The following videos show you how to change the serial numbers and Mac specs on Macbooks, Macbook Pros, Macs, etc. Basically anything running OS X. Can be used to change serial to appear as a different computer to people on CL, Ebay, etc and in turn sell it for more money.. Feel free to click on an ad in the videos if it helps you in any way, I'll make a few cents if you do and it's greatly appreciated!!. Thanks all.

Indeed, Good luck if you use the info!

In the area where I live, Macbook Pro's sell the same day as listed usually. Other Mac products take longer. So if the area where you live is the same way and you want to sell quickly to move on to the next then I would just use 2010 MBP's and make them appear to be Mid 2012's. Even better is to search Craigslist or ebay for serials that still have Warranty so the person would be more willing to pay extra.
I buy and sell Mac products without doing this and make a nice amount of cash. I buy the computers that have an issue then fix the issue. Or I talk the person down to a good amount so I make a lot of profit. I usually make about $350 per computer as far as the MBP's go.
Another thing you can do is buy dropped and broken MBP's that are only a year or two old then sell the logic board on ebay. You'll get about $300 maybe more. Then you can sell the other good parts and make money.
The thing about Macbook Pro's is they are worth more when they are disassembled and sold piece by piece if you have the time. Otherwise use the video's to change serials and specs to make it seem like a more expensive computer. Obviously you would use caution when selling this way and only do it in areas where you do not live.
