Periodically I set aside a few days to research binders online. Mostly I’m trying to figure out what our competitors are doing online but also how well our website is showing up on search engines.
Binders being what they are, a search for “custom ring binders” yields a predictable enough result. Knowing that, I was considerably intrigued when I found a link displaying this picture:
Apparently a fellow going by the name Jeff, was attempting to sell his used Apple Powerbook on Ebay.com. According to a forum thread posted by Jeff himself, he eventually received an email from a potential buyer in the UK who wanted to buy the computer but send payment via an escrow account.
Believing the seller to be a scammer, Jeff instead shipped him the decidedly custom binder pictured above. Read the full story here: http://ohinternet.com/P-p-p-powerbook!!!.
Having read both the Ohinternet.com story and the original forum thread, I am not completely sure who was being scammed here. But one thing I do know is that that “P-p-p-powerbook” is one amazing custom ring binder.
