Will you accept escrow? If so, I'll start it off with a 30 BTC bid.

I would recommend serious buyers think twice about offering on this laptop, as someone is selling the same one on that above website (same photos, description, etc) for twice the price he's asking here. Although that alone doesn't make it a scraper-scam, it does leave an interesting question: why would anyone buy this without calling the provided phone number on the listing above and making sure it's really OP?

Twice thought. Bid retracted.

Good find, so what's the trick to finding recycled ads? A lot of you guys are getting pretty good at finding old craigslist ads with the same pictures. Are you just doing a google search for the listing description and hoping they just copy pasted the whole thing?

1) Go to http://images.google.com
2) Click the little camera icon in the text box
3) Paste the image URL of the scammer's
4) Look how many hits you get, paying attention to "Find other sizes of this image". This image was only used once apparently, but it's still yet to be seen if it's the same seller. I would call and confirm with the number to get this guy labeled as a scammer if it's not him.

Wait, let me take a wild guess:  This guy also posts in 1) Lending asking for a loan, or 2) Money Exchange asking for transactions in PayPal or Moneypack.  If either are true, it's a guaranteed scam.

Nice, I didn't know google had a search by image function. Thanks for staying on top of these guys!

It depends on what you mean by search by image.(yes I knew about images.google.com)  If I'm understanding the functionality Matthew explained correctly, it sounds like google is actually analyzing the contents of the image and looking for matching images. A simple binary comparison wouldn't be sufficient since there may be multiple images out there with different compression rates. That's pretty cool and I didn't know about it. I knew the google mobile app let you take pictures and search by image so the technology was there, but let's face it, most computer users are too stupid to know how to copy and paste a fully qualified link to an image, lowering the demand for that type of application.

Actually you could also
Drag the image to search bar to search
Upload the image from local file to search
