First of all, IMHO there is no such thing as "investment" grade collectable
anything. If you want an investment, buy stock. What you're describing would
better be described as "scalper grade."
Second, if your friend is so keen to advertise to this list, I'd suggest having
him join it. Then he can advertise his scalper grade computer and if it
offends people, he can take his lumps.
Third, I would never buy anything on a net auction not run by a reputable
auction house - ebay, egghead, etc. They may have resulted in our hobby's
prices getting inflated, but they offer you some protections from outright
fraud, favoritism, etc.
