"Used Macs provided me with the exact computer I requested, with the appropriate software. The G5 was clean and appeared in excellent condition. It functions flawlessly and I can tell it was a machine that was inspected and properly maintained before it shipped. The delivery was on time and packed well.
The listing stated that it shipped with the original OS on the machine. It was delivered upgraded. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but I specifically wanted this machine with original OS. I called on the issue. Used Macs immediately shipped the appropriate OS. Sometimes errors happen, but Used Macs response to my issue was immediate and apologetic. I am in support of Used Macs and expect that when I need to find that particular computer required, I WILL return to Used Macs first.
9 out of 10, which is still an "A" in my book. Thank you Used Macs.

"UsedMacs.us sells used Apple equipment. They are located in West Hollywood, CA; I am located in New Mexico. I did not read the fine print carefully, so did not realize that I had only 24 hours to test the laptop (a 17" G4) after I received it (on Sept 24, 2010) to see if it worked satisfactorily, if I wanted a refund. It took me nearly 2 weeks just to get the info from my previous laptop loaded onto the new one. I started having problems with the laptop, so I took it to a local store to get it checked. They opened it up and found the hard drive had a funky piece of pink plastic taped to the back, and recommended that the hard drive be replaced.
I called the proprietor, David, who was very angry that I had opened up the laptop. He gave me an "RMA number" that the UPS did not accept, so it cost me $36 to return the laptop. He then sent it back via USPS. He stated that he had checked it out and added some more memory, and his tests showed that the hard drive was OK, but I did not accept delivery, as I felt that the laptop was still defective.
In spite of our difference of opinion, David did refund the $499.30 that was charged to my VISA. (I did not find this out until he emailed me on 2-17-11; I did not receive a statement from the credit card company in a timely manner.)
It would have been a lot easier to resolve this if I lived in the LA area so that I could work directly with David."
"I bought a POWER MAC G5 DUAL CORE 2.3GHz PCI-e - M9591LL/A from UsedMacs last week. It is a nice G5 bought a a very good price. The shipping was prompt, the Mac was very well packed. My questions just prior to purchase were answered prompt and accurate. They are good to buy from.

"My experience with UsedMacs was entirely positive. Pricing was very competitive. Service impeccable. No surprises. When I had a software installation issue, David walked me through it over the phone and insisted on staying on the line until it was completely resolved. I'll definitely be returning for my next used mac and I'll recommend UsedMacs to anyone looking for a great value and outstanding service."
"I had an Amazing experience with usedmacs.us!! I've been using my computer for over two months now and it has been more than what I needed. Service was excellent and I will definitely be doing business again in the near future. I have recommended usedmacs.us to all my friends and family and would recommend it to anyone!!!"
"David was very responsive to my initial inquiries about an 8-core Power Mac and answered all of my questions thoroughly. After some soul-searching and some Google searching I determined that while the 8-core would be nice, it'd be overkill for what I was doing. I decided to go with a nice quad-core and upgrade the memory, which David did for less than I can get memory anywhere else. I went with a model that had a "bent" handle and asked David to send me a few photos, which he happily did. I laughed when I saw the pictures; I couldn't see any noticeable damage at all! I guess they're just really picky, which is great for me. He also informed that they test the models with aesthetic "damage" more thoroughly than the unblemished models just to make sure there are no problems. The computer arrived 2 days earlier than promised and when I opened the case I'd swear it was brand new; EVERYTHING was immaculately cleaned. I put it in my 2 new 1TB hard drives and it's been running smoothly ever since. The only problems I've encountered were software issues; the Mac is working flawlessly!"
"I received item as described. Customer service was very helpful to answer my questions (before I placed the order), so I can place the order comfortably. Even though it is "used" (can see some minor cosmetic issue) mac pro, it is still working fine. I will definitely consider buying another mac pro again!"
"I ordered a power cord for my PowerBook G4 last month and had a great experience ordering from UsedMacs. I saw the item on their website and wasn't sure it was what I needed so I called. The gentleman I spoke to was very helpful and friendly. I proceeded to order the item and it was priced very well!
I received the power cord in a dat or two which I was not expecting since it was coming from the other side of the country but I was pleasantly surprised. The cord was in perfect condition and works great. I would definitely order from UsedMacs again in the future! "
"I was suspicious at first but after speaking with David and seeing that there was a guarantee I felt at ease. And I asked my Mac savvy friends about the MacBook David was selling and they said it was a good deal. So I went for it...
David was great at handling all my questions and staying in communication about how the process works. He made it simple and he was so kind and generous answering all my questions! David really understands his work and brings high quality customer service.
I am enjoying my MacBook.
I highly recommend UsedMacs!

"I called UsedMacs prior to my purchase with questions. Dave took his time answering all questions. I called after the purchase with questions and again, Dave was helpful and was in no hurry.
The Mac Pro G5 I purchased is fantastic. Fair prices, good service. great combination. Five Stars"
"UsedMacs was great! A life saver. I was working on a project and my older Apple Store G4 melted down and David came to the rescue with a reburbished G5. I had the G5 up and running in record time and finished my current project in time for Fed Ex pickup the next day! Great computer. Great friendly service. Thanks again David and UsedMacs.

"I am very pleased with my usedmacs experience. David turned out to be a very gracious, accommodating gentleman who bent over backwards to make sure I was satisfied with every detail of my purchase. I am very happy with the quality and condition of the refurbished computer I bought from him and will think of him first for my future computing needs if at all possible. First-rate products, service and pricing."
"Kudos to UsedMacs for the user-friendly and informative website. We did have an issues with PayPal which UsedMacs customer support worked with us to get resolved as smoothly as possible which was appreciated. The customer service was friendly and professional and my order was fulfilled quickly and the parts delivered have been working great. Thanks much."
"I think my biggest fear buying used merchandise via an online vendor I knew nothing about previously was two-fold: 1) the products were faulty, the vendor never ships and you're stuck having to chase them down, ... and 2) if there was problem once the product was received, there'd be no one at the other end of the phone, and solving issues would be a nightmare.
But here I am. None of my fears materialized, and my expectations were beyond surpassed. I am IN LOVE with my new computer! It arrived in super condition, and works like a dream. And the representative at UsedMacs was always avail by phone, was super helpful answering questions when I was making critical buying decisions, and was available immediately when I needed help setting a few things up once my system arrived. I highly recommend UsedMacs. Suzanne D."
"Service was great!!!
I will buy my next mac from used macs.com and all ready recommended it to all my friends and clients!!!"
