Apple Opens eBay Store with Refurbished Products
Is Apple taking refurbished stock to eBay?
If you're considering a used MacBook (or iPod, or any other Apple product), you might do well to check out eBay, which apparently has it's very own Apple-run refurb store. 9to5 Mac reports that the store, named only as "Refurbished Outlet," is a trial run by Apple and the products offered come with all kinds of perks you wouldn't get buying from a private seller. These include a one year warranty, a fresh battery in iPads/iPods, a re-install of the original OS, repackaging complete with manual and cable, like-new condition, complete burn-in testing, and a final quality inspection by Apple. The prices match refurbished models sold through Apple's own website.
Though Apple has not confirmed that the store is run by Cupertino, 9to5 Mac seems to have gotten confirmation from someone, noting only that nobody on eBay would go on the record with a confirmation. The site noticed the store a few weeks back and has been speculating about its existence ever since. They believe it's an experiment so there's no telling how long it will last, or if it will lead to bigger and better things. For now, head on over to the store and check out what's on offer for yourself.

I don't think that's going to be possible without some added expenses to the customer. Batteries glued to the interior of the case is a tad more difficult to remove than popping them out.
Because they come with a 1 year warranty and the option to extend to a 3 year warranty. Same as a new product
So that someone excuses it to be the same price of a new one? Lol....
Maybe Apple can sell me a IIfx or a IICi, or what would be even cooler...... a Mac LC........ that was the last time Apple was "cool"....... we are talking about vintage 1994 products......
Apple has the same failure rate if not more as any manufacture.
Those are older than 1994. 1994 would be the first generation of Powermacs. Those you listed came out in 1989-90 and ended in 1992-93. Although those first Powermacs were amazing.
My 7100/66AV with 72MB RAM, 2MB VRAM, 2x CD-ROM, 17" 800x600 screen, and 2GB Fast-Wide SCSI hard drive was blazing fast.
Not the same cost as a new Apple. Usually 100-300 off for computers(a few seconds is all it takes to actually know what you are talking about these days)
As stated earlier, these refurb products come with the same exact warranty coverage as a new unit, no 90day crap like most others companies(esp 3rd party resellers)
