Its quite a high price for a used machine so appreciate where your coming from. I bet they buy the badly listed deals (Like my one) off Ebay, refurbish and then mark them up. That should do you fine for many years.
To be honest after reading your responses i think im going to keep it and i am also negotiating with them for a discount i dont have the time to start the returns process as i have a gig on Saturday and im hoping to use the mac book (with my old lap top as a back up)
As a guy who i work with pointed out the scratches along the bottom so no one will ever see it!
I was just worried that the bad workmanship with the missing screws may point to more shoddy workmanship inside the unit!
PS yourDJ would you be so kind as to point me in the right direction so i can buy a case as im struggling to find one?

I would not worry about it, bet you don't even notice it in a week. As you say its on the bottom. Most annoying when its on the top. Have a look about for cases, but here are a few options. You can often get really good uses ones. Screw kits cost about £1. i would imagine that its been properly cleaned out, so they will have had to get into it, bet everything is where is should be, they are delightful machines to work with, I have added all sorts of bits to mine. As long as you stay away from the mother board, you can fix all sorts of parts on it if you need to.

Yer one of my laptops had a big scratch on the bottom. Doesn't bother me, nobody's ever gonna see it... It's a work laptop. Has a tiny dent on the top too but again - don't care who's gonna see it in the dark?
Work computers don't need to be pretty.
Bit like I have no idea why phones keep getting prettier and prettier... Half the people who buy them shove them in a case or put screen protectors on them! And like anyone gives a about what level of detail the aluminum it's made of lol.
