Not that great considering you can get an open box from macmall.com for $1529


Yeah that's a good deal to, but I needed the super drive anyway. Plus iLife 09, sleeve, bag, and most of all confirmed no lines.

ya some people "can't see them" but im not to worried.

To the point about IP addresses, for 29.95 I can make my IP address show up anywhere in north america, canada or mexico. I thnk 59.95 gets you world wide IP's. This is not tough to do.

IP spoofers fall in the same category as script kiddies. Spoofing your IP address isn't going to hide #@$% from a legitimate agency or group of detectives who have access to the correct software and resources. If spoofing your IP address worked, everyone would be doing it, and nobody would be getting busted by the RIAA/MPAA for downloading copyrighted material illegally.

Anyways... good luck with the tracking. He's only got like a few more days or so that he can toss things up in the air, considering he said it got sent out Tuesday.

I bought and paid for another MB Pro last night on eBay. $2030 shipped 3 day select UPS shipping. I'm going to try and pay the extra $15-20 and hopefully have it delivered on Saturday.
The guy I bought from this time has 3000+ positive feedbacks on eBay, been a member since 2000, owns a store up in MA... seems legit so far. (deja vu)

bugout,

Have you even filed a dispute/claim with PayPal?
I think they opened a dispute/claim for everyone who purchased from "Ruben"... but I don't know for sure.


On a happier note, for myself, I'm expecting a MB Pro on Saturday. fingers crossed.....
