Honey how did you buy our house? Luke: don't worry, completely random

Luke: "I'm going to randomly buy a MacBook on eBay." *Two business weeks later* Luke: "This is a mid 2018 15 inch MacBook pro that I paid 3 crumpled up ones and a PB&J for."

Luke, you need to gift a MacBook Pro to your roommate.

If he has a roommate and they have a bad laptop I’m sure he has like 200 MacBooks somewhere unless he sells thrm

“Tada, I found this guy in my house” Best way to introduce your roommate

2:41 you could have just gone up 16 from the bottom but ok

I got my MacBook from eBay it is in almost perfect condition. At the price I got it, I could not find anything better anywhere. So do your research before you buy. Luke helped me make the right choice.

Luke called him a simp...😂

This is the most weirdly engrossing thing I've ever watched.

8:04 Wow that transition was good! Your videos are always high quality, keep up the good work!

It can’t be a coincidence you landed the exact same model I own lmao

I like the longer video, better content and good analysis, nice work Luke 👌🏻👍🏻

8:03 DOPE TRANSITION 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wow, that was a fun ride! What a clever video idea, nicely done!

an Apple a day keeps the corona away.. well.. this guy really takes it seriously.

I'll be honest, I was amazed when Will came out, and Luke was able to quickly and succinctly explain what to do with the RNG and where to find it. I imagine if I were in Luke's position and had one of my roommates, or shit almost anyone I know, it would involve a lot more explaining than that before anyone got anywhere...

I agree with you about Ebay and I don't trust it. But then again I've had people try to sell me bunk PCs on Craigslist as well. I usually ask a lot of questions now to feel someone out before even meeting with them. If they seem cool then I go ahead and meet with them to make the purchase. Good video Luke and congratulations on a new MacBook Air. ;)

Hi Luke. Love your content. I can’t remember if you shared in a previous video whether you sell items on eBay. My wife wants to update from a 2012 21.5 iMac to a 27” unit. Based on your videos, I think it would be better to look for a good/great deal on a used model versus buying a new one. Any direction you can provide is deeply appreciated.

You should be a good roommate and shoot the Dell and replace it with the MBA 😎

@Luke Miani I put a ssd into my iMac thanks for the great tutorial videos 👍🏻

I hear that as well. I buy used expensive camera gear. My friends say they worry about taking chances on items over $1000 or even 2k. So I can understand their concerns. I think eBay & PayPal do a good job to help make buyer comfortable now days

luke: “your a filthy SIMP” roommate: *moves out*

Hey Luke, your videos are very interesting! I started buying and selling MacBooks until I could get to a perfect deal for me. I went to a pawn shop a few days ago where they had a 2018 MacBook Pro 15" with 2.2 ghz 6-core processor for a "whopping $900"(in Luke Miani voice) because it had a "flashing folder error". So I purchased it and reinstalled the system to factory settings. it has apple care+ till 2022. After my purchase I thought "Luke would be proud of this purchase" 😂

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this macbook air. I have a 2015 with 4gb of Ram and it has been a pretty solid unit.

That was strangly fun! Just checked for a 2015 Mb Air on the main second-hand website here in Belgium, and prices here range from €400 ($370, cheapest 4Gb) to a staggering €750 ($690) asking price. Then again, importing a cheaper Mac from the US would probably be expensive and would leave me with a US Qwerty-layout. Hmm, I'll just keep looking. Thanks for all your entertaining vids!

this guy should be at a million subs like his vids are soo good!!.

My 2015 MBA still has 4GB of RAM and it’s useable. It’s not great, but I’ve had lot of tabs open since working from home and it really hasn’t been a problem.

I’ve been watching so many of your videos because I’ll be a college freshman in the fall (hopefully, dang corona virus) college is not cheap 🙃 I’m glad I found your channel, I hope I find a MacBook for a good price.

Please do another broken one we need more quarantine things to do

Next video: " How i ended up with a 16" MBP from a 2015 Macbook Air "

hey luke im obsessed with your macbook videos, hahahaha

Your ebay videos are very educational and entertaining. Any experience with Swappa?

