If it were starting at a penny, I'd be tempted to bid just for the heck of it. :P Then again, with unspecified shipping charges, maybe not...

I live relatively close to Thornhill, Ontario so if pickup were possible and the starting bid was low enough, I too would bid just to see what the guy has. Seriously though, how does someone expect to sell something with neither a description or a picture? It's ridiculous.

Here's another PC (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260121951996) from the same user which went for $152.50.

At least he described it - I wouldn't pay that much for a 486 of any description.......

heh, I have one of those lying around in my attic... almost the exact same specs. It's pretty strange to see any 486 described as a 'great gaming PC' though.

Now it says "The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing." Hmmm....

For DOS games, yes, although a DX100 would be better.
