Absurd Craigslist Pricing

I posted this in off topic because I don't know where it would go.

I was just browsing craigslist and I decided to search up GTX 780 and see what showed up. Well, I found this....

http://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/sys/4116284692.html

And then I proceeded to find all the parts in pcpartpicker...

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/BgG286/saved/2zOt

 

On craigslist he was asking $5000, but all the parts in pcpartpicker dont even come out to $4000. This guy is out of his mind!

I wish I could do this, I live in a town full of rich dumb kids, but sadly I know none of them, except for one, but he's become a good friend and I did not rip him off, although he paid me nicely.

I don't think having a computer built is worth $1000, it's not even watercooled!

i7 860 thats some old CPU, but it's a dollar may want to pick it up and smash it and maybe find a open area to blow the PSU up

Not as bad as thinking that all that matters in a system is the amount of RAM.  ;)

 

 

And I live in a Country where people think that all that matters in a GPU is the amount of memory...

Not as bad as a country where all they care about is if it turns on...
