The price is outrageous but it could very easily still work with a damaged IHS.

Dell Dimension XPS P100 mislabeled as 486, $115, HDD missing, seller might don't know about the Dell model (seems to not differentiate between 486 and Pentium socket, doesn't know about Dallas RTC chips)

Werid, said 486 DX-2 100 at the time i found it, maybe the seller updated the listing?

Yeah, it said 486 before. The seller has made two revisions to the listing in the past 24 hours.
EDIT: Also the description has been changed. When I read this earlier this morning the seller had a little blurb about him thinking there was a 486DX 100 in there.

What confuses me, is what kind of pentium is it? That looks like the socket 4 board, but he shows a socket 5 cpu.

Whoa - after the Takky Color Classic failed to sell for $5,000, the seller did the reasonable thing and raised the price to $7,500 🤣

But these prices are justified because "This is an exclusive premium auction" 🤣 🤣

Wow that seller is a nut - the list of terms and conditions are hilarious. I'd love to list them all here but unfortunately:

"Auction pictures and descriptions, including these terms and conditions, are copyright protected by the seller. All cases of plagiarism and unauthorized reproduction of seller's materials will be investigated and dealt with severely."

Life? Don't talk to me about life.

I say we spam the dude with a bunch of super lowball offers.

I've been looking at the other items he has for sale and, as expected, there are a lot of insane prices there! Like this 48MB memory module for $5000! 7 "sold" so far.

EDIT: the modules sold for around $100 - $150. Still overpriced, but not to the extent of the BIN price.

Yeah, but it should show up in his item history in the seller dashboard at least I would think.

So what this "person" is doing is wanting to just have people make him out-right offers instead of doing an actual auction or buy-it-now.

Seems like a super dumb way to go about it, but whatever.

If I see something stupid like that I generally don't even bother looking at the sale in the first place.
