It does look suspicious, there are plenty of reputable escrows. when you're selling a 2012 MacBook for 4btc, what's a few pennies of btc to secure a sale ?

Not to mention that the memory issue is a killer. I bet it would fail memTest86 and you can't just pull a sim and replace as they are chips soldered to the MB.

I know all too well what flaky memory will do. Put cheap ram in a MBP several years back, had all kinds of intermin weird behavior. finally ran memtest86 in single user mode and
bam. errors like crazy even though apple diagnostic would pass. was OWC and they took back and allowed me to upgrade to best ram.

Had to restore from backup (always make before any upgrade hard or soft) and had to diff against current to recover changes.

never again will buy bargain ram. Not worth the issue's it caused.

So highly risky even at $750 for example (even if it does get delivered).
