A couple of comments:

1) The LCD listing says the screen comes without the ribbon cable shown,
so the two auction items will not add up to a complete computer

2) From his feedback the seller has a pretty good track record of selling
computer parts to satisfied buyers.

In summary, if I needed that particular screen then I would go for it.
