Not only that but the loser:

- Voided his warranty so it's not even valid to transfer.
- For $1,299 you can have a 14" with a Superdrive, same Ram, Full Warranty, 60GB HD, Airport Extreme w/ bluetooth...
- 1.42 Ghz

He is selling it for more than he could otherwise, so why not.

Not to worry. It's eBay after all - some looney somewhere will buy it.

I'm wondering if this is a task for the upcoming "Apprentice" series. Sell The Donald's iBook!

But this Apprentice team messed up by NOT mentioning in the eBay listing that this iBook once belonged to you-know-who!

Shooting * IS probably going on right now.


EDIT: * And firing!

Of course he did it himself. It's disgusting. I was just saying that not everyone finds such a job to be so horrendous.

OK, haha, yah I get that some people like to paint and mod their iBooks and I think that's cool. Sometimes it even looks nice. I once saw a flowerpower iBook... kinda creepy. That's one thing... this is just an iBook that's been defiled on sale.. entirely different barrel of monkeys.

This I'd be much more inclined to purchase. Actually, not more inclined. Interested at all. That gold thing is ugly.

colour prejudice [geddit?!!!] aside - i'd most definitely buy a big money item like a laptop, from a seller with zero feedback who's been an ebay member for less than a week!

No kidding. My original Zelda cart is still nice-looking gold. That thing looks like his dog got frisky with it or something.

Agreed, I have to say this is probably one of the only Macs I would EVER not want to own...

Though I imagine you might be able to clean the crap off it...
