    This guy has almost 4000 listings active right now; I'm not surprised he slipped up and forgot to finish editing the text on any one of them, like this one which he obviously recycled from an auction for a Gateway part.

    Instead of pointing fingers and laughing, I usually just drop the seller a note; I have a "canned response" for this kind of thing that takes literally 10 seconds to cut/paste & send. You'd be amazed how often the seller replies with genuine thanks; that can be a nice surprise for yourself.

    I can echo this. Most of the time I get a nice "thanks" back.

    i did that at the time of looking at that, probably he will change it soon.
    also I did leave at least 3 messages to other sellers who are selling toughbook on Ebay that their listings have issues as: wrong total RAM, wrong total USB ports... (all that I learned from this forum)

    the purpose of posting this here not for against the seller, just random picking some ads of CF-29 that I just found on Ebay.

    absolutely, I found that many of sellers don't know exactly what they are selling. And some of them even never reply to our questions about technique information of that laptop, even if they post it wrong in the ad.
