And do we all believe...

that everything is genuine on this machine and that the seller is not running a business (of sorts)

The seller may be running a business, that is not a issue. What is however is that there is no COA on this machine.

Also pre installed, and fully activated office 2010 professional plus?, cheapest full version (after a quick google), is £450!

That is a major no no, as far as I am concerned. Also if the seller is a business, why are they installing ide drives, and not sata on this machine?
