I'm selling a Apple G4 PowerBook for my friend on ebay. Here's the main part of the discription:

You are bidding on my 19 day old G4 Powerbook. This was purchased for a project that fell through. When I tried to return it, I was informed of a 10 day limit for returns!

Your new laptop comes with its original box, all of its documentation, all of its original accessories, and the blue tooth mouse.

Laptop Details: (blah blah blah) Free Shipping yadda yadda yadda

The next day I get this:

Hello I am very interested in your unit. I would like to know your best price to buy it now and if you ship international. I am in London UK right now. I would also want to know the condition of the unit. Please let me know I am very interested. Thank you in advance

It happened. He had a top of the range Sony Vaio and I was working in Wembly (roofing). two of them sat in the front and he handed me the laptop bag after I watched him put the laptop in and I handed him £250. He drove off and I hid the potatoes in the van while I finished up. Jumped in the van with excitement and opened up the bag.... Looked at my partner and used a couple of expletives but laughed.... Nothing i could do and took it on the chin. I know what ****** are like and yet I chanced it. :D

This was about 12 years ago.

When I got done, I decided to drown my sorrows by getting drunk and chucked the bag and spuds in the bin (the landlady got them out).They were turned into chips in my local pub on a pool night (home team does food) but I didn't have any. They were 59p a bag (the cheeky ******* even left the price tags on).

No shizzle, if / when it turns up will do a video. Delivery driver should be my former cricket coach (Hermes driver now) so guess he won't mind.

Is there an ending anywhere? As at the end of the PDF they are still waiting to hear back from the scammer

If you google 'p-p-p-powerbook' read the Encyclopedia Dramatica entry; from memory that is the most complete outside of the SA forums if you're not a member there.

Definitely DO NOT go on ED if you're at work though. It's the archetype for 'NSFW' and some articles fit into 'NSFHC' (not safe for human consumption).
 
Your certainly a braver man than me. Hope it's all legit mate, can't wait to see the vid either . . . . . can you post the link to the vid in the 1st Post, so I don't spoil the surprise by having to read through the comments to find the link . . .
