The computer is the magnificent Mephisto Bavaria board with the Vancouver 32 bit modules as is well known ,the Bavaria board is one of two dedicated computers to offer complete piece and color recognition why suspicious? well the price for one thing..the opening price was set at nearly $2400(2000 Euro) on a 10 day auction and there already 1 bidder this is already much too high for a Bavaria board with the not so rare VAN 32 modules IMO a mint in original box Bavaria should sell for no more then 1000-1250 Euro.. tops add another 200-250 for the module so we are already 400-500 Euro over the top price also ,why even bid so early on a highly priced auction like this? there is no advantage to do so i mean its not like someone is going to get the seller to go "around" ebay for a higher price.its already over priced both seller and bidder have very few completed transactions and the bidder is an Ebay member for only 6 weeks i of course could be wrong in my suspicions but my gut dosent like this at all http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40855&item=5217852279 Skeptical Regards Steve
