Doesn't surprise me. I've seen this particular person pimp many items on
ebay without any clue as to what exactly they are selling. All they know
is "hey, old computers are hot collectables" and just stick them up on
ebay with half-assed descriptions. The lame part is people buy the crap
for inflated prices anyway, thereby encouraging their behavior.
