    I am a little surprised thou,.... Why is the guy giving a keyboard and mouse with it. Morever, there seems to be no built in wireless card. But a new hard drive and 1GB RAM somewhat covers the deficiency,..

    The specs seem a little bare. Tiny does business and home laptops. But the weird thing is the busieness laptops are way better than the home ones at the same price.

    Probably the business doesn't care about the extra 20 bucks they can get of their item,...when they are doing clearnce.

    Bad news,... My firend still havsn't recieved his laptop yet, although his check has been cashed.
    The seller is also not replying to any of his mails.
    I told him to wait, as the person is a POWER SELLER on ebay and has done much business on it. However, on seeing one of his recent negative remarks from a buyer, regarding his payment of USD 8,000 for which he hasn't received his product (a coin :confused: ), I think (pretty much sure) that the guy has packed up his business and before leaving thought of earning some $$ through other means.
    $650,... down the drain,..... :(

    How long since it’s been cashed? Your friend should still be able to cancel the payment! I've heard of people who have received cheques after even one month they have bounced! I.e. the money taken back!

    Usualy sellers tend to sell small items for good feedback, and then one day decide to sell something big! its always a risk you take on ebay, so far its been good for me though!

    eBay insures all transactions as long as they take place in eBay auctions, not in "back alley" deals. So, you may be able to get the money back from eBay!

    I didn't suffer any loss,... my friend did.
    Once a check is cashed,... the money is gone,...I am not aware of any retrival process after that.
    I recommended him to wait some more as for some buyers, their product came in about 1 or 2 months. It is better to wait some more and then leave a negative feedback (Like i would do any good).
    Really man!!! if the laptops doesn't come, it would be a real blow regarding the credibility of Ebay. For Gods sake,.. the person was a POWER SELLER, and if you can't trust a power seller, whom can you trust???? :confused:
