Check Book Stolen Serial Number In ApplesAt first, I was very skeptical because the deal was too good to be true but then he told me the purchase date and when I entered the serial number in Apples warrant check page, it matched.At an impulse, I bought the MacBook Pro because I did not want to miss such a good deal. Now, I am worried if it might have been stolen and the poor owner might be at loss. If the Apples warranty page shows that the warranty is good until Nov 25th of Next year, is there a chance that this might have been stolen The seller kind of has good ratings though.

The computer could be one of the gifts from family or friends, could be bought in some way that was lower than the sale price, could be a prize from lottery or giveaway, or the maybe the person didnt even know the market price for it.

The only reason I am freaking out is because I did not see the receipt. Maybe it was a legit purchase or maybe he bought it for way cheap and doesnt want to share the receipt.

I have never sold or bought a MacBook still in plastic (and dont believe one ever came in a box). I think the sealing in plastic and the box means you are good. Have you set it up Did that go smoothly I dont think you have anything to worry about. At all. The issue of him selling instead of returning can be explained by the commenter above who mentioned it could have been a gift.
