Too good to be true?
 

I have seen a private advert for someone selling a hardly used 3 month old 15 inch Macbook Pro for £550.00.

Considering that these things cost around £1600 new i can't help but think it is not genuine, yes it might be that price and age but is it stolen goods??

I would very much like it but i don't want stolen goods.

I might ring the seller and quiz him or her about it.

Sounds dodgy to me. The fact that you are correct about their true value and what the seller is offering, it does seem too good to be true

If it sounds to good to be true, it often is.

Of course, we could all be cynics, and they are selling because their father died recently, and they just want to give it to a good home

lol..nooo...noooo...the laughterrrrrrrrrrrrrr....I mustn't laugh :D

This.

Be vary wary. They can sell for a lot more than that, much older ones well for more than that, so they want it gone quickly.

Perhaps, although they could have won it and just want a quick bit of cash, in fact the company one of my suppliers works for, often give out gifts to the staff including Ipads, iphones, laptops, tv's just if they hit certain targets and she just flogs any she gets cheap

Must admit I did chuckle at the gullibility of these people - although knowing some of the good folk of Huntingdon not entirely surprising ;)
