Forgot to mention this: Even though I was sent a late 2013 MacBook Pro when the listing clearly showed an older Unibody- the claim that their laptops are 'upgraded to current year' or any other such verbiage are still false advertising
Urgh, I hate when they say "upgraded to current year standards" and crap like that. It's a Core2 Duo, upgrading it from 2GB to 4GB of RAM and replacing the HDD with a generic 256GB SSD isn't "upgraded to current year". Another thing they do is "Includes Office 20xx FREE if you ask on purchase" as most people will forget or not know how to ask. And I assume they install it and don't give you the disc as to screw you on factory reset.
Dude same happened to me, well I wasn’t trying to get scammed, I got a MacBook Pro mid 2012, it had shitty specs, I was planning on upgrading, when I got it it was already maxed out with a Samsung 500gb ssd, and 16GB ram. And the i5 as advertised.
No it's because he's a UA-camr and if he uses his actual eBay account or puts his name in the shipping or billing info they instantly send him something good so he will tell people to buy from them
Tip for future unboxings: Cut the tape on both sides of the box. This prevents the "vacuum seal" effect you probably experienced-unless the inner box was too big in the first place, lol.
There was an old lady at the Apple store who was talking to me about buying one as I was purchasing an iPad, they showed me the listing and I showed them a good seller, and steered them away from one of those scams. One less customer scammed!
I love these eBay scam videos. This reminds me of that show “how to catch a predator” hahaha. Can’t wait to see what happens! Thanks for this series of videos. Love the channel!
What an interesting development.. can't wait to see how it all plays out. The idea that they possibly recognized that it was you and played the old switcharoo is a very valid one, so seeing what happens if someone else places an order for the same kind of machine will certainly be incredibly telling.
Lee Stewart not to be mean or offend you, but I work at a premium reseller in the netherlands and we still ( a month ago) used to sell the ipad 6th gen, which actually was/is pretty affordable, especially when you are 100% sure it is new and acurate.. in the Netherlands the prices are even more expensive and especially our store.. and im certain other electronic store still sell the 5th gen, must even be better..
Happened to me too, ordered a mid 2012 non retina model as I knew it could be upgraded to the hilt. Ebay seller had run out, and offered me a mint condition 2014 macbook pro with same specs except i5 instead of i7. They even offered to double the SSD storage from 256 to 512. At no additional cost. So I said yes. What rocked up was a 2014 retina model, 1Tb SSD, 16GB ram and an i7 cpu. 18 cycles on the battery too. Let them know of their mistake in case they had accidentally sent me the wrong computer and they said "not to worry, you've probably gone through the process of getting it all set up, enjoy your new computer". Not all "shonky" looking ebay ads are shonky. Most are, but not all. A year later I got more than what I paid for the computer to upgrade to the latest touchbar model. Of course I advertised it for exactly what it was! :)
seeing as he's talked about the seller before I guess, they may have got wind of him or his name, connected the dots and decided to screw with him, just because he's not some million sub popular youtuber doesn't mean he can't be on a companies radar for being a nuisance.
I sell on ebay. I know what happened. They accidentally switched shipping labels on 2 separate purchases/pkgs. I'm like 99% sure, the person that purchased that laptop, received the one that you paid for. It's risky to send each customer a shipping label, and ask them to ship to each other (hope u still have good packaging, & 1 customer could keep both, and seller would have to refund one). They might consider the cost of 4 labels vs price difference between the 2 items. Might refund other customer the difference, or exchange it, or refund after return.
If you’re insinuating that they know who you are and what you’re trying to prove by buying these MacBooks, and that’s why they’re giving you better laptops than listed, then you should just keep buying them under your name and ruin their profit margins. I’m sure you’re viewers would buy them back haha.
I'm guessing it was just a shipping mistake. They probably have a lot of these machines sitting around and accidentally mixed it up. Or, they saw your name on the shipping label and decided to "upgrade" you.
4:57 that's a very good looking watch, Luke. Personally, I don't like smartwatches. They will only add to landfills over time, while a good traditional watch will last decades, and never stop doing what's supposed to.
Before you PURCHASE, you should contact the Buyer and point out the descepancy and maybe he or she will lower the price and correct the listing. If you proceed with the purchase knowing about the decrepency, you are acually scamming the seller. Many buyers do that. They know what they are buying , yet they proceed and hope to get something for nothing on a technicality. Like using the description a leverage.
if that is the case they actually proved that the listings they put up are scams. if they claim that there's nothing wrong with the listings there should be no need to send a better macbook = caught scamming
@@andreasryden334a good scam where you get more than you paid for, meaning the customer is scamming them by purposely keeping the product when they should send it back for a refund or the correct item.
“Man, I want to get scammed out of all of my money today.” “Hmmm, yes a shady deal.” *you purchase the deal. “Well, shit looks like I just got 1 million dollars.”
