Rebates have no rules about this. You can cash the check. The only problem would be is if the person you sold it to wants a rebate... then they would not be able to get one since the Serial Number has already had a rebate associated with it.
I worked in a rebate center and we had these questions all the time. Go ahead and cash it.

i don't think so, i mean you just sold it. If you sold it 3 years down the road, you would of still had your rebate and gotton the 200$. unless when you bring it before God you don't feel right, pray about it

Not a sin. You just found a loophole to the whole rebate thing. You followed their rules, so you shouldn't feel guilty.

You got the check from a big corporation. The big corporation isn't going to go bankrupt from a $200.00 check. How does 200.00 affect your life? Will you be able to go to a nice dinner, buy a few CDs? That sounds like a lot more fun than being loyal, faithful and protective of a corporation.

Nah - who is getting hurt by that sin? The big scary monopolistic computer company or the big scary monopolistic computer store? Go for it - I'm sure you have more economic troubles than they do!
Or if you wanna be a REAL man, you can donate it to a charity - take your pick on the number of people who need it more than you do. ^_-

no. you payed full retail for it. then you resold it. if you would have returned the lap top and kept the rebate then you would be stealing from the company.

No, its not a sin. It would be one if you never owned the laptop.
