I might be posting this in wrong section, but I thought someone will notice it and help me out.
I recently made a bidding at ebay for a nice desktop. I gave it $381, but as I wasnt that interested I stayed there. Anyhow other people did bid further and it went over $700.
Now, for some reason guy pulled the item from bidding and couple days later I recieved an e-mail with an offer to get it for original bid I made ( $381)
Notice that there are about over 10 higher bidders than me.
Ok I wasnt sure what to do, so I emailed a seller via ebay asking him is it correct that he wants to give that computer for $381 and just to be in safe side I wrote down all parts he listed asking him - is that correct.
Now, today I check my e-mails and I get an e-mail from him saying:
"HELLO,
ALL OF THIS CORRECT! SHIPPING 30$
Have a nice day."
Now when I tell you whats in that computer might make you understand why I am hesitating to hit Buy it now button.
This is how he listed it.
