I usually dont PM sellers on ebay to be a besserwisser, but this drives me nuts.

RARE INTEL Pentium I "Engineering Sample" CPU IC Chip !
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380020636685

Has the auction changed after my PM? Nope...

He does not like to hear the truth, so he does not listen. He only sees the World through his eyes. I tried once to speak to him and he told me to get lost in the end.

Actually I personally know this guy... he's not all together, that's for sure Laughing

If a woman replies, it's the person selling the CPUs for him. and believe me, he KNOWS how to spot an ES. this is just him being a dirtbag.

Should be reported to eBay (false description).

But if he can get away with it.... I have a handful like that....kerching!!

And what about this? http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-1970s-Circuit-Board-w-Socketed-Intel-CPU-Chips_W0QQitemZ380020634417QQihZ025QQcategoryZ4193QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

How can he say it is full of CPU chips?! (that conspicuously empty socket should have had the 4004 ?)

Man, this guy is rapidly using up the world's supply of bullshit.
