Nope... These are people with lots of money, and totally without a clue.
I can pull the back case off of any number of the early Macs in my

This looks like a classic case of 'weasel-wording'. Accurate, but phrased
to obtain the maximum effect desired... Out-of-control bidding!
And the annoying thing is... it is working!