Now this is some content

The reason why people think 2nd hand online purchase is scammy is because people tend to fall for the cheap price (what they consider a "great deal"), and more often these listings have some kind of catches, or just straight-out being a scam.

Haven't seen the video yet... but hey ...let's take a look how Luke randomly got another awesome deal.

I love your channel, can you please do a MacBook Air comparison from the first to the 2020 model? Thanks!

Hi Luke. I’m looking for a MacBook with a very small budget to use it for programs as photoshop or illustrator. My question is: do you think macbook 12’ 2015 is a good choice for my requests? Or I have to look for something else ? Thank you

6:35 time shift? Seems a lot brighter outside 😅

Nicely done. I'm a big fan of "last year's tech" because you get great stuff for a big reduction in price. I often sell my old mac on ebay and buy a refurbished mac from apple for a total cost of 35% to upgrade. And Apple products retain both their value and their technical 'integrity'. I often recommend to my friends that they buy old macs on ebay - but they're afraid. This video helps to show that both good values and good products are available. Great video.

Hey Luke, I have a question for you. What price should I sell my nearly pristine Early 2015 MacBook Pro RETINA 13 inch 3.1 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7 16GB RAM 128GB SSD

Thanks that is a great tip how to get good deals!😅

Here’s an even sketchier random eBay idea: do the same thing with the random pages and random listing # for the page, but instead of searching “MacBook”, use “Mac Pro”; should be all sorts of letdown!

is 1k a good price for a mid 2015, 15 inch mac book pro with the dual graphics? It's got 16gb and a 512gb storage as well.

When you took it out of the box you said you weren't sure what year it was. You can narrow it down tho. On the bottom they used a thicker font for the serial etc. stuff there pre-2015. 2015 uses a thinner font that aligns with when they thinned the OS fonts. (as long as the bottom plate isn't a replacement)

Never clicked a video this fast

I just got the Total AV now thank you for the 80% off Luke! Great video as always!

been watching a lot of your videos lately, could you get a used 2011 13 inch macbook pro and review it?

I have a 2011 iMac and I have been wanting to sell it on eBay any advice on that? Shipping details? I guess I’m nervous for that. I added memory to it and it runs great!

Hey Luke! why you don't recommend the MacBook Pro 15 of 2011?

to your point about people being afraid of buying things on eBay, I just picked up a 2015 11" MBA i5 4GB for $229 off a refurbisher showing worst-case scenario product photos of dented corners and scuffs everywhere. I bought the last unit in the auction fingers crossed. Mine arrived in mint condition and it came with a brand new magsafe charger as well.

Can you make a video about downgrading from ios 13 to ios 12 or any lower version? Thank you!

hello, how are you, I have been watching your channel for a long time, I am a fan of apple products and their ecosystem, I consider them very reliable and rarely give me problems, however recently I bought a mac book pro retina mid 2014 for my daughter at At first everything worked well, but after a while the sound of the speakers was distorted, it sounds horrible, and I could not repair it, so much is the problem that I am already thinking of taking it to the apple store, do you have any recommendations, something that I can do or try before thanks

I am looking to put a 2010 matte high res display on my mid 2012 MacBook Pro 15 in. Will that work or is the display not compatible?

Video on 2012 mac mini in 2020. Is it a good value?

QUESTION! Is a quad core i5 or a dual core i7 faster? Also, is 16gb ram with a 2.7 ghz dual core i5 faster or is 8gb ram with a 1.4 ghz quad core i7 faster? Thanks!

i am super excited to be a new mac user i have ordered my own imac on best buy what is some tips would you give new mac users

Hey Luke, what desk are you using in this video?

why do i find this guy buying from ebay listings so entertaining

Macbook 13 inch 2020 is worth or heating issue sir?

i’ve had a couple bad experiences on ebay, but most of the time it’s great. the deals are amazing. i mostly buy electronics on the site.

This is seriously my favourite Apple channel. Please don't ever change your channel's content.

I have a question. A few months back I bought an early 2015 Macbook Air 2.2GHz Dual-Core i7 8gb of ram and 265gb SSD for £300 ($369 ish) Did I get a good deal on mine?

how did you figure the week this mac was made? i really want to know when mine was produced exectly

What do you do with all them Apple equipment. Resell?

