I've been looking at buying a rev. c 12" powerbook (looking on ebay, apple refurb site etc.) I know that a refurb powerbook purchased through apple can obviously be enrolled in applecare, but what about a powerbook purchased on ebay (assuming it is still under the original one year warranty)? Would I just need to ask the seller the original date of sale? Would I need copies of the original sales receipt? Thanks for any help in advance!

So I would need a copy of the original receipt? Or just the original date of sale?

I think apple will have the info in the apple database. I would post in one of the apple forums though to be sure.

an apple person may answer your question for sure... also , if you are nearby an apple store drop by. (always a fun thing to do)

Apple has that info in theory. ALWAYS get a copy of the original receipt when buying a machine that's still under warranty.

All you need is the Serial Number of the machine.

Go here and enter it. (If it was registered)...

Scroll down and look on the right-hand side of the page. Enter the serial number and tick 'go'.
It will show the remaining time on the warranty.
