    can you post a link to the item you're looking at, that would be really helpful, don't buy from anyone that doesn't have a good seller rating and positive feedback.

    yes, for the XPS Gen 2 that is cheap...if that is an XPS only, then I would pass the deal. The XPS has been replaced with the Gen 2 and with the coupons out there right now, you could a new system for maybe a couple of hundred more.

    Like, you met him on ebay and are buying all this stuff outside ebay's system? Just curious because scammers are rampant, and the phrase "too good to be true" comes to mind. But if you've already received the 700m's and 6000 from him, then nevermind :) That XPS2 sounds like a good deal otherwise.

    yeah u can get it at that price easily if you shop outlet + coupon... sometimes outlet items are new, some are refurb... so the seller probably got it at a lower price point than that then...

    I'd recommend waiting for something that will last you a bit longer. Personally, I think this is a bad time to buy, though I know there are many who would disagree.
