Hey. There's this advertisement on another forum I go to, and someone has a G5 for sale, for a decent price. They don't have any references or feedback, they don't post any pictures, they registered 2 days ago and only have one post (the post in the for sale section), and their username is "powermac4utoday". Think it's a scam? I would really like to purchase a G5 soon and I can't tell if this is a scam or not.

Thanks,

- Rob

It's not a scam, go buy it NOW.

Just in case someone was watching this thread who has no idea of sarcasm and is a fairly stupid individual, are you guys being sarcastic?
