Just received mine today (silver.) It arrived with a dead battery and the chassis and trackpad appear warped, as if the battery is swelling. The device otherwise appears to be in new condition. It does have an Apple warranty, so I am taking it to the Apple Store to be checked out.
how were you able to verify it had an apple warranty?
To clarify, the device powers on. The battery was dead (out of power), not broken. It holds a charge.
Thanks for the information. I'm still dragging my feet and have been curious about those who have ordered and the condition of what they received.

My MacBook arrived today. It was running OS 14.2 and battery fully depleted. "Bulk new" is definitely the condition - the label says "new" and laptop arrived wrapped with the typical Apple parchment paper and screen protector. Definitely seems new to me. I opened it today (September 8, 2025) and Apple warranty is good until July 14, 2026, so not quite a full year. Also came with a new Apple 140W USB-C charger and Magsafe cable. At this price, I'm thrilled.
The temptations continue. I should probably bite the bullet and buy one.
I will say though, I am going to miss Windows until I get the hang of this...🥲
For what it's worth, Apple is replacing the enclosure, battery and trackpad for free under warranty. Turnaround time is 3-5 days in my area. YMMV of course.
I am curious. It sounds like Apple considers the warranty start date as the date of purchase. Was that and sort of issue with your Apple service when buying from this ebay seller on a product they have labeled "refurbished"?

I have been debating this deal vs the Micro Center deal that was a 16in M4 Max w/ 48gb ram and 1tb drive for around $2900. It's really hard to justify $900 for slightly more ram and 1-gen newer M4 Max. Am I wrong about this? Help me justify spending more money.
what did you end up deciding?
