Whoa

Although it's painfully obvious that the seller's age is no greater than thirteen. My guess is that the winning bidder will try to convince the seller to send the laptop out before receiving payment.

 

[CrackRabbit]

Something very funky there, first bid was 3500, the laptop isn't worth that.

 

[mugs]

Typo on the starting price? $3500 instead of $350? Followed by a series of joke bids (no idea why retards do this)

money laundering scheme or just stupid fake bidders?

also "It comes with Windows XP Pro, Office 2003, World of Warcraft". Do you think he's actually giving up the discs and everything for that or just leaving it installed? lol

[Capt Caveman]

Prank or scam

 

[Shadowknight]

The buyer needs it for his son. He will be attending school in America, so he will send the payment by money order and would appreciate it if the laptop could be shipped immediately to his home in Nigeria

 

[tweekah]

Compromised ebay accounts used for schill bidding.

 

[LordMorpheus]

I always kinda assumed that these ebay auctions that go for 10-100x their actual value were people laundering money.

 

[Skeeedunt]

Those Thinkpads are very well made. It would be bargain at twice the price.

 

[ViviTheMage]

wow can run on anything ^_^
