Once something is bought from a retailer/manufacturer, it goes down in value. The ones people sell on here have already been purchased from the manufacturer or retailer, so they are cheaper.

They are not any more likely to be stolen than anything else you buy from a person.

Ahh so they are second hand laptops.

I was assuming they were running a business like on ebay.
Buying in bulk, getting a better price from dell and selling it undercut.

2nd hand item, as explained, is always cheaper - exceptions: classic cars, gold ... but wholesellers can also get their price lower than normal as well (costco, walmart..)

No. Those who sell dells in the for sale forum usualy have contact with a great sales rep at Dell. If I'm not mistaken a couple of them order it for you but it's delivered by Dell straight to you.

They arent second hand. That guy was wrong.
Also many people on this forum have bought their laptop from there.
