I'm seeing that usedsnoopy line so much in this thread that I think I'm starting to hear that Charlie Brown theme song whenever I open this thread.
I actually sent him a question about shipping from the macbook pro ebay listing (i had ordered a MBA). From the MBP listing i got a one line response: "You will get it tomorrow", then when i asked from my actual winning listing i got the same as what others are getting, "thank you, blah blah", i have a feeling it's definitely more than one person scamming...i mean working as the seller.
Not sure if i should just start a dispute now, or wait until tomorrow

Hmm wouldn't ebay say "you have a question about his Macbook Pro" and then he'd assume you bought one and give you the shipping info for those? He isn't going to check whether your lying about having bought one.
His MBPs could have shipped out earlier then the MBAs.
I'm not saying he isn't scamming, I'm just saying I don't think this points to it in any way.
Was thinking, this guy is selling a dozen MBP's that are top of the line, and selling a dozen MBA that are the cheaper model (vs the one with SSD). Makes me think that if in fact he ships the laptop, they are probably stolen as they are stacks of one type of system. If it was a scam why not state it is the SSD model and jack up the price more and make more money. He probably bought these all with fake credit cards and now offloading them on ebay.
If anyone does receive it, make sure u check online or call apple with the serial # before opening the box to make sure it's not stolen.
What I meant to say is it seemed two different people were writing the msg. I'm on my iPhone so i unfortunately can't copy paste what he wrote, but the msg seemed to be written by someone else.

Hey atleast if they're stolen you might have a better chance of getting your line-ridden Macbook Air replaced
If they are stolen and u connect to the net, be prepared to cops showing up at ur door.
yeah, but you didnt know they were stolen, and you have proof you bought it off ebay
Receiving stolen property is still a crime even if you didn't know it was stolen.
Apple can check the serial number of the computer when it requests software updates i believe... I'm assuming if a system is bought with a fake credit card, the serial number registers as stolen or whatever, then when ur mac connects to apples servers i'm pretty sure ur serial number is transferred with it.
Huh, how does that work? Let's imagine you went to an Apple Store to purchase a new computer. You're telling me if you were unlucky and got a dishonest employee who somehow managed to pass off a stolen unit as a new unit and sold it to you without your knowledge - that you'd be committing a crime?
HAd it happen to me - but I am in Vancouver Canada. I had to end up going in for an interview with a detective - lots of questions about the seller - they wanted to see if there was a connection - like maybe i KNEW the seller from my group of friends etc etc....
I had to prove i did not know the person - and did not know it was stolen...
Wasn't from a store -but from a laptop purchase through an online ad.
Cops contacted me about 1 month after i bought it.....
They told me since I didn't KNOW what was going in - they wouldn't pursue anything against me.
Man that's some scary stuff. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty. Just seems wrong to me if the law really works this way for purchased goods.
Actually, that's good. If it was your stuff that was stolen you would want/expect some kind of investigation.
Looks like it's a scam. I just received this from Ebay regarding the auction.
