i cant say im much of an apple fan, but this is too funny. from the pages of engadget…an ebay seller, thisisjeff, had put up his powerbook for sale when he realized that he was being scammed by a buyer in europe with a stolen account. so in retaliation, he decided to scam the scammer. instead of sending the powerbook as the scammer was hoping, he sent him a p-p-p-powerbook…a souped-up 3-ring binder with a super-flat screen, ultra light-weight construction, and a bluetooth laser-mouse…shweeet. he also marked the value of the p-p-p-powerbook at full cost, so the scammer would have to pay full duties (£350) to have the package released before it was even delivered. thisisjeff posted the prank to a the awful forums…and a member from the area subsequently staked out the place of delivery as the package was delivered and took pics. heee-larious. so check out the photos, and follow the thread as tension builds up to the moment when, upon delivery, one of the guys asks…”is it broken?“
