I got a good price as I paid $1649 for a laptop that would cost at least a thousand bucks more if I were to buy it new, and several hundred more if I were to buy it refurbished from Apple. The shipping was pretty quick and easy. It came wrapped in a very protective bubble wrap and simply had the laptop and the charger in the box. The charger looks to be brand new. The laptop itself was in satisfactory condition. It had a few very small dings (no dents or scratches), and normal wear around the charging ports. the bottom of the laptop had some discoloration due to a case or something being used on it. When the laptop arrived it had 298 cycles on the battery. This seemed like a lot but the battery still has a lot of life left in it so it wasn't a deal-breaker for me. The computer works like new and has been very nice to have! I have used it for just shy of a week and have noticed nothing of concern. If I do have future issues I will be sure to update this review. As for now, I am happy and satisfied with my purchase!
