well. i checked the home phone number, it is infact in Union City, NJ. (where the auction says the seller is). i called that home number before, guy picked up,said she will be home at 7 or 8pm
so it is infact a home number
and i checked hte adddress its a real address
oh and no way i can get the 15 PB from apple.com refurbished, 30 business day shipping. looks like im stuck taking my chance on this one

i was once scammed by someone out of $400 for an ibook. i had a valid phone number and home address for him but it didn't seem to help. eventually, the guy was prosecuted and i got my money back, but most aren't so lucky. be careful
im not in a big rush, im gonna hope that youre all wrong and that something new comes out if not.. then no loss to me
but if i do order now, and somethin does come out, then i do lose
Don't forget, since WWDC is less then a week away if they do release new powerbooks you can return yours for $300 restocking fee and you can get the new Powerbook G5 myth update since you are in the 10 days.

Just tell him that you suspect him of fraud, and that if he wants to do anything about it, he can contact eBay.

Don't cancel. No updates of Powerbooks especially with the G5 is coming. They just updated the powerbooks.
but if i do order now, and somethin does come out, then i do lose
