AMD Athlon XP-M 2800+ Processor
Free HP Wireless 6840 Printer

(didn't mention a video card, thus it is probably
crap)

Any comments would be great. Thanks

Similar to mine.

Athlon 64 1.8 GHz with same RAM/HD/DVD/CDRW XP Home and all but HP refurbed (looks new to me) all the CDs to restore and 3 month warranty. And it's a widescreen too.

You'll see a lot of this now. So it's more the norm than the exception. Plus mine came from a business I've bought from for years and not any Ebay/private seller.

Or one of those rip-off artists. Tell more about the seller.

Instant death to this deal are danger signs such as "new in box" and there are pictures show it out of the box and not wanting to use Ebay's money system but Western Union. Hint: that's a scam.
