These are likely scams... for eye-opening explanations see MacInTouch re 'Internet fraud.' <http://www.macintouch.com> You'll get a real education about eBay and other scams; how to spot them, and; how to protect yourself.
The most recent reports are at <http://www.macintouch.com/fraudreports7.html> but it's worth reading ALL of them, starting at a year ago at <http://www.macintouch.com/fraudreports.html> These types of 'too good to be true' eBay 'deals' have been a frequent topic, with the conclusion being that 'If it's too good to be true, then it probably is!'

More than slightly off-topic for which I apologize, but in surfing eBay for an upgrade from my present 7300, I'm seeing a number of brand new PowerBook G4s and iBook G3s (700MHZ to 1 GHZ, 40 to 60gb HDs) for sale in the $1000 range, well below retail. Example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2745613580&category=14909 .
These are middle-level and top-of-the-line machines. It seems too good to be true (and maybe it is?). Is Apple surplusing off its stock to make way for the new G5s?
