Buying a macbook on eBay?
I'm getting my new macbook pretty soon (waiting for some money back from the tax office first) and it struck me that I hadn't really checked out eBay!

Has anyone ever bought a refurbished/2nd hand mac and if so, what was your experience?
I could pick up a 160gb white macbook with the 2gb ram and Superdrive for around £550 and I think compared to the £717 I'd pay for a macbook (with student discount)
It would mean I could buy it pretty much straight away and also I'd save a bit of money for perhaps a new lens or something for my camera
Just don't know if it's worth paying the extra £200 quid AND waiting ages for what's essentially the same macbook but with a warranty

Mine was a very positive experience infact I forget sometimes it was second hand

however I can't help but think I would buy new. eBay is great but for computers I feel a bit squinky about it

I'm just being silly and impatient. I'll end up waiting because I know that as soon as i buy the 2nd hand one my tax will come through and I'll regret it!

Josh,
Have you tried the refurb/clearance section of the online Apple Store (this is the UK one)?
