IF YOU RECEIVE THIS EMAIL BY MISTAKE AND NEVER SUBSCRIBED FOR OUR NEWS
PLEASE REPPLY TO THIS MESSAGE ASAP WITH A "REMOVE" IN THE SUBJECT.PLEASE
TAKE OUR APPOLOGIES FOR THE ANY DISTURBANCE THIS EMAIL CAUSED TO YOU

I went to-look at the website and they are based in Ukraine.. hmmmmm wonder if this is the real thing , it's way too cheap to be that. But if it is then that's a very good price. Anyone care to try it out!
And I have no idea how they got my email, I've never registered with them.
Sorry for the length of the post

Viktor

[bobw]

You try it out and let us know exactly how much they took you for

[Giaguara]

I would not trust a place in Ukraine unless i had relatives there and i would know good paid killers there to be used if the pb would not arrive in a reasonable time.

[mr. k]

i doubt that anyone could ship a powerbook from the ukraine to san fran in 3 buisness days... but that doesnt completely prove that this is a scam...

[chevy]

It doesn't prove anything...

When something is too good to be true, sometimes it isn't.

[Urbansory]

lol, contract killers huh Giaguara. Sounds too good to be true to me, ¿ refurbished ?
Why get a iBook when you can get a PB for that amount, they would have an overload in sells, i know I would want one.

[Dlatu1983]

Think about it...why would they sell a 1ghz PB for 1200? Even a refurbished 1ghz is in the 2200-2500 area. It's a scam.

[mr. k]

mabye some czechan rebels stole em from the russian apple store... could be a great deal, but it could be a big rip off. if i had enough money i would try it out just to see what happens but im saving for an ipod...
