too bad he has such high starting bids, you could probably get a deal on one of those with no one else bidding on them.

what kind of idiot steals a description AND the original email address?

 

[otispunkmeyer]

Thanks for the laugh this morning.

Yesterday afternoon I lost power due to the nice storms in Chicago and am now at work without having showered and only having slept a few hours. I needed the laugh. Thanks.

Sabotage!?!

You were only making changes to things you own.

Should send the seller an email asking if it really comes with the pool of oozing plastic in front?

 

[Spineshank]

Thats awesome. You should have done a buy one get one free picture though. This way we all win

I just sent him a question asking if the computer he is selling really is melted. Im eagerly awaiting his response.

Someone actually bought one from him. And I think the guy who bought it emailed me about the new picture. I waiting to hear back from him to see if this is the item he bought.

This is likely a scam, no way he has the exact config I had, as it was customized.
