You certainly got the better end of the deal on the PSP - X32 deal
That's so cute! A super computer eh? At the beginning I thought the guy was full of it (he had an x rated email name), but he was actually a very sweet older man who worked in Chelsea. He seemed well to do and probably would rather have something he could enjoy than try to sell it and be aggravated as I will surely be soon LOL. Thanks for the compliment. As for red paper clip guy, that seemed so unrealistic because it seemed he got famous half way through and then people started to make there trades with him to be part of it. Just my 2 cents though.

Congrats! After paying all the fees (eBay and PayPal) and postage, what's your net profit? $830?

It's about $30 to ebay and I'm not using paypal, so maybe $870. Not bad, but again, I'm cynical until i have cash in hand. Thanks for the well wishes.

Well, it sold for $900 plus $80 shipping to Korea. Got paid and for the most part all went well. Except for paypal limiting my account again. I refuse to use them anymore...

Why did they limit your account?

800 should be a good price range .... X60 core solo is 1k$ and new with warranty, you might beat x31 and x40, but you can't win over an x60

I'm assuming that the OP has a personal PayPal account which has a maximum limit on how much money can be received in a month. IIRC, my own account is limited to $500/mo. That's one of the reasons why I had to also setup a "premier" account with PayPal. Doing that eliminates the monthly limit as well as provides receipt of credit card funded payments. However, the downside to that account is that PayPal then charges a fee for any transaction.

The OP's X32 was already sold, for $900.
