All equipment we process:
What is the condition of the products?The cosmetic condition of each model is noted in the listing. Due to the volume of equipment that is processed through our facility and how quickly our inventory changes, we are simply unable to take photos of each individual unit. Because customers cannot see the actual unit being purchased, we offer a hassle-free return policy. Within seven (7) days of delivery, if you are unsatisfied with your purchase for any reason, it may be returned for a refund.
Below are our definitions of the cosmetic conditions: Good: Normal wear for its age not affecting operation. (e.g. a small scratch or dent) Excellent: Very minimal wear for its age. Mint: No wear, like new condition. New - Open Box: Mint condition including all original items from Apple. Fair: Higher wear for its age and cosmetic or operational defect(s) noted in the item's description. Fair Condition items are only available in the Clearance.

Models we have in high quantity can also be found in the Volume Buyers section at a discount, with a minimum purchase of five (5) units.

Desktops ship with a power cord. A keyboard and mouse can be added from the options in the listing. All computers ship with the operating system (OS) noted in the listing installed. No OS discs or flash installers are included as we often do not receive these when purchasing equipment to provide when reselling. We encourage you to update to the newest OS that the Mac is compatible with which can downloaded via the Mac App Store. The update is free and doing so will allow the OS to be reinstalled without a disc, should the need arise in the future.

How do I report a problem with my purchase?Click here to start a Support Ticket. Please note, while we are able to troubleshoot and diagnose hardware issues, we cannot provide software support. For software help, we recommend contacting the developer of the software.
Are AppleCare Warranties transferable?Apple only allows an AppleCare Warranty to be transferred once. As we are not the original purchaser of the equipment, we cannot confirm if the AppleCare Warranty has already been transferred in the past and we do not transfer it to us at the time of purchase. To maintain the privacy of our sellers, we cannot provide you the necessary information to complete the transfer. The AppleCare warranty is linked to the serial number of the unit and is valid for hardware repairs. In the rare event of a hardware failure, you can have the unit serviced by your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider. AppleCare phone support is usually not available on items we represent having remaining AppleCare Warranty.
Can I update to the newest operating system?Though a majority are, not all models we sell are compatible with the newest operating system (OS). Please visit Apple's How to Upgrade page for more information. We encourage you to update to the latest OS that the Mac is compatible with via the Mac App Store. The update is free and doing so will allow the OS to be reinstalled without a disc, should the need arise in the future.
If the Mac is not compatible with the newest OS, it may still be compatible with a newer OS than is currently installed. Please visit Apple's OS X Lion page for more information. What are some common troubleshooting steps?Apple has a wealth of knowledge on their Support Pages. There are How-To articles and videos, manuals, basic troubleshooting steps, discussion boards, and downloads. We recommend looking there first. Performing a quick web search will often lead there.
If you are unable to find a solution to a specific issue, or identify the cause of the issue, please visit Apple's Isolating Issues in Mac OS X page for more information.
