Indeed.

I notice he wants £550 for an XP2000.
Last week I bought three XP2200 base units for 200 + VAT each.

From a proper shop.
With a warranty.

Admittedly they didn't come with loads of pirated software though.

read right to the end, the prices are bad, but the descriptions, terms etc
are damn confusing, and im sure wrong or illigel

The systems appear to be crap and over priced yes. Also the auction should
be an auction for one thing not a keyword spamming advert for sales off of
Ebay (which is dodgy.)

I've just emailed him to ask if all that pre-installed software ('you
can have any software you like as long as I can find it'!) comes with
original discs and licences - I'll let you know what he says.


And not surprisingly, he didn't reply.

I like this bit:
PHONE: 07887671670 AFTER 4.00 PM UK TIME. (AFTER WORK :-). ) THIS
PHONE NUMBER IS SWITCH ON TILL 7 OR 8 PM

After school more like, and his phone is only on till 7 or 8 cos
that's what time Mummy sends him to bed. I wonder if he knows you have
to be 18 to trade on ebay?

Heh, I thought so too. Wonder if its worth giving him a call from a
pay phone somwhere and see if he has a child like voice or ask him the
prices of s/w too see if they are legit or "downloaded".

That Intel System 3 that's £900. I just got the same thing from Staples for
£598, except with 2.66Ghz instead of 2.8Ghz. Oh, and it included Windows XP
Home.

Gotta love that case though

Also.. he's throwing in OfficeXP Pro and Photoshop ... thats best part of a
grands worth of software. But i'm sure he'll be supplying the original disks
and paperwork .... not /

I also notice he only has a feedback rating of 3. I wonder how many accounts
have gone NARU before this one ?

I'm sure the "software" is illegal too.

I thought that at first. I get the feeling Photoshop 6 its a freebie
that comes with certain components (say scanners) although I would
expect it to be the LE version or elements. PS6 would retail at
several hundred pounds (although its 1 version behind now). Certainly
more than the £300 estimated for XP, Office and PS6.


To the best of my knowledge (and i stand to be corrected), Adobe have never
given out free copies of Photoshop !

His other auction isnt much better (
http://makeashorterlink.com/?M3DA162F5
Is it a Nokia 3310 or an 8310 ... even he cant decide.
And why has he used a ripped photo ? If he can photograph his PC, you'd
have though he could have taken a snap of his mobile as well.
I just emailed him asking to confirm the mobiles' IEMI number, just so I can
check its not on the blacklist ..... I dont expect a reply

They have, well not so much free, but bundled with scanners and
digital cameras. Usually the LE version, but more recently superceeded
by the Elements version.
