Would attempting to purchase this be risky or is it safe to procede? Is this a scam or maybe someone trying to flip stolen goods?

shits worth 400-500. could be legit
> need gone ASAP
Definitely stolen. And if not, you’re gonna get stabbed in an alley. I probably wouldn’t risk it.
Ex girlfriend
Might be stolen, maybe broken. Bring a friend for backup if they try to scam you, maybe a portable battery to test it or ask to test before payment
My local PD has internet sale parking spots at police substations and that’s where I meet for transactions like these
Probably a scam. Could be stolen but the extremely low price makes me think scam.
Both
If stolen just buy it
Many of these posts, the first thing I do is check the sellers profile. Many times the accounts are new, barely a week old and they have 0 photos or friends. Almost always for ridiculously priced things it’s a scam on a fake account. They will ask you to make a deposit to “hold” the item to make sure you’re a serious buyer. Of course if you haven’t figured it out yet, they give you a fake address and run off with your deposit. It’s not just computer stuff, it’s literally anything they scam people with on this.
SCAM OR STOLEN I DUNNO GUYS SHOULD I SEND IT?
I saw a post similar to this with my same specs the same case n everything 2 days after someone stole everything in my house…
Police ended up helping, thing that never happens in my country (polices actually doing smthn)
Bro take it from a brotha whos been scammed, if it seems like “no way this is real,” it most likely is not. The only exceptions I make to this rule now is if I buy it on amazon or a store so that I can return it if it was not what I originally thought it was

Stolen, scam or dude just thinks the entire 1700 is dying so he wants to get rid of it while it’s still working without knowing the real value of 12th gen nowadays.
Yes
Could be a scam or somebody wants to sell fast.
scam
I say go for it, I would. I wouldn’t have cash on me, and I’d bring my gun. But I’d go for it…
its not stolen its just a scam
i have seen SOOO many of these types of listings
you message them and they say oh heres a link to buy it and its just a scam link that steals your card information
or its a weirdo who just wants to fuck with you
Yes
Scam. It’s also formatted too well to be stolen, especially for that price in just about any area. People would drive 60+ miles and gladly spend double that same day pickup. If it was stolen, it would be something like Gamer Computer, and idk what it has, but it’s good to come pick up near the mobile home park.
Dude needs drugs
When in doubt, don’t.
Yes.
Probably disgruntled wife/girlfriend trying to get rid of it to suck up all of their partners attention
Seems to detailed and knowledgeable about Hardware to be stolen in my opinion.
I doubt a thief would know a whole lot about that stuff
One of the 2 for sure but my guess is that thing is very hot. “Need gone ASAP” before the owner or the police see it
Stolen, a child’s, or busted.
If you show up you’re either A) getting robbed, or B) taking ownership of stolen merchandise
If you can’t answer the question “Why don’t they want more money?” very well, it’s a scam.
You can meet at your local police department if concerned. $200 price tag is almost too good to be true.
Reminds me of a night I was walking to work almost 20 years ago and some bros were running across the street street and trying to peddle off something they clearly stole.
“You want this compruter? 20 dollas compruter?”
Just look at his name, it’s definitely stolen lol
It could even be a clone of a genuine ad so a scam..Someone did that to one of my ads once.
Naw, just an intell pc
Seems about right for a PC with 8GB VRAM in 2024.
$900 to $200
“Need gone ASAP” ??
If thats not stolen then this dude definitely has something to hide on there, or maybe a scam. Sketchiest thing i have seen in a while
