I'd like to report the attempted sale of an Intel Engineering CPU to Intel. Someone tried to link this sale in our FORUM but I have removed the sale as I believe it is illegal:

Nice found. How did he get his hands on that?
I don't know where this seller got their hands on this CPU but I personally don't like Intel Confidential material being sold in this manner.
I agree with you there.

Rick, I am fully versed in Intel ES Samples. Intel ES processors are the sole property of Intel. By that reckoning then someone is attempting to sell Intel property illegally which is why I reported it here. I just checked and it is still on ebay. Doesn't Intel want to prevent someone from stealing their property?
Hi Robert -
Thanks for your note. This issue has been referred to our corporate security team for their review.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Have a great weekend,
Rick
Thanks Rick, that is what I wanted to hear

This guy in Hong Kong is selling a number of Intel (ES) Engineering Sample X9000 mobile CPU's.
Here is a link to his eBay store and the particular sale in question.
P.S. This eBay seller is selling numerous other ES (Engineering Sample) CPUs as well.
P.S. 2 This seller appears to be using a second eBay user id to sell even more ES (Engineering Sample) CPUs.
See this link also.
