I was looking for an apple laptop on ebay or craigslist for college.
I was wondering if I should buy used or if I should just get it new. Horror stories or stories of fantastic deals are welcome!

Only under certain circumstances….such as a top-of-the-line model, which would only have been purchased by an enthusiast, such as an Alienware, Clevo, or the like.
You can pretty much trust that anybody with the knowledge and buying power to configure / build / purchase one of these might surely look after it.
Oh, and they might have some sort of transferable warranty too.
My 2c…
I bought a scratch/dent/refurbished Dell off of their site. Choose from a list of specifications. No one else has ever booted it up before I did and I got a one year warantee. Was a good choice.
Maybe at like a Dell site or something but deffinetly not eBay because usually there’s like virus or there selling it because it’s old or slow.
on craigslit yes, why, because you dealing local, so you can contact the person, see and test the laptop before buying it.
I wouldn’t trust it. I bought mine’s new.
No, I would not buy a used one online. I would try a local computer store that sells used laptops. I would ask lots of questions even then, before buying one.
I have so yeah… just do your research… try to use a site like ebay where you can obtain info./history about whether the seller is reliable…
on eBay or Amazon its ok but other places r mostly rip offs
buying used electronics from private parties is hit-or-miss, you could check the refurbished models from the apple website if youre looking for a cheaper solution.
I wouldn’t buy ANYTHING that I didn’t see and try in person. Buy a new one – they come with a warranty.
Yes , u can trust buying a laptop on-line . I bought twice and I had no problem
