Second Hand Or Refurb Mac Pro UK

[Macman45]

So, with the fiasco about 'elf and safety here in the UK, what IS the legal definition as far as sales go?

Are Apple allowed to sell refurbs? ( they are not new so seems fair )

SrcumpyMacs are selling them with the warranty, so I'm guesing that just new Pro's are off the menu?

I ask all this as my fiancee is selling our Windows based gaming / server rig for a MP. We've found a few good deals, and I know Scrumpy have a good reputation, just wondered if anyone in the UK had seen a refurb on the Apple store site....None there now, and the option is greyed out.

They disappeared from the reburb store some time ago. Scrumpy's seem good but a bit pricey. Your best bet is to find a used 4.1 or 5.1 machine and upgrade yourself.

I agree that scumpy are a bit more than you could perhaps bag an ebay one for but (and these are the reasons I am saving for one of theirs):

• They will sell you whatever spec you want (eg. I am going for a 3.2Ghz Quad 5.1 with 12GB Ram and no keyboard or mouse)
  
• They refurb and fully test them
  
• They give a 1 year warranty

That's enough of a reason for me to be honest. I suppose it matters what budget/spec requirements you have.
