Okay NO ONE is allowed to snicker over how much I pay for lil bits of connecting plastic pieces when some asshat will pay more for a laptop than I would on a motorcycle.

Some people *seriously* need to get their priorities in order.

You know, I could buy a PT Cruiser for that amount...

I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was no payment made. The number of zero-feedback bidders automatically makes this auction suspect for shilling. No apparent smoking gun, but still fishy looking. The number of bids canceled adds to the smell.

I'm wondering if Alienware will resubmit the auction if the buyer does end up not paying. (- The auction itself is valid. Alienware made a big deal of advertising the auction on thier website. -)
