He's Nigerian?

LOL, how did I miss that....

Obviously a Photoshop picture but seriously, how would the scam work?

I mean, who in his right mind would buy a broken laptop based on a picture he/she has seen on the internet.

No scam detected. Not that it isn't one, but as far as we know he is ready to deal locally and not going to ask for Western Union or refuse to exchange in person.

Probably a stolen display model at a electronics B&M. :biggrin:
I wonder what the Samsung specs are, lcd screens can be replaced for <$120.

Looks like a computer with a broken screen.

Advertized as a computer with a broken screen.

404, blatant scam not found.

Dunno where the scam comes in here, when I worked for Sony repairing laptops I saw 5 a day with broken screens that looked very similar to the one in the ad.