Luke please sprinkle me some of the Miani Magic

What do you do with the machines when you are done? Do you have an outlet - that might ship to the UK?

Can someone please recommend if i should get the Air or Pro. I need something that isnt too over the top, mostly for heavy internet browsing/minor web development. On occasion hooking up to a 4k TV. The Air lineup seems ok? Looking for a second hand one.

I don't know how he find those MacBook, I try people try to see new one on marked up price, Any tips and recommend reseler?

Out of curiosity, what battery program are you using?

I think that's a steal! I bought a 2017 air brand new for $800 2 years ago!

i was going to ask how you’re doing this... i just went on to check out some 27in iMacs and all the prices skyrocketed recently 😔.

hi i have a 2010 macbook pro but it has a little problem i could not manage to get it to run on ios so i had to load windows 7 then downloaded boot camp and then windows 10 im wondering if you would like to have a look at

Does the macbook air 2020 good? Pls answer I might buy one a week later

Any suggestions on buying from Groupon?

I’m looking to buy my first MacBook Pro. Should I buy a mid 2012 or wait for the new 2020 to come out? Any suggestions?

Hey, that's my MacBook Air! Well, sort of... Mine is 2017 and I upgraded the internal storage to 500 GB and... I love it! It's not my main Mac (iMac 27 late 2015 is) (8 Gigs of RAM was standard by then) but I mainely use it for training on both macOS and Windows versions of Office apps (Windows in virtualization, planning to go Boot Camp, hence the "big" drive upgrade), something I can't do on a iPad Pro, unfortunately. So I don't mind it not being Retina as it's mostely used with a beamer. But even so... Aluminum bezel is not great, though. I love the pre-butterfly keyboard and standard function keys (thank God they kept in on the latest MacBook Air! Wouldn't it be great that it would still be an option on the Pro?). It's my second MacBook Air and it is in a perfect state (I take care good care of my gears), with the original box and all. Even have a leather dBrand skin that I never installed... I paid it 800€ (VATi) for it 2 years ago new, here in Belgium, and I LUV it. I also like that I have a second Mac at hand would my iMac cought the Covid-19. And it runs for hours without looking for its charger (I often go out without it). Such a great piece of hardware. I plan to keep it for quite a while.

Hey Luke I made the switch to Android by purchasing an Xperia X performance My family want me to get an iPhone again but what should I get Could you suggest a budget iPhone and android

That’s preaching darn good for that air.

What's a fair price for my 2012 late Retina Macbook pro i5 128ssd?

What is a good price range for a 2015 MacBook Pro?

Honestly, that machine seems like a good deal. I bought an Early 2015 MacBook Air 11” a couple years ago and got it for $300. It has the same specs as yours, but $25 more for a bigger screen, it’s a heck of a deal.

What did you use to find out the date the MacBook was manufactured?

The way he said afraid hahaha

how can i remove a stripped philip head screw inside an 2012 macbook? please suggest something how to remove it

You can make a video where you type in ebay for example macbook pro 2015 and buy the CHEAPEST listing there (buy it now) and review it. I like your videos tho.

Can I upgrade the storage on a MacBook air early 2014? Thanks

I HAD A DELL BEEP IN THE MIDDLE OF MATH CLASS! Lmao it freaked everyone out.

When your channel is about Appels products, but when you are picking a random number you don’t use Siri.

i just have got a macbook air 2017 with an 8 gigs of ram and a 128 ssd but am going to replace it soon hopefully to a 512 and it was only 350 and had like 3 battery cycles

I know this is a weird place to ask. But I have a windows 8.1 vm and would like ideas to do with it during lock down!

Luke is the type of guy who has a closet full of apple products

A fun video. Well done.

I'm starting to think that every ridiculously high priced MacBook on eBay are from people trying to get lucky with Luke Miani randomly buying it.

Keep up the great work ✂️ Hahahaha

I got an old iMac for 60 bucks because the old owner thought it was broken. It only had flashing folder, yes it could have been hard drive failure or none at all but I too may chances and it worked out.

7:24 just rescued a Happylander :P

Is the 2017 MacBook Pro still good in 2020

I still have my Macbook from 2010..

Using that stimulus check wisely.
