They are usually US sellers taking advantage ot the arbitrage opportunities. They dont send the box unless you ask for it - they just email the activation key.<br><br>Being ebay you need to a bit careful but it should be ok.AJSat, 21 Jun 2008 18:22:46 -0000http://www.smstextnews.com/2008/06/apples_mobileme_-_mac_by_any_other_name.html#comment-705836Legit activation keys? Do you mean part-used .Mac subscriptions?bensmithThu, 19 Jun 2008 07:29:35 -0000http://www.smstextnews.com/2008/06/apples_mobileme_-_mac_by_any_other_name.html#comment-699449You can pick up legit activation keys on ebay for about £40 if that helps.

Redundant records of e-mail, text messages and more spawn and ever-growing treasure of evidence to search through in the event of lawsuits, divorces and all manner of criminal investigations. --Ben <a href="http://hack-igations.blogspot.com/2007/11/instant-message-retention-e-discovery.html" rel="nofollow">http://hack-igations.blogspot.com/2007/11/instant-message-retention-e-discovery.html</a>benjaminwrightMon, 09 Jun 2008 23:48:11 -0000
