...would you jump on it or wait for a better deal?

I think I know the answer to this, but I need affirmation.

I will pm anyone who asks.

BTW - The laptop wont' ship until July 7th, so if you can't wait that long, it's not a good deal for you.

I am quite skeptical though.

I know Ebay is a buyer-beware sort of business. Understood.

I'm not trying to convince people to go along with this, just whether or not its a good deal. From your reactions, I think my question has been answered.

Thanks for all your help.

Having been scammed by LiquidationUniverse, I am not going to buy any laptop from EBAY where the seller does not have it in hand

Nice price but things like this would make me somewhat suspicious of the seller:

once these are gone I will not be getting any moor.

Notice he says he won't refund your money until the 30th too....

From reading his first page of feedback and the auctions they're for, it doesn't look like he has ever successfully delivered a high dollar machine to people. He may not take your money and run, but I'll bet you're giving him a cheap personal loan for a month and a half.

Thanks for the link Steve - looks like it is too good to be true, for those folks who were considering.

From what I've learned in corresponding with the seller and meticulously going through her feedback, the downside risk is that I'll get a refund +$25 in about 3 or 4 weeks. Granted, I'm paying with Amex. I'll report back here and let everyone know how it went. Wish me luck!
