It used to be quite easy to find used Apple products on Amazon. For example, I bought a used 2013 Macbook Pro with Applecare included at a decent discount. When it came time to replace it, similar options weren't available on Amazon, unfortunately.

There's a difference from selling used as an individual vs selling used as store. There are authorized used Mac sellers, but I'd imagine they'd be under the same Apple mandates on what is allowed. If some of these sellers on Amazon "fucked around and found out" what happens when you break an Apple contract, then whoops! A contract is there for a reason.

This doesn't seem to be talking about used sales, though.

Why unfortunate? There are great marketplaces like Backmarket.
