eBay can be a shady place to do business, there are buyers and sellers that are out there looking to pull a fast one and sell you a used MacBook that isn't exactly what they promised. But how hard is it to find a good deal on eBay exactly? What if I were to pick a completely random MacBook from eBay and buy it? Would I get scammed? Today we're going to find out!

@Luke Miani Hi!
Hello Have you tried Stadia
Luke Miani I love your content but you should probably start vetting your sponsors because they’re a reflection of you whether you like it or not. TotalAV doesn’t have a good rep if you do a little digging.
Luke Miani please give me one of your macbook please😥🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@DJ-Coma totally agree with you, its identified by my tuneup/cleanup software as bad and it gets removed whenever I see it on a customers PC
Honey how did you buy our house?
Luke: don't worry, completely random
LOL sounds like what Luke would do.
ricky v nah.He would buy an demolished house and shows us how to repair it without spending too much money!:D
@@Neptune-or4vm Sounds like a show that's been done before. LOL
Actually, that's pseudo-random.;)
He’ll search for the most effed up house listing but in the end in turns out to be the most beautiful 2 story house in a nice neighborhood with great schools for the kids
Luke: "I'm going to randomly buy a MacBook on eBay."
*Two business weeks later*
Luke: "This is a mid 2018 15 inch MacBook pro that I paid 3 crumpled up ones and a PB&J for."
Luke: I baught this MacBook pro for $10 💀😶
ROFLMAO Okay, you made me spit out my beer with this one. Well played. 🤣👍
@@ecmorgan69 Luke lies about the prices he buys his stuff for and these TH-camrs are making the prices go up
Daniel71 how can you say that when he shows the prices for what he buys - except in videos like this one. Not really sensible.
@@xoxo-pp7ru exactly
Luke, you need to gift a MacBook Pro to your roommate.
He should do a video on it
no shit, right???
@@jotohomomoto Why would you give such a nice computer to someone who has no idea what it is or what it can do and just uses it to write word documents and watch TH-cam videos?
Alex Birch I mean of course he’s not gonna want to give him a 2019 MacBook but like a new MacBook that works and boots faster then he’s would be good
@@endi3386 I dunno. just to do it. haha spread the love
“Tada, I found this guy in my house” Best way to introduce your roommate
Yes
If he has a roommate and they have a bad laptop I’m sure he has like 200 MacBooks somewhere unless he sells thrm
Shank Adams yeah “roommate”
AyeNash they shagging lol
Luke legit has a perfectly working 2019 that he doesn't use and could give his roommate but instead he lets them have a 3 year old dell or something
@@walker4541 maybe the 3 year old dell is better?
@@toxicityuser Some people just hate Macs. I'm not one of them, but I know several people who couldn't be given one to replace a PC lol
2:41 you could have just gone up 16 from the bottom but ok
Came here to say just that haha
He probably did that just to get these extra comments. It drives engagement, they say...
Yup
Yossi Kanner yea just like he purposely uses scissors to make people mad which i do t care btw if it works it works
This is the most weirdly engrossing thing I've ever watched.
I got my MacBook from eBay it is in almost perfect condition. At the price I got it, I could not find anything better anywhere. So do your research before you buy. Luke helped me make the right choice.
It can’t be a coincidence you landed the exact same model I own lmao
its probably cuz these r rly common, lots of people bought them, i also have the exact same model but only with 4 GB of RAM
My boyfriend and I got the same model as one the seen in the video but the only difference is it has 256gb. We talked the guy down to $250 and it was a steal!
Exactly my same model macbook, i fitted a 500gb Samsung SSD and it's a great working horse!
8:04 Wow that transition was good! Your videos are always high quality, keep up the good work!
Evan Walpole 😂that transition was so simple dude what’s up with you
Luke called him a simp...😂
Wow, that was a fun ride! What a clever video idea, nicely done!
You should be a good roommate and shoot the Dell and replace it with the MBA 😎
I'll be honest, I was amazed when Will came out, and Luke was able to quickly and succinctly explain what to do with the RNG and where to find it. I imagine if I were in Luke's position and had one of my roommates, or shit almost anyone I know, it would involve a lot more explaining than that before anyone got anywhere...
luke: “your a filthy SIMP”
roommate: *moves out*
Roommate:Aight I'ma head out
an Apple a day keeps the corona away..
well.. this guy really takes it seriously.
10K Subscribers without any videos
KEEP IT AT 69. IT FITS THE DOMMENT
@@pixlox I wish
I like the longer video, better content and good analysis, nice work Luke 👌🏻👍🏻
8:03 DOPE TRANSITION 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haven't seen the video yet... but hey ...let's take a look how Luke randomly got another awesome deal.
