Purchased an 8600 laptop off ebay last Saturday and it just arrived today. I got it for $950 shipped. It is in great condition and I love it. Here are the specs http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWA:IT

WTF??

There is no way on god's green earth that laptop sold for $950.

2Ghz
WUXGA
Bluetooth AND 1450


Uhhhh, tell me you're joking. Make sure to run Everest Home Beta to confirm all of the parts. I would strip that computer apart and make sure all the parts are legit.

It has to be stolen.

That's not that unheard of. But the language in the add is weird. Glad you got it.

I was thinking the same thing about it being stolen. that config would cost like $2700 new.

You're joking, right?

Did you bother to check the specs of the computer being sold? That's a $2500 computer easy.

That is one hella sweet deal. I would run a system check via Dell's Help & Support/System Configuration and/or run Device Manager.

I trust you got a great deal and all went well. Enjoy!

That's wierd. Was Abba lying? I guess there's no other explanation. But wasn't the auction already won and over? Why would that be removed?

Well, abba?

I wouldn't expect answers from him anytime soon. Check out his other posts... people hate him in the Halo forum. it wouldn't surprise me if he was scamming on eBay and came her undercover LIKE a customer who bought one and had it to advertise how awesome it was. Douche....

whatever the deal is with Abba, that auction was too good to be true.

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Hey guys. Sorry, I have been gone all day and not been able to give any new info. I checked the device manager and installed 3D Mark 01 and it shows all of the advertised components are present. I got a score of 10313. Does that sound about right?

Why does nobody believe that I got this notebook? I showed you the ebay page where it sold and I do not know why it was taken down. Everybody on eBay had a chance to bid so it is not like he sold it specifically to me for cheap so what is the problem?
post #19 of 32
what are the specs? the ebay link obviously doesnt work any more so your post becomes sorta useless. post the specs.

i dont think i8600's are really worth that much to be honest.
my 9200 was only 1250, and it had:

PM 2Ghz
512 ram (ONE dimm)
60GB 7200 RPM HD
Intel 2200b/g wifi
Bluetooth
WXGA+ (to be honest, i dont consider the wuxga more valuable than the wxga any more. its all a matter of taste at this point)
CD-RW/DVD (who the hell really needs a DVD burner in their laptop?)

An 8600 with the same config would only be worth maybe 1000, even less on egay.