When you buy a used device, you always want to redo the thermal paste. Sometimes the used paste is such low quality that it's already dry when you buy it sealed, especially the paste Apple uses, the driest thermal paste ever is definitely in MacBooks because of course Apple tries to spend the least amount of money possible.
Why can't I be scammed like that?!?! I don't have the money to "test" a listing like that, and I'm too paranoid to take chances like you did.. Glad it worked out well for you :-)
*Everyone in the comments:* "OMG they knew it was you & sent you a great upgrade!!" *Me:* Looks like they just sent you the wrong product bundle to me, but ok... 🤔
This would never happen to a regular guy like me. I'm not accusing Luke of doing anything underhanded here but I've seen too many videos like this one. A guy buys what's supposed to be terrible or junk and ends up getting something great. And now I'm just noticing that this video is 4 years old but it doesn't change my mind.
I just bought a MBP and ordered a mid 2012 15" i7 quad core, ended up with a 15" Retina 8GB 256SSD. I paid $445 and the only problem is that I can't upgrade the ram and the battery needs replacement. I'm trying to get them to replace the battery before my 30 days refund is up, otherwise I think I got a great deal.
Talks about how specs are the defining factor in purchasing a laptop and then proceeds to purchase a Macbook? Overpay by 50% when purchasing directly from apple OK, but overpay by 50% when purchasing from an ebay seller not OK?
I think the company knows who you are and deliberately sent you something superior to what you ordered. Will be interesting to see if your scam of the scam works and you get the overpriced junk mailed to your friend.
“Osx-2015” is the most annoying thing when shopping for a used 2015 Mac because usually it’s a old Mac that’s so old that El Capitan is the most recent version that will run
This isn't so much a scam/fake macbook as it is a "quick fix" approach to someone who is not technologically savvy. They see Apple sell laptops for $2000, so by reasoning, they realize a $500 macbook must be a good price. Even though you probably get a first gen i7 2009 macbook pro with 256gb no name chinese ssd and patched mac os.
Luke, I’ve been in the market for a new Mac. I have the old late 2011Mac Book Pro 15 inch, it was my translation to Mac and have had nothing but problems with it. From day 1 BestBuy upgraded it (because I wanted the best, fastest)....with sticks which voided it’s warranty from Apple. After much stress I had to pay the Apple store to swap them back. and they partitioned my hard drive. It’s never worked after hours of trying to do the simplest things I just gave up. As I’ve been shopping, I discovered OWC and bought the recommended stuff to upgrade it. I have to install them myself, the speed was easy a simple swap but now comes the new SSD. I do not want to bring old problems to the new drive but need to clone...? The old drive. So I’ve tried to download everything from the cloud and put it into an external hard drive. But it says my computer does not have enough space to do that. I have all my files on the external hard drive at least I think...so just don’t understand what is going wrong. Anyway I’m so over it ....Until I found your channel which has given me hope but has also shown confirmed that I bought the worst model ...hahahaha figures. Anyway I had a new 16 in the cart until I watched your channel and now considering buying an old 2015 with upgrades $1800. But you talk fast and I’m not sure because I also want an iMac but I’m traveling in my RV for a few years but also have to connect the MacBook to a tv to see it.. Can you help a sista out? I’ll buy and old one and the upgrades if you can give me a site.. I’m Leary of ebay... help 20+ years ago I was excited and even swapped plus, switched wires etc to connect my tvs to my computer and old 686 but now the big $ Mac made me lose interest in doing anything on a computer. Im excited to see your channel. I’m retired on disability now so fronting the big bucks I just cannot do it so my decisions are important. Do you recommend a site for a system and parts? Which system do you recommend... please
I have a question, Ebay is good for ordering macbook? Because I'm very scared maybe my money will be scam 😔 I want to buy Macbook Pro 2015 😍 Or Macbook Air 2015. Thank you for helping me
I bought a series of no-name Chinese spy watches from eBay & one from a major mall. They all fell to pieces after a few months no matter how careful I was. The manual English was a joke. The did work out of the box so at least the sale went through. The scary thing was I found the same junk for $50 or $500 with many exterior design iterations -- for those who think you get what you pay for -- and for those who think if you can get it, you're worth it. I say stick to known brand names from reputable sellers. Beware on eBay.
make a video of you using it (show condition and that it works) and then continue filming while you box it up. buy cheap usb stick, put the video on it and include it securely taped to the outside of the box
Not sure if this was posted already but it looks like the SSD used is a M.2 with a adapter. Correct me if I'm wrong though... But getting a Retina for that price would make anyone wonder too! Hehe
i got a 2017 MacBook Pro after my 2015 went under... I think I got a good deal. 1TB SSD, dual video cards, 3.1GHZ processor. basically the most maxed out a 2017 MacBook Pro can get according to apple's website and spec page. I paid 400 under $2000. Good deal?
I bet they mixed up shipping labels. Feel bad for the buyer who paid almost $1,000 for a Retina MacBook Pro and received a 2008-2012 MacBook Pro, probably with a Core2 Duo.

