Is IBM Certified Used Equipment covered by an IBM service agreement?

No. End users purchasing IBM Certified Used Equipment can call 1-800-426-SERV (7378) if they wish to have the equipment covered under an IBM service agreement. There is a fee for the service agreement. IBM Certified Used PC products that are considered "post-warranty" are eligible for Maintenance Agreement ServicePacs if the machine is purchased for business or professional use rather than for personal use.
