Hi,

This is all very mysterious. The shipping cost is very high for a lap-top
unless it is going to the third-world.

My view is that buying a laptop on E-bay is like buying a laptop from a guy
(excuse the sexist reference) on the street corner. Be aware that the
computer:

May not be as represented.
May have problems.
Possibly stolen.
Possibly even non-existent.

Regards,

Vic M.
