Looking at his completed listings, he's already sold three of them. And even more surprising, judging by the other items he's sold it actually looks legit.
Ha. If it were possible to remotely fry/lock CPUs then we'd have some interesting malware floating around the internet.

Intel can sue you to get the chips back, it is in the license agreement that the chips are not to be sold, lent, or otherwise transferred to another person.

That is true, but what if the buyer genuinely thought it was a legal CPU, I read somewhere that once a transaction is made, a contract has been formed, and no matter what circumstance, you legally own the product you bought. So Intel would be completely powerless and it would be between the seller and Intel.

Nope, its called receiving stolen property. Which indeed, is illegal.That is true, but what if the buyer genuinely thought it was a legal CPU, I read somewhere that once a transaction is made, a contract has been formed, and no matter what circumstance, you legally own the product you bought. So Intel would be completely powerless and it would be between the seller and Intel.

my guess is that intel would call it industry espionage, sue you for a hefty fine, and get your cpu destroyed

I'd probably just keep it on my computer if I somehow had one and keep a low profile until they go retail

I got into a big discussion about this in a chatroom with a few people, we started joking that it was authorized by intel to increase publicity for the chip....who knows.
