See that massive block of text listing the specs? Look close - see if you can spot this statement: "note: auction is for a wholesale list not an actual Gateway unit".

You'll go blind. This jackass has already sold NINE of these "lists" for $499 apiece. Look how he's sold a bunch of cheap junk first, to give him a few positive feedbacks.

thats funny, but i think he can get away with it as long as its stated in the description that it is a wholesale list. it doesnt say it isnt one. just gotta be that much more smarter when reading and buying off ebay.

He even admits it in the response to the negative feedback someone left him, what a jackass. Ebay should kill his account

FYI I emailed a warning to the high bidder for Item # 2058111723 in case none of you did. (New ATOT effect, clueless eBay bidder gets 1,000 warning messages )

Personally, I love how he blames the buyer for not reading everything and claims that he is suffering because of the bidder.

Except that it's listed under

Computers & Office Products:Laptops & Accessories:Laptops, Notebooks:Gateway:1 GHz & More

So that implies it's a Gateway Laptop.

Yeah, everyone got a bcc from an anonymous account warning them to reinvestigate their bidding on any items by him, and to read the fine print. Also to stop payment on any M.O.s heading his way. Maybe we can get them to give out his address, and have the "other" ATOT effect go down ...

Oh yes - and people who do this on eBay should be sodomized with a broomhandle.

A list where you can supposedly buy things at wholesale costs. search eBay for wholesale list and a ton of garbage will show up.

Once again, what IS he selling?

A lot of these auctions are for lists of companies that sell at wholesale prices. What isn't told is that a lot of these places sell at wholesale to resellers, so unless you have a valid business, you can't buy.

I took it as he was selling this item at list price. He is obviously selling a computer (look where he listed it), and obviously its a gateway computer (he goes on to describe the item), so there should be no doubt.

This item is for a wholesale list (unit), not an actual gateway unit, which means to me, he got it somewhere from wholesale and is selling it at wholesale list price, not directly from gateway..

You could easily take this auction this way.
