Exactly.  The greatest source of fraud on the internet is involved
with AUCTIONS.  2 out of 3 fraud complaints have an auction
transaction involved.  Not to mention that Gateway warranty is
NON-TRANSFERRABLE, and goes to the ORIGINAL PURCHASER ONLY.  On a
laptop, that is suicide, regardless of any "perceived bargain" IMHO.
