Just selling stuff without bothering removing/unlinking the accounts from the devices is borderline criminal. Also having prices borderline more expensive than other marketplaces or even actual stores makes me think like they pick stuff from various sellers online (ebay/facebook or whatever) and just sell them with a small bump in price for a profit. In general this screams scam where they target random people surfing TikTok or whatever that think the Macbook they are buying for $300 is the same as the one Apple sells for $1000.

This is a HUGE issue with managed Apple devices. The companies wipe the device and sell it but forget to remove the remote management, whoever gets the device doesn't know it's a managed device unless they try to set up a new user. So resellers open it up turn it and see it's ready (supposedly) for a new user and then sell it. Then the person who bought it gets stuck with a brick because they don't have any way to remove it from a managed device system. The ONLY way to remove it is for the original owners that managed the device to go into their accounts and remove it as a managed device. As you can guess, most school IT and office IT departments aren't going to bother helping you with that. Especially since they can't confirm you bought it legit and aren't just trying to unlock one of their many computers to resell. They can't know if that one has been sold or not. Officially, they are supposed to remove any device they sell from their managed account before selling them, but they don't think of that when they wipe them.

​@@CaseyDplays most school disttricts have to keep a log of what they surplus and what they sell, though - I know the one I work at keeps track for a year after it leaves our inventory. If you call to check, they should be able to check records by serial number and remove it from Apple School Management and their MDM.

@@pokemonprimedYou’re right but that’s completely besides the point here. Schools are supposed to remove the software and usually they don’t, which is wrong, but as a reseller, it’s just as wrong to buy it and then knowingly sell that to someone you hope will be ignorant to it under false pretenses. It could be reasonable to assume that some people responsible for getting rid of the laptops from schools wouldn’t know to do this, however, as a retailer that claims to be near-expert professionals, selling a MDM-locked device is embarrassing. That’s some shady eBay no-refund no-name seller stuff.

I had to go back to their IT department several times after I graduated to get it finally released from their system.

As someone who works in IT at a school, the only way to remove the managed setup from that device is to remove it from ASM, (Apple School Manager). To do that you would need the school district's IT department would need to remove it from their inventory.

The remote management part may not indicate it has been stolen. This normally happens when schools get rid of old supply to refurbishers. The admins often forget to manually exclude those devices.

The unboxed MacBook Air with school data raises concerns about Strictly Apple's device handling and data security. Failing to reset the AirPods Max is also concerning. Ideally, they should attempt to reunite the MacBook Air with the school. The unclear return policy with conflicting information adds to the red flags. These inconsistencies make me wary of doing business with Strictly Apple.

10:41 I have experienced this before. Good news is that it's easily fixable, and it's not ENTIRELY sketchy. So, Strictly Apple is a reseller of old computers from Pasco County Schools. I am typing this on an old 2013 iMac, that had the same thing with Chicago Public Schools. I bought it from a shop out in the Chicago Suburbs. I just had to call CPS, get in touch with their tech support, and they removed the Remote Management. Kind of a hassle, but it wasn't difficult.

I wouldn't go anything older than 2015 in general for mac or PCs just for internet browser support and what not.
