How reliable is the seller?
Excellent seller and shipping is very fast. I would consider them one of the premier Mac sellers on eBay. Paid $700 for a 16" Macbook Pro with 16GB RAM and 1 TB SSD. Wonderful machine with 89% battery life.

Be careful when you order from eBay. If the seller uses USPS and USPS tracking shows delivered, no matter where the item was dropped off, eBay considers the order is complete. Last year one of my orders was delivered to some random place and I lost both my eBay case and PayPal case. Luckily credit card dispute got my money back (~$300)

Quote from PurpleScene795 :
I sold my M1 Pro 16" 16gb 512SSD on FB marketplace about 3 weeks ago for $700. (I bought it for $550) I receieved full asking price - did not negotiate and it took about 5 days to sell. Mine was is close to mint condition/pristine except a few minor scuffs in various places on the outer shell. 96% battery health with original box, magsafe cable, charger, manuals etc. I quickly sold my 2017 15" MPB for $1200 (bought for $450 spring 2019) December 2020 right after the M1 Air and 13" M1 Pro were released. it was coming up on 4 years old and Apple laid out the future for their PC's that M-series chips were the future and there weren't many downsides.Apple devices hold their value, they're premium products and sell for premium prices. Even if they're used and a few years old they still continue to sell for a premium.iPhones still sell for significantly higher prices than Samsung Galaxy's and Pixels. 2 year old IP 15 Pro Max is around $550-$650 depending on condition and storage Gb. If you buy used at a good price, you'll rarely lose much - if any money. I've actually made profits on buying Apple products used and selling used years after I've owned them. Just have to be patient and wait for the right desperate seller that needs quick $ and swoop in and get an excellent deal.
Just checked my purchase history the 2017 15inch was usually sells 5-600 how could you get 1200 from it?

I have an 16" M2Pro with 16GB and it's still a stud. I bet with 32GB, even an M1Pro still hauls ass.

Crazy market, that a laptop from 2021 is still considered a deal at almost $800.
It's about half ram/ssd/hdd prices being nuts and half the M-series being really good.

Unfortunately, the title is incorrect. It's not "refurb", it's used. This is a trend with these ebay resellers.

As in, garage sale used. If a place says "refurbished", but doesn't explicitly say what they've done -- then all they've performed is a power test, a wipe down of the casing, and a system reset.

No components have been replaced, no batteries refreshed, etc. In other words, nothing has been actually refurbished.

Descriptors such as "Very Good" or "Excellent" or "Open Box" are meaningless and vague enough to suggest pretty much anything. Don't be surprised if they sneak in machines that really ought to be in a lower tier. Assume any accessories (power supply, cabling, etc) are third-party or counterfeit.

You might get a system that's a corporate lease that's been babied on a desk for 3-4 years....or a beat-up road warrior laptop. Sight unseen. Good luck.

----

And this is a 5 year old machine. Zero guarantee of any future updates -- at any point, the current one could be the last one. It doesn't matter what Apple has done "in the past" regarding updates, it only matters what benefits their bottom line today. They're under no legal obligation to give you a heads up or warning that future updates are going to be limited.

And if I remember correctly, a base M4 chip could easily overpower a M1 Max in nearly every real world test & artificial benchmark. And we're up to the M5, which is on average 20% faster. And this isn't a Max, it's a lesser "Pro" chip.

the reason 32gb holds value is because it can run local ai models.

the reason m1 laptops still have massive value now is because of apple's unified ram. an m1 max has a bandwidth of 400gb/s. apple gated off chip levels and even an m5 right now does not have 400gb/s. it's still like 200 or osmething. so even an m5 can not beat an m1 max for ai inference.
