I noticed looking through .com I found this thread about a P4 powerbook on ebay. I clicked the link. I want to point out 3 things.

1. It is going for $11,000.

2. If you look at the open pic of the powerbook you will notice it is a 15" ti powerbook. The other closed powerbook is pics from an apple store of the 17" al powerbook.

3. It says it is made by sony and uses a 1.5 Ghz P4.

The reason it's going for that much is because people know it's a scam and put in crap bids so that no one gets screwed.

Stuff like this happens all the time, it's a shame :\

Don't forget auctions change. It was $1700 last time I checked.

Maybe you should check again.

Maybe you should take your own advice, it might make you look like less of an ass.... (just some friendly advice) :D

Check bid history. Alot of people cancled their bid. But, they must of bid again to save people from scams like DMB said earlier.

:no: I'm not saying it wasn't $1700 at some point today when you looked at it.

My point is that you were disagreeing with someone who said it was $11,000, when in fact it was $11,000 - and you could have checked that in 2 seconds with one click, before posting and making yourself look like an ass.

It couldn't be that you enjoy making an ass of yourself.... could it? ;) :lol:

Odd that the auction was left to finish. . . they are normally on top of killing off bad auctions before they finish. Meh.
