It gets better.
As noted on that thread, my auction was so good, they bought it twice. Now I'm almost 100% certain (OK, I'm 100% certain) this is a con. Who in their right mind buys two G5s on
one evening, after literally buying nothing of worth on eBay? The only possibility of this person not being a fraud is if they're 1) really dumb, or; 2) really eccentric.
Still, under eBay rules, I think I'm still liable to sell to this person. I've written another message, but I bet a get a generic-o-reply. Great that there's no live help or people to talk to on that site... That said, I'll bet I could get a stinking article into at least a couple of mags if eBay's replies and rules lead to me in any way getting ripped off. Mind you, I really don't want to play the journo card.
