Dodgy written all over it, so from the start…. it also has two lots of RAM listed in it. It comes with 8GB 1333MHz RAM, then the line underneath that is 16GB 1333MHz RAM. That's the previous model. All the current models use 1600MHz RAM. So they may be "new", but it's not the "new new" current iMac.
If it's too good to be true,..it probably is. Or you might receive an iMac box,..about the right weight….with ….bricks. :o) Trust me,..there is no way that much margin in the Apple gear. Hence why Apple themselves (i.e. the AppleStores) never discount. Even when places like JBHiFi or Dick Smith have a 10% off Apple sale. They're losing money. Most resellers may a lot less then 10% on an Apple product. Plus when you factor in overheads and Credit Card fees they have to pay,…they make very little on it. So no way someone could sell it, without losing a LOT of money at those sort of prices if it was brand new, never used. (unless it fell off the back of a truck) :o) But yes,..something is said about buying "local". At least you can see it before you get it. And talk to the person. Even stuff coming from overeast via eBay I'd be a bit worry of it. If something happens on the way over,..seller may say, it was fine when it left,…courier will say,..sorry our insurance doesnt cover it,..you should cover it…etc etc….. Just my 2cents worth,…. :))) Hope something there helps,…….
