Have the oppertunity to buy one in almost new condition, but should I go for it? No serial nr as it's at a pawn shop (yeah ikr shitty) but that seems suspiciously cheap for a 2.5 ghz 19!

No serial number on the case? or as in the bios? Make sure the bios is unlocked.

Pawn shops probably only paid 400 bucks for it to tell you the truth.

Are you talking $750.00 USA money or €750 ?? which is close to $1000.00 USA. They are selling over here for a low of $1150 to a high of $1550.00 so it is a good buy if you can get into the BIOS.

He's asking 600 euros, which is according to google 747 USD.

Now comes the long wait untill I get my 19 sold, can't wait. Have to go to Amsterdam Zuid-Oost (Bijlmer) for it, but I hope that new 19 is worth the 750$.

Don't forget to make sure you can get into the BIOS. Then double check the model number to be sure it's what he says it is .

He says there's no power on password, so that's good. Not sure on the model number yet though, store policy forbids him to send serial numbers or some shit.

Whatever the case, I don't think it's stolen at all.
