I got a questions for you guys.

Originally i was planning to wait till april when prices on intel chips dropped, but i saw a few days ago in my local caigslist a guy was selling a few 6700s for 400 dollars.

He's says there new oem chips. I called him today and asked him why he's selling them and he says he got a deal on them and was selling them to make a profit. Something he just does on the side.
He says he use to sell parts one ebay awhile back but didn't like the hassel so he doesn't use ebay anymore. I asked him for his username so i could check out feedback but he said he canceled his account awhile ago.

Anyways i got him down to 325 and he said if i have any problems with the chip i can bring it back to him assuming it wasn't my fault.


What do you guys think?
 
If you were planning on waiting for quad core, don't get this. And if he doesn't have any feedback thats kind of :eek: .
 
heh, i dont trust strangers with that much money. its up to you. and if you do, bring a system with you, to test and make sure the cpu even works. through craigslist, theres nothing protecting you (as the buyer) from getting scammed. at least with ebay and paypal, you could get your money back if its doa.

It's been a while but I believe dead accounts can still be "searched" on ebay (for feedback).

Spend your money with a reputable e-tailer! The old addage "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" applies.

Unless of course you have tons of cash to spend and don't mind throwing away $325.00

Got a deal... originally asking $400, you got him down to $325... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: he's already lost $75.00 worth of "profit", and still willing to sell them to you for $325.00 and he's still making a profit??? Cheapest I can find them for online is $524.00 (but that is retail... the HSF must be made of silver). Make sure to get a kiss or two before you bend over to get screwed.

If you buy that chip, get back with me via PM, I've got a bridge in NYC I'm looking to sell.... CHEAP!!!!! (also available, PRIME swamp land in NJ)
