[OLPC-Philippines] OLPC XO-1 being listed in TipidPC.com, hopefully not from Contributor's program

[James Shields]

Are the serial numbers tracked?  That might be one way to find out who sold
this.

Hi Jerome,

I hope this is not.. this is not good not only for the cause but for us
Filipinos.  We have a couple of contributors program that's been approved
and never heard about them.

Do you have a way of exploring this? Just to find out...the quote 'I bought
it  from a former OLPC pinoy developer' we don't have much XO floating
around aside from the Contributors Program...well not that I know of.

Thanks for bringing this up.

The listing said: "hard to find collector's item. i bought it from a
former OLPC pinoy developer last December 2010."

I hope this is not a unit that came from the Contributor's Program.
Even if this is an old XO-1 unit, the Contributor's Program is built
on trust and contribution. Therefore it is not ethical to sell
something that was entrusted to the recipient with the hope that the
free laptop program will result into something good.
