!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me add some exclamation points here. There are some serious scumbags on ebay that are doing everything they can to obscure what they are selling.
They will list the turboboost GHZ instead of the actual GHz, they will list a fusion drive or SSHD as SSD
They will lie and tell you that the whole thing is covered by a 2,3,5 year warranty. But after 30 days, you can demand all you want and they won't honor that warranty because you are no longer able to contest the transaction or leave negative feedback. After a few months, the whole listing will be gone and your only evidence of the promise will be gone as well.
that said, I scored a hell of a deal on an i7 2017 imac on ebay a while ago, but I was on the lookout for weeks before I found the one that I wanted.
