| > What price? The price of having to pay a shady black market of "icloud unlocker" (usually through legit phone stores) to unlock of phone they have already paid for in good faith. > the $200 MacBook from the shady person online It's not just an online thing, and the person doesn't have to be shady (they're usually just a middleperson who have little clue). You can find questionable hardware in most open markets and second-hand shops. > without the original box, warranty or charger? Most second-hand hardware i purchase from legit sources comes with at least two of those missing (when not three) out of three. > also because they're stupid. I agree it's stupid to purchase a device you have no idea how to access/use/unlock. But i strongly disagree that good-faith people, who genuinely paid for an Apple device (after being advertised into thinking they need one), should suffer because of a lack of judgement on their part. |
