Condition? Why being sold?

Is Pro Care attached to individual products?
I thought it was sold to individual PEOPLE.

Why 3 days to ship out?

Condition is brand new in box.
Being sold because thats what I bought them for (got a good deal, gift cards plus friend works there and is a manager)

Pro care is attached to 3 machines. You will get the membership number which is all you reall need

shipping in 3 days to avoid someone using a hijacked/stolen paypal account to pay.

I just checked each one of the serial numbers on the boxes in the images... AppleCare til May 2011. However, technically speaking ProCare is a membership, and can be used on up to 5 machines for that one person... so, your mileage may vary in trying to get service under ProCare as they may require the actual ProCare member to be present.

You musta got a really "good deal." I don't think anyone isn't going to be a little suspicious.... so like chippervw said... if you've got references... please share.

And buyers beware... get a phone number or something... you can't ever be too careful... (well, you probably can... but you know what I mean)

Anyone else notice a total lack of response to any question so far?
No Ref's
Price is vague
Etc.

Seems risky to me.

what do you mean lack of response to questions.

I mean do i really need to explain that im not selling 3 macbook pros that retail for 2700 for 2500 all together. The serials have been confirmed and ive said i was accept escrow.com

I mean please tell me how this is fishy. Ive PM the people who asked and really i dont have any references as this was a one time purchase to sell the items. Thats when I decided i would also offer escrow.com

Im just wondering how an escrow.com transaction would be risky.

Well
Pretty much every single fact you now share were questions here that went unanswered.
Not too difficult to grasp?
If you want to do "whatever I can to make any buyers more at ease" then that goes a long way towards doing just that.

As for Escrow.com,I have no direct experience with it but it sounds like an interesting way to do a deal.
