Okay, so I was a little bit drunk last night and decided to buy an iMac on eBay. If all goes well then I suppose I'll be happy but I'm a bit nervous. The listing is CRAP! But it is listed as being in new condition so meh. I paid £600 for the 21.5 incher, and I do need a new machine - the MacBook is getting a bit flakey these days! |

Good luck. Let us know how it arrives. I almost bough a 27" one the other day but with the dodgy gpu's I'm glad I didn't. |

Gues what - the cheeky bugger sent me a message today saying they're not willing to sell!! My winning bid was £604 and (s)he reckons it cost them £1999, it's brand new in the box and they've got the receipt. They didn't have a reserve, and I won the auction fair and square. If they had spent five minutes preparing a listing rather than just putting a one sentance description then perhaps they'd have got a higher price. Argh. |

Get on to eBay. They're being very naughty, and technically it's yours as you won the auction. |

They were probably drunk too. It’s that time of year. |

Definately report the cheeky gits! And if the £2k price tag is to be believed they must have upgraded every bit of the hardware when they bought it, no? Chancing it I reckon!

But there's nothing eBay can do. As if an e-mail or two from a faceless corporation is going to make him decide that yes he will let it go for £604. I will report him though - I just won't expect anything to come of it. |

Now I've got a Mac Mini in the post! It was sent today, and I have paid £400 for: 24" monitor New style apple keyboard Microsoft bluetooth mouse Unibrain webcam Logitech microphone The Mini itself is a 1.83 Core 2 duo model. I'm pretty pleased - and once it has arrived I'll swap hard drives over so I have more space on the Mini then flog my MacBook. How much do you reckon it's worth? It's a 1.83 duo with 2GB of RAM and 80GB HDD. Got some wear and tear on the body and the screen also. Thinking of putting a £150 reserve on. Any thoughts? |
