Is it normal for sellers to cover up serial numbers on EBay?

Question

macbook

Hello !
Now I'm looking for a Mac on eBay and I noticed that many sellers cover up the serial numbers. Is this normal and should such sellers be trusted?

2 thoughts:
1. Outbid. They don’t sell specific lots, there are a lot of laptops (as well as points of sale), so the serial number doesn’t shine so that you can’t later throw a claim that they sent the wrong thing.
2. Trite safety! Don't forget about hackintoshniks, they scour the web looking for serial numbers to substitute it for their hack. What happens in life is that sellers usually unbind "find a poppy" before selling, because their serial number is ideal for incorporating them into their hacks. The consequences can be such that when a real poppy is activated later, the message "the function to find a poppy is enabled on such and such a mail" will hang. It doesn't work very well...
