The seller is going just a wee overboard with the description IMHO.

The keyboard is clearly filthy (not "mint mint mint")

The mouse is obviously stained from use..

Some light discoloration on the front bezel (and what looks like a possible nick in one area)

"Little old ladies" probably didn't have their A4ks fitted with toasters, either. :lol:

Original boxes may be a plus, but also no disks or manuals..

Anyway, it's still a *very* nice unit, and probably could be nearly perfect with a little care/cleanup.

I agree that the seller has embellished the description a bit and further doubt that it was owned by a "Little Old Lady", but the keyboard looks perfectly clean to me.  Perhaps it is time to clean your monitor or LCD, the dust must be sticking to the screen. :lol:



:lol: OK, maybe not filthy... looks like a little grime on the keys, though. (I'm sure whatever it is would be easily remedied with a little Plexus..;-))

LOL! I've decided that from now on, only completely ridiculous pics of myself will do for avatars.. :p

You can, but I agree they're becoming less common at that price.