Luke Miani can I buy it from you
Upgraded to current year could mean it has the latest MacOS on it
Urgh, I hate when they say "upgraded to current year standards" and crap like that.
It's a Core2 Duo, upgrading it from 2GB to 4GB of RAM and replacing the HDD with a generic 256GB SSD isn't "upgraded to current year".

You could buy more of them and sell it to us. That would be fun

Pablo why would he care about reviews if he’s scamming people?

Reminds me of Escobar a little bit. They tried to send MKBHD the Escobar 11 Pro in hopes that he would tell people to buy from them.

It's like 1-20% scam rate and 40% rewarding "business" with ebay. The rest is "tired and unpaid people who are working anyway."
I had the same reaction when you discovered it was actually a 1TB SSD 😂
They were probably like "oh crap, Luke Miani, I've seen this guy... send him a Retina, we can afford it with all the scam money we made."
I bought a second hand iPad Air 2 in Amazon for my daughter and I got a 10.5 inch IPad Pro, now she has a better IPad that mine

honey starr some eBay sellers check if their buyers have a UA-cam or Instagram account so they can promote their account
honey starr I think it was just an accident. I bet when the other laptop arrives at his friends house it will be the scam laptop tho
You wouldn't know
*Trying to teach people not to buy from scammers, but ends up with an actually decent deal* OoO
What we learned from this video:
*Don't believe everything you don't see*
I sell on ebay. I know what happened.
They accidentally switched shipping labels on 2 separate purchases/pkgs.
I'm like 99% sure, the person that purchased that laptop, received the one that you paid for.

I hate these laptops. I tried looking for a 2018 mbp 15 and I was spammed with old MacBooks with just 2018 in the title.
Keep it up! I love the new studio, and the new videos. Great to know you've got a sponsor on the channel!
if the scammers recognized his name... what if i used his name and got a better macbook than advertised... identity fraud 🤩
I’m gonna use a popular persons name and stuff and hopefully get better items lopp
I mean the seller has a 99.8% positive feedback 1:03. If he wanted to get scammed he should have gone with a seller with a bad rating or no rating.
If you’re insinuating that they know who you are and what you’re trying to prove by buying these MacBooks, and that’s why they’re giving you better laptops than listed, then you should just keep buying them under your name and ruin their profit margins.

Ordering under another name/address was a good idea. This should be interesting.
I'm guessing it was just a shipping mistake. They probably have a lot of these machines sitting around and accidentally mixed it up.
Or, they saw your name on the shipping label and decided to "upgrade" you.
Definitely calling BS on this. Very acted out. Oh the irony of false advertisement
Hunter Caughlin no the seller just saw his name and didn’t want to get exposed
Soin Solih bro he ain’t that big of a youtuber. I’ve been watching tech reviews for forever and literally just found out who he was.

Overpay by 50% when purchasing directly from apple OK, but overpay by 50% when purchasing from an ebay seller not OK?

I bought that same DVD player on Amazon. 15$ and it's falsly advertised (it said USB 3.0, however it only has a USB 2.0 Controller inside)
It doesn't matter if it's a DVD since DVD's are slower than any USB 2.0 HDD or SSD.
Either that or these listings are what I call a 'lottery listing'.
Taking bets that the seller found out about his channel and sent him a "good" product so that it becomes a good review and good advertisement.
I think the seller meant to say the macbook got upgraded to the current model by apple for free. In a replacement program, they do that sometimes.
guilt seller packaging: when they add all those extra items
This isn't so much a scam/fake macbook as it is a "quick fix" approach to someone who is not technologically savvy.

I'm pretty sure most of these seller just copy and past titles and don't even check the year of the item they are selling.
Do you have advice for sellers?
I worry about people like breaking the device and saying it arrived like that.
make a video of you using it (show condition and that it works) and then continue filming while you box it up. buy cheap usb stick, put the video on it and include it securely taped to the outside of the box
113 cycles, that's not bad....
Lol my 2013 is currently on 1200 cycles, really need to get round to changing the battery though
My late 2013 did around 1100 before the battery died altogether. Cost me a fucking fortune to replace it, but now it's working great again.
Well, for the average person, a Mac will always be expensive. It will either be an expensive purchase or an expensive lesson.
Not sure if this was posted already but it looks like the SSD used is a M.2 with a adapter. Correct me if I'm wrong though... But getting a Retina for that price would make anyone wonder too! Hehe
What an amazing turn of events.
i got a 2017 MacBook Pro after my 2015 went under... I think I got a good deal. 1TB SSD, dual video cards, 3.1GHZ processor. basically the most maxed out a 2017 MacBook Pro can get according to apple's website and spec page. I paid 400 under $2000. Good deal?
I bet they mixed up shipping labels.
Feel bad for the buyer who paid almost $1,000 for a Retina MacBook Pro and received a 2008-2012 MacBook Pro, probably with a Core2 Duo.
Seller accidentally put his own macbook in the box.