Next video: " How i ended up with a 16" MBP from a 2015 Macbook Air "
exactly what happened to me lmao
Please do another broken one we need more quarantine things to do
hey luke im obsessed with your macbook videos, hahahaha
why do i find this guy buying from ebay listings so entertaining
I agree with you about Ebay and I don't trust it. But then again I've had people try to sell me bunk PCs on Craigslist as well. I usually ask a lot of questions now to feel someone out before even meeting with them. If they seem cool then I go ahead and meet with them to make the purchase. Good video Luke and congratulations on a new MacBook Air. ;)
Here’s an even sketchier random eBay idea: do the same thing with the random pages and random listing # for the page, but instead of searching “MacBook”, use “Mac Pro”; should be all sorts of letdown!
this guy should be at a million subs like his vids are soo good!!.
This is seriously my favourite Apple channel. Please don't ever change your channel's content.
Video on 2012 mac mini in 2020. Is it a good value?
Now this is some content
Hey Luke, your videos are very interesting! I started buying and selling MacBooks until I could get to a perfect deal for me. I went to a pawn shop a few days ago where they had a 2018 MacBook Pro 15" with 2.2 ghz 6-core processor for a "whopping $900"(in Luke Miani voice) because it had a "flashing folder error". So I purchased it and reinstalled the system to factory settings. it has apple care+ till 2022. After my purchase I thought "Luke would be proud of this purchase" 😂
Thanks that is a great tip how to get good deals!😅
Hi Luke. Love your content. I can’t remember if you shared in a previous video whether you sell items on eBay. My wife wants to update from a 2012 21.5 iMac to a 27” unit. Based on your videos, I think it would be better to look for a good/great deal on a used model versus buying a new one. Any direction you can provide is deeply appreciated.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with this macbook air. I have a 2015 with 4gb of Ram and it has been a pretty solid unit.
Hey Luke, what desk are you using in this video?
@Luke Miani I put a ssd into my iMac thanks for the great tutorial videos 👍🏻
how did you figure the week this mac was made? i really want to know when mine was produced exectly
The reason why people think 2nd hand online purchase is scammy is because people tend to fall for the cheap price (what they consider a "great deal"), and more often these listings have some kind of catches, or just straight-out being a scam.
Hey Luke! why you don't recommend the MacBook Pro 15 of 2011?
Out of curiosity, what battery program are you using?
I’ve been watching so many of your videos because I’ll be a college freshman in the fall (hopefully, dang corona virus) college is not cheap 🙃 I’m glad I found your channel, I hope I find a MacBook for a good price.
That was strangly fun! Just checked for a 2015 Mb Air on the main second-hand website here in Belgium, and prices here range from €400 ($370, cheapest 4Gb) to a staggering €750 ($690) asking price. Then again, importing a cheaper Mac from the US would probably be expensive and would leave me with a US Qwerty-layout. Hmm, I'll just keep looking. Thanks for all your entertaining vids!
Macbook 13 inch 2020 is worth or heating issue sir?
been watching a lot of your videos lately, could you get a used 2011 13 inch macbook pro and review it?
Luke please sprinkle me some of the Miani Magic
Luke is the type of guy who has a closet full of apple products
i am super excited to be a new mac user i have ordered my own imac on best buy what is some tips would you give new mac users
Your ebay videos are very educational and entertaining. Any experience with Swappa?
i’ve had a couple bad experiences on ebay, but most of the time it’s great. the deals are amazing. i mostly buy electronics on the site.
Can I upgrade the storage on a MacBook air early 2014? Thanks
My 2015 MBA still has 4GB of RAM and it’s useable. It’s not great, but I’ve had lot of tabs open since working from home and it really hasn’t been a problem.
Hi Luke. I’m looking for a MacBook with a very small budget to use it for programs as photoshop or illustrator. My question is: do you think macbook 12’ 2015 is a good choice for my requests? Or I have to look for something else ? Thank you
I hear that as well. I buy used expensive camera gear. My friends say they worry about taking chances on items over $1000 or even 2k. So I can understand their concerns. I think eBay & PayPal do a good job to help make buyer comfortable now days
What did you use to find out the date the MacBook was manufactured?
What do you do with all them Apple equipment. Resell?
I have a 2011 iMac and I have been wanting to sell it on eBay any advice on that? Shipping details? I guess I’m nervous for that. I added memory to it and it runs great!
