First thing to do is contact the seller and get the manuals and original disks.
Buying an used machine wtihout those is like buying an auto with out a spare
tire and jack. If that's impossible, then contact Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE,
register the machine, and request the original disks. There will be a nominal
cost. As for manuals, check at

downloadable from <http://www.apple.com/downloads/>.
