it has like Alienware (3.8ghz p4, 2gb ddr2 ram, geforce go 6800) laptops for like $1600 and im just seeing if any of you know if its a scam maybe?

edit the comma out from your link, it will work better.
I breifly checked the site, no red flags jumped out at me.

The guy lives in the UK, has a yahoo email and only accepts bank transfers, any advice? i see these things as signs of scams on alienware laptops on ebay all the time, idk...

RED FLAG RED FLAG
Money transfers out of the country raise a red flag everytime.

if they only accept money transfer/wire it is usually a scam. Especially if its out of the country!
