I'm getting a macbook for my GF and need to know how can I transfer the ownership as the previous owner of this macbook is not the original purchaser. Any advice would be appreciated much!.

Have the currently registered owner call up Apple customer support to transfer the ownership to your GF. This is important if there is any warranty left on the unit.
I sold an iMac with AppleCare to someone, and gave that person all the original packaging and receipts. Apple wouldn't repair it when the machine broke down months later because he wasn't registered as the owner. Luckily the guy was able to find me so I just called Apple and confirmed I had sold it to him. Apple immediately repaired it after that.

Yes, the problem is the current owner never registered under his name and he doesn't know neither the original purchaser info.

Without some of the specifics, such as the original purchaser information it will be difficult or near impossible to get apple to transfer the warranty.

Well then, effectively the machine doesn't have a warranty, and the price should reflect that.

Okay guys, seems it's bit cleared now cause the current owner never registered the MB and he bought it of from a closed down shop that went out of business so what do you think? I probably will give apple a call before i make any payment and regarding the price yes I'm really getting a good deal and the MB itself in pristine condition (less than 6 months old).

Don't forget to register Apple Care -- which you need to do within the first 12 months of purchase.
