This prank is a couple years old so please forgive me if this has circulated here before. (I'm much, much too lazy to do a search right now
and I have to use the loo.) (Overshare, I know.) (Deal with it.)
The basic story is, this guy put a real Powerbook up for auction on eBay. A scammer sent tried to weasel it from him. Much fun and hilarity ensued.
It's a
multi-page read, but very much worth it, IMO. Be sure to look closely at the pictures of the "computer" and it's various parts.
