Yeah, the topic is correct, which I thought was really weird.
Anyway, I have a few things for sale on Ebay, one of which is a used motherboard(for 4th Gen. Intel), and while I was out yesterday, someone bought it, and from the timestamps of the emails, 15mins. later they requested a cancellation. While looking through the info in the emails, and via Ebay, based on the name, and the ship-to address, it turned out to be Memory Express that was apparently buying a 4th Gen. Intel board for a customer! While it's certainly not out of the realm of possibilities, it struck me as really, REALLY odd that a retailer of new hardware would go to such lengths for a customer, rather than, if said customer was dead set on buying a 4th Gen. board to replace a dead one, simply pointing that customer to Ebay to buy it themselves.
Anybody else think it's really weird, or have folks heard of this sort of thing being somewhat common?
