What is that "sniper button" anyway? with that kind of shipping, even if someone does bid at all, they will definetely make a decent profit.

haha thats freakin hilarious :-P wonder how much itll go for, 4 ppl already bid on it :-P
im not sure if he'll profit from the shipping cost, if ppl will pay 35$ for the thing without the monitor, he will, but 50$ with the monitor, monitor shipment is at least like 30$ isnt it ? look at newegg prices, 15$+ for just an LCD flat panel... u never know :-P KoMoDo |

Why do I get the feeling that ubermodder23 is actually the seller trying to promote his item by putting it up on computer forums?

Looks like it will be a failed auction. Someone really wants that computer. I still think that this post was to advertise his ebay wares.

Someone obviously making a joke. Ebay bids are contract though - don't think the seller will be too happy with this prank bid.

thats exactly the problem, ebay is smart, it uses this code that when u enter an amount, it automatically goes and adds only like 1-4$ of the previous bidder, thats y theres no way it reached 90,000$, unless 2 kids worked together or somethin..

Looks like the $90K bidder has grounds for claiming misrepresentation! In the specs at the top of the page it is referred to as 233MHz while at the bottom of the page it is called 266MHz. Built in escape hatch!

I would, It's funny and original, plus you get a working monitor, peripherals and testing accessories for a cheap price. The description is fine and clearly a joke, and the specs are clearly listed. A great buy if u ask me

its down now, i guess it was a prank or something, maybe ebay saw it and lowered it down back to default or somethin, really not sure.. i got a feeling thats what they did because they got almost 3000 visits so it must alerted them about something, all from pcmech prolly :-P
