RHB >> Definitely good advice. In this situation UPS was the shipper and insures shipments for $100 if no additional insurance is requested. If a claim is filed they will inspect the shipping box and packing for damage. There is little damage to the box and packing so it is iffy they would honor this claim.
This was a bargain purchase, you take you chances and roll the dice. I have purchased Mac's from this seller in the past with good results. In general I have been very lucky with the used Mac market --but there is always a chance you will get burned. I do expect compensation from the seller.
