weird 15"? matte macbook pro

[appleguy123]

ok i was looking on ebay for a 15 inch 2.53 macbook pro under 2k. but this one popped up it was advertised as 2.53ghz stock. up i look at the pictures and saw this surprisingly

can someone tell me if this is a matte 15" macbook pro or is it in-fact the 17" antiglare?
oh wait the ebay link http://cgi.ebay.com/15-Macbook-pro-Unibody-Glossy-2-53-Processor-320gb_W0QQitemZ250431269132QQcmdZViewItemQQptZApple_Laptops?hash=item3a4edde90c&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1257%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1308%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

The listing states it has a high gloss display. The camera angle doesn't show the reflection.

i know it says that but look at the pics it has a gray bezel

I think it's a 17 incher, but it's very hard to tell because there's no standardized object in the picture to compare.

heres one the water bottle. what do you guys think?

it's a 17", look at the box shot and you can see 17" written on the box top.

You can tell it's a 17" by the size of the speaker grills and the thickness of the framing above the keyboard.

That too...

Always go by the description.

If you look at the sellers recent feedback, you will see that he sold a 17" antiglare for $3500. Also notice that another buyer in his feedback mentions the description/picture discrepancy.

This guys seems to do this for a living and I think he entices people with the pictures.

I just noticed that too. I think the seller simply mixed up the photos he has.

Isn't this simply scamming buyers? The funny thing is a 17inch MBP would be worth more than the 15 inch. Sometimes ebay amazes me...

Things like this are oh so common on eBay. Unfortunately, there out buyers out there that are to be had, and sellers like this know it.

Yeah. 98% of the world's business should switch to OS X!

 

[Apple Architect]

blah blah blah

Yeah. 98% of the world's business should switch to OS X!

98% of the WORLDs business (by some made up metric) is outside america and does not run on Windows (or at least legal copies of windows).....most in America runs on Windows 2000..lol

Yeah, but they also don't run OS X- which was more the point.

If you look further down the page, it also states that it is "MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Resolution Antiglare Widescreen Display", which does not exist. This person is either very misinformed or trying to pull some sort of fast one on buyers

Given that he made a faulty post on craigslist as well (thats obviously a scam) i'm will go with a combination of the later and the former mostly the later.
