ebay can save me some, I
checked a couple of sellers on ebay and found the price I pay after all
kinds of rebates is very decent. But
was told there might be scams that people sell stolen or refurbished items
as "new, sealed in box". So
wanna ask experts here is there a way to tell if a MBP from ebay is new or
just pre-owned? can I do that by
calling Apple and telling them the computer serial number?
any comments will b |

与warranty挂钩：当一台新电脑卖出后，buyer登陆apple网站，输入serial number来
claim warranty，这样系统就知道任何一台电脑的出售时间了,而buyer也可以通过查询
这个系统来得知电脑是不是新的。就像汽车都有VIN可供查询一样.
当然apple可能不会花力气做这个事情，有点复杂化了。
