That's a good idea.


If you are buying a previously owned MacBook Pro, the same caveats apply to it as anything on the used market.


There are some reputable sellers of used Macs at good prices, but the overwhelming majority of them don't prepare them properly for sale, leaving the buyer frustrated, and sometimes out of money, with no recourse.


Dealing in used Macs is best left to very experienced Mac users, for a number of reasons.

If you want to save a few dollars, shop Apple's Refurbished and Clearance page. They will be indistinguishable from new.
