So I've been listing some CPU's on eBay this week, four models so far, around 15 total units.. Within 2-3 minutes of posting each listing, I start receiving messages from multiple accounts offering to pay ~90% my asking price with immediate payment. Some accounts seem legit, with several hundred feedback. There are 0 feedback accounts as well that appear to have been opened just a day or two before, but the account profiles have been filled out with legitmate looking photos and descriptions.
Anyone else experience this? Are these just bots scraping the new listings?

You got any E5v2s for sale?

I do have an E5 1620 v2.
There is a massive processor grey market, OP.
If you check their location, they should all be from the same area. They're the same people, or groups using multiple accounts to throw you similar offers to "stimulate" you towards accepting an offer. They, however, buy your processor for a few bucks below market price and sell it back to IT distributors at a huge mark up alongside a "warranty"
They're all legit though and they always pay quick; just in case you're concerned if they're fake.

Nah, I need 2S.