6:35 time shift? Seems a lot brighter outside 😅
I know this is a weird place to ask. But I have a windows 8.1 vm and would like ideas to do with it during lock down!
I don't know how he find those MacBook, I try people try to see new one on marked up price, Any tips and recommend reseler?
What is a good price range for a 2015 MacBook Pro?
Does the macbook air 2020 good?
Pls answer I might buy one a week later
Where do you buy your shirts?
Can you make a video about downgrading from ios 13 to ios 12 or any lower version? Thank you!
I am looking to put a 2010 matte high res display on my mid 2012 MacBook Pro 15 in. Will that work or is the display not compatible?
i was going to ask how you’re doing this... i just went on to check out some 27in iMacs and all the prices skyrocketed recently 😔.
hello, how are you, I have been watching your channel for a long time, I am a fan of apple products and their ecosystem, I consider them very reliable and rarely give me problems, however recently I bought a mac book pro retina mid 2014 for my daughter at At first everything worked well, but after a while the sound of the speakers was distorted, it sounds horrible, and I could not repair it, so much is the problem that I am already thinking of taking it to the apple store, do you have any recommendations, something that I can do or try before thanks
A Mac a day keeps luke Miani at bay
Any suggestions on buying from Groupon?
did you turn off email notifications for ebay?
What's a fair price for my 2012 late Retina Macbook pro i5 128ssd?
where do you buy ssd from?
Do you sell them afterwards?
I just got the Total AV now thank you for the 80% off Luke! Great video as always!
Hey Luke, I have a question for you. What price should I sell my nearly pristine Early 2015 MacBook Pro RETINA 13 inch 3.1 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7 16GB RAM 128GB SSD
Is the 2017 MacBook Pro still good in 2020
Can someone please recommend if i should get the Air or Pro. I need something that isnt too over the top, mostly for heavy internet browsing/minor web development. On occasion hooking up to a 4k TV. The Air lineup seems ok? Looking for a second hand one.
I HAD A DELL BEEP IN THE MIDDLE OF MATH CLASS! Lmao it freaked everyone out.
Even with the new Dell (non-touch) Latitude 3190 laptops that the local school district where I live still continue to have issues, even down to BSODs and Recovery messages.
is 1k a good price for a mid 2015, 15 inch mac book pro with the dual graphics? It's got 16gb and a 512gb storage as well.
um...where did you get that table from?!
how can i remove a stripped philip head screw inside an 2012 macbook? please suggest something how to remove it
I have a question. A few months back I bought an early 2015 Macbook Air 2.2GHz Dual-Core i7 8gb of ram and 265gb SSD for £300 ($369 ish) Did I get a good deal on mine?
When you took it out of the box you said you weren't sure what year it was. You can narrow it down tho. On the bottom they used a thicker font for the serial etc. stuff there pre-2015. 2015 uses a thinner font that aligns with when they thinned the OS fonts. (as long as the bottom plate isn't a replacement)
Next video, Luke sends a Macbook Pro to a teenager in need in Nigeria ❤️
hi i have a 2010 macbook pro but it has a little problem i could not manage to get it to run on ios so i had to load windows 7 then downloaded boot camp and then windows 10 im wondering if you would like to have a look at
Luke Miani: Do you sell the MacBooks you fix?
What do you do with the machines when you are done? Do you have an outlet - that might ship to the UK?
He Ebay's them in, and Ebay's them out.
That’s preaching darn good for that air.
Everytime you didn’t like the listing you called it a test run haha.
I'm starting to think that every ridiculously high priced MacBook on eBay are from people trying to get lucky with Luke Miani randomly buying it.
Never clicked a video this fast
IKR
The way he said afraid hahaha
I think that's a steal! I bought a 2017 air brand new for $800 2 years ago!
Using that stimulus check wisely.
When your channel is about Appels products, but when you are picking a random number you don’t use Siri.
Ay that’s my MacBook. Saving up for a 16 inch MacBook Pro.
Will looks like Lucas Till somewhat.
Me: search MacBook on eBay
Luke: upload this video
I love your channel, can you please do a MacBook Air comparison from the first to the 2020 model?
Thanks!
Btw shout-out if you do
Nicely done. I'm a big fan of "last year's tech" because you get great stuff for a big reduction in price. I often sell my old mac on ebay and buy a refurbished mac from apple for a total cost of 35% to upgrade. And Apple products retain both their value and their technical 'integrity'. I often recommend to my friends that they buy old macs on ebay - but they're afraid. This video helps to show that both good values and good products are available. Great video.
You should do a video where your roommate picks macbook for you to buy and then check if he was scammed
