Doesn't surprise me. I've seen this particular person pimp many items on
ebay without any clue as to what exactly they are selling. All they know
is "hey, old computers are hot collectables" and just stick them up on
ebay with half-assed descriptions. The lame part is people buy the crap
for inflated prices anyway, thereby encouraging their behavior.

Worse they give
the specs of Megan's system, not the one they're trying to
auction off. Who knows what they're trying to auction off! Wonder if they
realize just how souped up Megan's system is.
Wow... you're right... they appear to have copied the description
for *my* pdp-11/23+ verbatim. I've sent them mail that they should
halt the auction immediately as they are misrepresenting their item.
They need to examine the 11/23+ they are trying to sell and figure
out what it really has....
