Or for $80 from Apple http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC461LL/A

And you ask me, is there anything anywhere good as new as long as you give it a good lease on life? You have no control over the life of the device you buy on eBay, if you even get it. -

They buy them from the same manufacturers that the third party sellers are buying from. The only difference is that Apple has their logo imprinted on the power adapter.

Apr 11, 2014 12:19 PM in response to frederic1943by a brody,Brand new? You call out of the box brand new? I looked at your pictures. The vast majority weren't even in their original box. Anything outside the box isn't brand new. Granted something sitting around in some warehouse for 3 years isn't exactly new either, but at least the cables have not been frayed. If they want to sell it brand new, they better be shrinkwrapped in a box made by Apple, undamaged, and refer to the Apple article that says this is for XYZ computer.
