I've noticed some great deals on laptops on ebay
Ebay has become one of the largest fencing operations in the US for
stolen goods. I'm not surprised to see good (prices so low it's a steal) deals. Please note that Ebay does not support or condone selling stolen merchandise but they can't control 100,000 individual sellers who can setup an account, sell a dozen items then disappear.

Local sales people have always put down any kind of remote sales mail
order, factory direct and now ebay. The money is being transferred out of the local market. Phil Sherman wrote: Ebay has become one of the largest fencing operations in the US for stolen goods.

Remember, If It's too good of a deal, It Is. Buyer beware Is the key
word here. Paying with PayPal is also a lost cause. Oh they say your covered. But I found out your not. Then the seller won't list things like this and that don't work. Bios password is set. The mfg wont help you out unless your the registered owner. Etc, Etc. wrote: What the deal, prices keep getting better and better, seems like there are the best deals on compaq laptops are on Ebay.

What about the buy it now ? The seller set's the price.
Then the fake biding that goes on. I post a item on there to sell, Call 3-5 friends and have them bid on it. This over drives the price up. It happens all to many times. timeOday wrote: Phil Sherman wrote: Ebay has become one of the largest fencing operations in the US for stolen goods.

wrote in message oups.com... What the deal, prices keep getting better and better, seems like there are the best deals on compaq laptops are on Ebay. The prices are incredible. maybe NOT your issue, but ... are you talking new or used ? From OEM's or buying from local/nationally known resellers ... reason I ask is that at local computer shows, I've found that a LOT ( if not ALL) of their PC's have the same OEM software license on them. And I asked - none came with a software CD ( 2000/xp). All of these vendors where from out of town. I understand that it's easier for them to make one image and then just blast it to all the same model PC's , but nowadays, the first time a user tries to download from MSFT, he hits the Genuine Advantage issue and unless he's the first of the entire group ( doubtful), then someone will have already registered that license with MSFT.... rendering this " new PC" license useless. So, if that seller doesn't need a legit license, he can hobble together parts/make a pc and use the same cd to install the software on any of that model pc - and it works fine - until it needs an update. Then the buyer finds out the license is no good ... so be careful as that's one way to 'keep the cost down'. |

..
you're better off reading the Ebay newsgroup there are many risks buying laptops on Ebay lot's of scams or, if you buy through Paypal...without a credit card, you can be stuck pretty bad, if the seller doesn't deliver the laptop it's not worth the risk, saving 100-200 bucks waterboy |
