I have a Dell XPS 1710 loaded down nicely and I love it

I bought it on Ebay a few months back for $2900 on Ebay fully loaded. The same laptop on Dell's site was over $4000 (at the time I got mine), NOT including the tax. -

I guess that Ebay can scare people due to the amount of money being dished out, but sometimes the savings are VERY tempting. The seller I bought from had 1100 (99.7%) feedback, so I trusted him.
