    I can't believe the police are going for him rather than the dodgy seller! Although I'm sure there are more normal channels of getting a refuned / making a complaint

    I think it's probably because the seller reported the buyer to the Police, so the police have to at least investigate it, rather than the police just chasing after him because they saw the site.

    I don't think that the police would have gone after the buyer if the seller hadn't reported it. (They'd probably be sat there reading the site, peeing themselves with laughter like everyone else )

    But yeah, there's no way I'd buy something as expensive as that off ebay unless they were a power seller with a huge feedback rating for selling similar equipment.

    Tony Blair and George Bush sat down for a crisis meeting. What were they going to do? Thousands upon thousands of workers calling in sick, the victims of the hideous addiction now known as the Laptop guy Syndrome.

    Here they both were, with dismal ratings in their respective countries, and now the entire free world's economy was at stake.

    Misery and worry was written on both of their faces.

    Suddenly Tony looked up and yelled, "I think I've got it! We can use this thing!"

    "What if we say that Sadaam bought his weapons of mass destruction on EBay, and he bought them from this guy Amir who screwed him over! That's why we couldn't find the bloody things!"

    "Damn Tony!! That's a mighty fine idea!! With what a total screwball little thief and swindling horses *** this Amir has turned out to be, everyone will believe it!"

    "George, you could use this for that fence issue with Mexico too!"

    "Yahoo! Gotta keep Amir the sniveling porno pantyhose lovin perv out of the US! Everyone will get behind that!"

    "Our ratings will go through the bloody roof! So, how do we pry the workers from their computers and get them back to work, George?"

    "Dunno. What's the counter at now anyway?"

    And with that, a brilliant political move was lost as George and Tony fell into the computer screen, to spend yet another night Googling anything that had to do with Laptop guy or Amir, waiting and hoping one or the other would make another appearance so that they could get their fixes.
