UPDATE if anyone can read the serial number on the back of the box lmk cause i’ve tried all the possibilities that i can see, and on the “check coverage” site from apple it’s not working which is making me suspicious

    dang you’re smart lol i didn’t know that. and interesting yeah i mean i would assume that it’s newly bought if it doesn’t look opened. still kinda on the fence about buying from ebay. might spend and extra couple hundred bucks and do the apple refurbished but this is tempting lol

    It’s a bit strange, indeed. Why would someone sell it at a loss, 10 days after purchase, instead of returning it? The logical thing that comes is mind: it’s sourced using unofficial methods, so it’s either stolen or something in the gray area, maybe an IT manager stealing from the company/
