    It is an OK deal. You can buy it brand new from BestBuy for $950. I hope this helps. God Bless :)

    -Check if warranty stickers are still there.
    -Check if he registered the warranty under his name
    -Looks for scratches, bumps, etc...

    $700 is a very good deal, given that no used G50VT-X1 has sold for under $800 on ebay recently.

    Just be a bit cautions with craigs, check to see if everything is working ok and again for a bit more you get it new, at least you know it's yours and yours only.

    If you are doing this transaction face-to-face, be sure to test everything while you're there. Don't give the guy money until you can confirm that nothing immediately obvious is broken.
