Scam? M17x for £399 (DiscountGaming)

Alienware M17x Quad Core Gaming/Business Laptop NEW on eBid United Kingdom

There's the link above.
I feel so tempted to buy it after having problems with my order with dell.

I searched around the forum, and I found this: http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-m17x/560961-getting-new-m17x-r1-few-weeks-what-first.html I read the whole thing but I still can't come up with a conclusion, I mean some people got their money back (the last person that commented on that thread) Did anyone actually recieved the laptop?

but yea I just want to know what you guys think about the first link.. too good to be true? £399 for an M17x

 

looks to good to be true if you ask me. The CPU alone costs that much

Far too good to be true imo, 940xm? I think this is the kind of deal people dream about lol. Buy 10 and get 1 free, riiiight. But hey, you never know. How did this guy land 100 AW M17x's is my question haha.

 

Just look at the only ways to pay!!!
If it was legit, they would take credit cards and paypal. Those payments offer the consumer protection. The ones on this "deal" do not.
Run!!!!

 

I'd love for this to be true, but it really seems suspicious. The payment options are the biggest giveaway. If this was real, I'd buy all of them and then resell and become rich!

 

Honestly, I would only ever buy a used laptop if I could meet the seller in person, and see the laptop, run the laptop, right there in front of me. Far too many scams and ripoff artists.

Sucks that you can't really trust people anymore.

That's exactly how I bought this m17x R1 I'm typing on. Guy selling it on craigslist. Said it was only out of the box 1 time to make sure it worked. He wanted $1500 for this m17xR1, 8gb, 280sli, 9300 extreme, 1900X1280 rez, dual 500gb 7200rpm, nebula red.

Met him at his place and, he was like some sort of computer hoarder, I swear. Tiny, dumpy house PACKED to the walls with flatscreen tv's, routers, laptops, desktops, videogame consoles, ect. His computer desk was just covered with electronics, and a more Mountain Dew bottles that I can count.

He got the Alienware out of the closet, and other than a slight bit wear on the shipping box, it was flawless. Not a scratch on it anywhere. All the goodies that come with it, untouched. We ran the service build number, and it all checked out good. Checked out the system info on it, all good again.

Gave him $1400 for a laptop that was almost $5000 a couple years ago. Never would've done this if it wasn't for seeing it for myself, ya know? I can't stomach the thought of getting ripped, like so many, on ebay.

 

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!

I would not touch that with a 10ft clown pole.

 

Unless you're buying on Craiglist and can see/test the item in person, never, ever, ever buy anything from anywhere that doesn't accept PayPal and/or credit cards.

What time is that? Bull S*** Time??

If you buy one of these, I know this guy who has a great deal on icecubes from the north pole - all you have to do is pick them up yorself..... If your fast and buy all the ice at once, he might throw in antarctica for free!
