OK, Here's a rare (and odd) opportunity!

I'm putting together 2 PCs - an Athlon XP 2100+ for myself, and a
top-of-the-line 2700+ system for a family friend. I placed the order for all
the components (at a major online retailer) two days ago, including the
processors, just before he unexpectedly (and kindly!) offered to cover the
difference in price so that I could get a faster processor in my system as
well - his way of saying thanks! I haven't told him yet that I've ordered it
already, and would like to see if I get any decent offers for the chip over
the next two days while I'm waiting for it to arrive in the mail! I should
receive it tomorrow afternoon or Thursday at the latest.

Its a retail packaged, AMD Athlon XP 2100+, comes with an AMD recommended
heatsink and fan & with a 3-year warranty. Your warranty will start the same
time as I give it to you! And you save money on shipping, and the hassle for
looking for a reliable, safe e-tailer etc etc plus whatever you can bargain
off its value from me :). Also, if you do your research, the next faster
processor is the 2200+ which actually costs over 50% more than this one. So
as for bang for the buck, nothing beats this chip, and it will likely remain
the best 'value' high end processor for many more weeks! So if you're
putting together or upgrading a system that is 'almost' cutting edge, but
the greatest deal on price - this is the perfect chip for you! Also, if
you're into overclocking or something like that, this is one of the most
stable chips out there, accordingly to all reports!

If I receive any sensible offers (hey, this is as good as buying it brand
new yourself!), that don't make me lose more than, say, 10% of the value of
the chip (so I'm offering a 10% discount!) - I WILL sell it! But you
literally have only 2 days to make me the offer! Otherwise I'll just plunk
it into my remaining components to make my own PC. I will not sell it once
its opened - but if I have a good offer, I won't even open it. You get it
sealed!

I'm purposely not naming a price - find the best price for this chip that
YOU can online (or locally) - include shipping and/or tax as applicable, and
make me an offer of 90% of that total. Send me the link to confirm. And you
get instant gratification, while I get to wait a further 6-7 days for a
faster, more expensive processor to be shipped to me :)

I'm in the Herndon/Reston area of NoVA, and you can pick this up, or I will
deliver locally.

Snap this one up, people! Those in the know should know a good deal when
they see it - come share in my good fortune, eh? ;-)
