Wow, I save a lot of stuff to delicious, but I still can't find what I'm looking for...probably because I didn't save it to delicious.
So anyway, talking about ebay reminded me of a post by some smallish computer shop. One of the customers bought an APC UPS on ebay, but it didn't work. So, he brought it in for them to look at it. When they opened it up, the guts were missing. In their place, was a brick.
