i could've just as easily posted this in the imac forum. why do used computers you buy either off of e-bay or a reseller never or almost never include the software restore discs?

For some strange reason, no matter how much you emphasise the concept of "You really need to keep these" when you sell someone a Mac, they rarely ever do.

I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

Also keeping the discs means the seller still has their copy of OS X. This is, of course, a blatant violation of the OS X licensing agreement, but that's life.

Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.

Haven't you ever looked through eBay for system software? The disks go up in separate auctions - yes, in complete violation of the software license agreement - and are sold to gullible users who think they'll be able to install the OS on their machine, to get their latest iOS device working.

This. Every time I get a second hand Mac to sell that includes the disks, they go with it. Only happens once in a blue moon though.
