It cost new about 1900$. This is the email I received like 3 times: Hello, Here is how I want to go about delivery and payment for the product which will be through SERNAM and will also give you the chance to inspect the product before I receive the payment for it. I will explain to you step by step how this will work. A. First you have to send me your shipping information (your name and address). 1. After I receive your shipping info, I'll go to a SERNAM Location and leave the product onto your name and with your address as the intended receiver. 2. SERNAM will check the product, also the legal papers to see that everything is OK with it. B. You will receive a notification from SERNAM as a confirmation that the product is in their custody and also, that the product has been tested. 1. After that, you will have to make a money transfer via Western Union on the SERNAM AGENT , as a guarantee, and send the payment information to SERNAM 2. SERNAM will verify the Money Transfer, and if everything is in order, they will deliver the product to your door step. 3. After you will receive the product and you will be completely satisfied with it, you will instruct SERNAM to release the payment information to my full name and address so I can collect my money. C. If by any reason, you will not be satisfied with the product, you will return the product to SERNAM with no expense. I will pay for shipping and you for the amount transfer.

BINGO, another scam artist caught with his hand in the cookie jar. the yahoo name/handle of this dweeb is sergio852flores and claims to be operating out of the united kingdom. i have a couple of emails saved from him and will be following up by filing a claim with the fbi site. another scam artist is supposedly located in spain. this con/scam artist goes by the name of patton_will90. first he claims to be some sort of store owner and is selling some "overstock" computers...and magically they can be of ANY configuration you want to have. this seller insists on trying to use dhl express to send the system...he'll take it to their desk and they will verify package configuration and contents. dhl will then send an email to the buyer verifying the system. then the buyer will send payment. only DIFFICULTY with this scenario is that I SPOKE WITH DHL EXPRESS (INTERNATIONAL SERVICES) AND THEY DO NOT OFFER THIS TYPE OF SERVICE. neither do ups, usps, federal express, NONE OF THE known and reputable shippers offer this service. i will keep this comment and thread updated with any and all information that i come across. new phishing report. i was contacted by a yahoo (supposed) user wanting to sell me an apple powerbook. when telling me details about transaction procedure, insisted on using SeRnam. then slipped up and clarified saying it is “SeRnam united kingdom.” i googled this SPECIFIC phrase and came upon this site.
