Get the serial number from the seller and check with the manufacturer to see if it's theirs to sell (doesn't help with cloned machines but the manufacturer should be able to help you with further checks for a particular serial number if you have any doubts). I think most genuine sellers wouldn't have a problem with this.

True enough. If it is a genuine deal, the seller will help you out and if it is possible, ask the original sales company if they have their original records to say who had it and when. From experience, I can tell you that not all machines are registered with the first owner, some get sold by a dealer who doesn't fill in the warranty reg form so can be genuine errors. If in doubt, walk away, another will come along.
