My friend wants to purchase a new sealed MacBook Pro on eBay because he says he can save between $200-$300. What is Apples policy if you buy a MacBook Pro on eBay in case something goes wrong with it, do you have to buy it from an Apple authorized reseller for the warranty to be valid or will Apple honor any warranty as long as it has a genuine serial #?

As long as it is valid serial number you should be fine, but the start of apple care probably already started according to apple.

The main thing with eBay is to verify that it's not fraud: any high-ticket must-have item is targetted, mainly because buyers abandon all caution when salivating about saving money.

Hmm, odds are it's a scam
