i found an interesting auction at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3017475874&category=11712
in his "about us" section he describes his business like this: "CA Service is an authorized reseller and service center for Hewlett Packard......" but in the item description he says "This is untested it is missing the battery and battery cover it appears to be new, but i have no way to test it so i have to sell it AS IS".
so, do we have an hp service center that can't install three button cells to test a unit that doesn't even have a battery compartment door in the way or a weasel for a seller?
btw: hidden in the verbage is an $8 shipping fee for a $4 stamp. a bio-engineered weasel?
