    Laptop on Ebay - dodgy or what?

    Thought I'd found a real bargain. Have a look at this item on Ebay:

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MakeTrack=true

    I guess "if it looks too good to be true then it probably is" applies here! A few anomalies: a) the cpu is listed as 700mhz in one part then 1.4 ghz in another, b) the location looks strange (Rome and UK), c) he's not sold anything on Ebay in 2 years (bought lots of cheap stuff like records).

    Anyway, I've emailed him. We'll see what he says.

    What did he say? What happened? Did he stop selling it, because I can't find it on ebay now?

    I think if he finds on, he'll grab it for himself!
