When something seems to good to be true sometimes that's because it is. There are good bargins to be had on eBay though, just not from the scumbag criminal who took over someones account and is trying to cheat you. I'll not become a Lord of Kobol, but please see my other comment to try explain what happened here. And feel free to contact me offline if you need more explanation.

Glad to be of service

Not having received either the laptop or any replies from the seller in the last two weeks, I’m already composing a vitriolic post in my head about being ripped off. Time will tell…

Can I be an official Lord of Kobol?

If I get the laptop, I’ll have a think about it! :P

Shouldn't be a problem. I'm eyeing his store myself, now... If it’s the bloke I saw comparablestuff with, he has nearly 12,000 sales on ebay and a three-nines approval rating. Shouldn’t be a problem.

We'll see. The encouraging thing is that Dell have an eBay account too and were sellng the same model with a comparable setup for about the same price. The reason was that it had a tiny, barely noticeable scratch on the cover. Their user ID is dellfactoryoutlet. Didn't win that one though. I hope I don’t get a box full of bricks too. We’ll see.

I played the spec game for that on Dell and I figure you're getting that at 66% off? That is an impressive piece of Ebayery.

Like I said a while back, the laptop I got (a miserly Dell Inspiron 640m) was a real life-saver while I was doing the ’staying away during the week’ contract, and is still so while I’m in the ‘commuting every day’ phase.
