keep looking you say but where? Apple sells "refurbished computers" for double that...the only other really reliable place to get a used one as far as I know. Maybe you can tell me where [/QUOTE]
