The better the deal, the more likely it is, I would think. If I had stolen a laptop, I would want to unload it ASAP, and would price it appropriately - after all, it's not like there's anything but pure profit for the thief either way.
Or, think of it like this: people tend to overvalue their computers compared to the market, at least in my experience (my favorite so far: P-133 w/ 15 inch monitor: $200, because it's a "good word processor computer"). If someone's selling it real low, well, that's a warning sign - either it's hot, or something's wrong with it. -DMZ On Wed, 2005-06-29 at 08:47 -0400, J.
