eBay83 FC for 50k

[Don Bradner]

As someone who is in the market (although only for a PT40), I've watched the
sale and the discussion here with interest.

My initial thoughts were that the seller was getting a lot of undeserved
bashing. I'm a merchant, and I recognize the value of good marketing when I see
it. As it went along, however, nothing was ever done by the seller or his
representative to deal with the substantive questions, and that, at least on the
surface, makes the skepticism appear reasonable.

Specific things not addressed include the many questions about running gear and
operational equipment. They also include the very clear question as to why the
auction ended early and suddenly.

Finally, a note to Crusademan: The cutesy .......... writing style was
aggravating at first, and extremely annoying by the end. I don't know about
anybody else, but when people make me have to learn a different way to read
English just to tell what they are saying it is a real turnoff. It is also
worthwhile to only sparingly use the shouted capitalization of words for
emphasis so that they have REAL impact when they are used.
