Lee - doubt I will bid on it now as this seems way to strange to be legit/genuine

But what I can't understand is why? If this is a little set up with falsly generated sales - wheres the profit? If it's a small group of people with numerous accounts all fixing each others auctions, how is anyone making any money? They can't be without selling the gear to genuine punters then ripping em off..... so only thing I can think of, is it is some kind of laundering system Sounds a bit far fetched I know, but it's the only thing that makes sense, cos you launder stolen money you need it to keep going round circulation, in and out of banks, real and online banks, till it becomes clean. Only way to do that is control who and where it goes....

The other similarity between all these laptop buyers and sellers, and their buyers and sellers and so on is they all only accept personal cheque or bankers draft/postal order - no escrow or paypal, or cash on collection

And none seem to have listed postage prices....

Seems all the auctions follow a very similar formular, as does the feedback...

Much oddness
