Almost can't believe someone would pay that much for this type of PC. That's like a $1000+ mark up on the price, For what? A fancy ad and knowing that a "professional pc builder" build your standard gaming computer?

To be fair after reading his shadowed font title I'd have closed the listing anyway.

 

Reading down further, the listing is so badly constructed I wouldn't want to read it either, here is a sample for people who didn't click.

His testimonials are also all bullshit because they are mostly over the feedback character limit.

I tried looking for the specs but I couldn't read that shit and couldn't be bothered to try so I closed it lol

I can't help but imagine the seller as some seedy used car salesman or a nigerian prince.

Ebay has had sellers like this for years now, I don't see how its surprising.

It does not surprise me that they exist, it surprises me that they remain in business.

 

I would not buy a PC that he has constructed, because it's evident he cannot even construct a paragraph. :D

A fair bit overpriced yes. But he does include 3 year warranty for all parts and lifetime  technical support (email/phone). :rolleyes:  To the average consumer that  all prob sounds great. He bashes oem's for overpriced hardware yet overcharged so much you could actually just buy from Ibuypower or Origin pc for that money and get something better. :lol:

He's a Nigerian Prince. How can we expect him to speak English well? Be happy you got alphanumeric characters only.

The fact that people actually paid that much when they could've built it them self for about half that makes me laugh

 

also he says it's a blue LED modified case..looks like it's just a bunch of blue LED fans

3 year warrenty from seller.

 

refresh page and you can read the parts list.

 

also if lazy i put his list in a build on pcpartpicker.  

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3dDH8d

 

its about $700 dollars in profit.  IMO hes only charging $400 more then he should.

 

also this was a bid item. more then likely this ended in a bidding war in that $700 of profit.

Wow... someone actually bought it outright at that ridiculously over charged price... At the bid it was at before someone just bought it, it would've been more or less fine.. but $2200 US for that... nooope. (Not to mention the import charge and shipping fee...)
