I happen to live about an hour away from where the person who is holding
this auction lives (Santa Cruz) I wrote him an email saying I'd be
interested in bidding on the auction but first I'd like to come and take
a look at the computer first hand. This was about 3 days ago, they have
ignored my email. If anyone /does/ win this auction I would highly
recommend you use an escrow service - and even then if you get the
computer have it checked out by a professional to make sure it is legit.
