You've got to be kidding. You think this scammer is going to pay his listing fees? With anything other than a stolen credit card? Nope, auctions like this hurt eBay immeasurably.
17 bids and counting - its up to $929.88. How will we find out whether we've just walked past a great deal (even if it was knock-off stock) or if we can s****** complacently?
EDIT: The word the MacRumors Bad Word police have zapped is a word that means "a smothered or half=suppressed laugh". The asterisks are a very bad word indeed. I am not guilty!

I sent the following report to Ebay. There is a "Report this item" link but its a little screwy to chase it down to the point where you actually get to write in your complaint. I suggest others do the same. Save some poor sucker a few grand:
The price is now at a bit over $2000. Consider that nobody would sell a brand new Quad 3.0 GHz Xeon with 16 GB RAM, 3000GB of harddisk space and two 30" screens for that money unless it is stolen. So either the computer doesn't exist, or it is stolen. In the first case, you lose your money. In the second case, anyone who had recently that kind of computer stolen from them will look at eBay, and if YOU win the auction, you WILL be traced and you WILL be prosecuted because you HAD to know that it was stolen.
On the other hand, why would anyone still a Mac and sell it on eBay when they could much easier sell one that doesn't exist?
That's ********. The worse case scenario is the computer and monitors will be confiscated, leaving you with nothing but a lighter wallet.

Merry Christmas, authentic_design. In 3 hours and 42 min, Santa's got a $2075 lump of coal with your name on it. Poor b*st*rd.
Or, maybe, you're gonna have the fastest classic apps on the planet.

You have to be a member in order to report fraudulent items. And since I think eBay is the dumbest frickin' site on the net, I refuse to register. If someone here has an ID I sure hope you report it.

someone should contact the current highest bidder and talk some sense into them. Clearly Ebay could give a ****.
