eBay Humor - Macintosh SE "RARE Orange"

[EagleTG]

Saw this on eBay a while back, forgot to post it here. The recent thread about the TRS-80 Expansion Interface reminded me of this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Macintosh-Computer-Mac-SE-Model-M5011-800k-RARE-Orange-/222150857884

The seller lists it as "RARE Orange color"... Hahha, nice try!!

Pictures attached in case they disappear. The noteworthy one is the side shot, you can see the plastic discolored differently but equally bad between the front and back of the case.

That looks more like a really bad paint job than yellowed plastic.

It looks like the paint is starting to chip off on some of the corners of the unit.

Looking at the photo 2, it looks like this is the paint, not plastic degradation. This paint will slowly go off, I have a terminal which was painted with emulsion paint, this one used to paint walls, in the factory. The paint goes off in sheets, especially near keyboard.
But nothing compares to EIZO monitor I've seen once in furniture workshop. Before, owner used a micro and an old TV. He couldn't get used to white screen border so... he sticked every surface except screen with thin pieces of wood. Monitor remained fully functional - wooden on/off switch was working, wooden joystick button was going all directions, there were even vent slots made using thin wooden strips.

Then even more eeeeewwwww... Why would you chose this shade of orange!?!? I assumed it wasn't painted, as you'd think the front and back halves would match better.
