I'm looking to buy AppleCare for my MacBook Pro (warranty expires in 4 days) - I was wondering what's the cheapest way of getting it? Are the eBay ones trustworthy?

Thank you holdenmg. I think I might get it from buymac as it's an authorised seller. The thing is, by the time it comes, my warranty would've expired. I wonder if they can give me the serial number after I have paid.
But they are @ 296 Glenhuntly Rd, Elsternwick.
What area of Melbourne are you near to?
The eBay ones are not now generally trustworthy.
It used to be the case that you could buy a Sealed Genuine AppleCare with a receipt and you would be O.K. but those days are pretty much gone.
Some places will try and send you the code and maybe even the box later.

For AppleCare in Melbourne for a 13in MBP you are looking at $199.00

Otherwise, I find JB Hi-Fi @ Doncaster pretty good.
