Im getting a used model, need to double check what's in the box, to make sure the seller didnt left anything. And what's the proof I need for warranty claims? purchase receipt / warranty cert?

By heart:

1 power supply w/ cable and exchangeable plug (for wallwarting)
DVI-VGA converter (for connecting analouge monitor)
Modem cable
SVHS-FBAS converter cable
2 DVDs for system recovery and installation
Manuals (Apple PoBo Introduction, Panther, Bluetooth, ...??)
Warrantycard (does that differ in the US?)
Sheets of protective foam (for inbetween LCD and KBD)
Lots of plastic sleeves etc. for protection.

Hope that's all and HTH a bit, :-) Michael.

Mine had a Apple logo sticker in there too plus a green card that's supposed to be good for a discount on my next OS purchase ...

Ah - good point! Of course there was this logo sticker ;-)

I can't remember of such a green card, I'll check when I'm back home.

I love that sticker, I wish I had more, that's why it's the first I noticed was missing on your list
As far as I know OS should install onto other Mac's from these cd's ... but I'm not 100 % sure about that.

Yes it does. It's not coded to work on one machine only.

Depending on where the ebay seller purchased it, Apple *might* have an accurate purchase date on file. You should get a copy of the original receipt from the seller if at all possible. If you don't, you could lose out on at least part of your warranty period.

If the seller has Applecare (Protection Plan, not the standard 1 yr warranty) on the PB, they need to send a letter to Apple detailing the transfer. The address should be in the Applecare Terms & Conditions.

Maybe you could talk to Apple to find out?
