How much does it cost to use an escrow service for $850? And are you, the buyer, willing to pay for that cost?

It sounds like there are a few people interested in this computer. I don't know how often the seller comes to TG, so it might be a good idea to email him your questions, everyone!

An escrow for $850 would cost around $60, and for the price he's offering on the comp, I think the buyer would be more than happy to pay that.

I wonder if he still has the original packaging...

I sent him an email, maybe he'll post his answers here

It's actually kinda pricey for that rig.

WITH a 20" Sony monitor??? AND shipping??? It's actually a hell of a deal...

It could use another gig of memory, and WinXP Pro, but other than that, it's a pretty nice machine.

**Livin4Real** · 11-23-2005, 10:21 AM

ah, missed the monitor part. Not too shabby then.

**Rincewind** · 11-23-2005, 01:49 PM

Apparently he sold it already.

thanks for the heads up, how did you find TG?

**Rampage** · 01-31-2006, 04:43 PM

Glad I didn't pursue this very far. The deal seemed quite a bit too good to be true, and it appeared his first visit to TG was to post this great item.

**Zephyr** · 02-01-2006, 11:09 PM

There is a big lesson in this thread, one that shouldn't be overlooked by anyone. I hope this bobhope guy sticks around with us though, maybe this community can help offer him compensation for his lost cash through great gaming.
