so this might relate to alot of people. Have you come across a great deal and wish you had the money or even if you did get a good deal what was it.
I was searching through ebay looking for a new Mac G5 and a mmonitor. I found a 30" monitor with a dual 2.5Ghz PowerMac for 1400 dollars. I didn't get the money in time and am kicking myself in the ass. That is the most amazing deal I have ever seen. Anyone else come across anything like that?

Kmart was not traded for a time due to chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Oh boy.... if you really thought you would get a 30" display AND a DP2.5 PowerMac G5 for $1400 then you may wanna consider getting professional help. It's so obvious it's scam that it saddens me people still fall for it.

I had a chance to buy an awesome 69 Camaro for $3,500 ten years ago.

Well regardless of whether it was a scam or not I didn't get it and it would have been a killer deal. Besides I haven't and dont plan on buying anything off of ebay. Just selling.

That G5 and a 30" monitor sounds like it might just be too good to be true.

I didn't buy a Roland TB303 for $60 about three days before they become popular and starting selling for $1,000+. Wasn't happy about that.
