Obvious use of illegally downloaded software to sell a laptop.

I assume that ebay *should* remove this auction correct?

Ebay item: 4124828502

(I won't post a link as an advertisment for the A-Hole.). Just an observation I guess.

I got a warning recently when I sold a Powerbook G3 and said that I'm including a copy of the Powerbook OS CD since the real copy was scratch but also provided.

Oh well it's ebay. We could find a million examples.

I agree. I love how he uses the retail value of the Software as a major selling point, yet refuses to divulge that the reason he's not including the original software is becasue he didn't pay for it.

Oh well, he'll still only get the retail value of the laptop. Nobody is that stupid to bid more then the laptops worth for the software. Maybe then Some of those companies whose software he is selling can contact him and demand payment or proof of original CD's.
