Well, just about anyone with any computer sense will notice that it's a total scam. For one, it's a geocities website. Two, when you click certain links, it links you to his personal geocities sites.

Yes, those are his list of "scams".

Come on guys, use your noodle.

Let's see, the seller has been a member since August, ships worldwide, and wants $2900?

If it's too good to be true...
