Heh thats actually pretty funny to me right now.

I bought a laptop off ebay last month. Here's a bit of the story...

I was bidding on a brand new IBM a22m 1.6ghz
Suprisingly I won at a bid of only $860.

I contacted the guy and luckily he only lived an hour away, so I told him I would meet him at his location (well at a mall close by his house, hell no I wouldnt actually go to his house, prolly get robbed) Anyways I take my brother and this girl with me as proctection eheh and meet up with this guy in the mall parking lot, broad day light.

So he pulls out the laptop, I turn it on, scroll on down to system properties, check out the MHZ, and it says 645mhz. I'm like dude this aint the same laptop I was bidding on ebay for. He was then like "blah blah blah its a stolen laptop actually I dont really know much about them" lol really I could careless if it was stolen or not personally, cant hurt me if I get caught with the thing. So I examine it a little bit more, checking the ram etc. I tell the guy, well im not giving you $860 because its not even close to the one you were offering. I'll give you $500. Deal.

So all in all I got a pretty nice laptop for only $500, stolen or not I like it :c)

I get home, check out who Windows is registered under, says "@#(*%@&$ Day School" (I wont release the school name here eheh) but ya its registered to a f'n school.

Oh well thats my story :c)
Dont ever buy a laptop off ebay!
