Unreal. |

| | | I was thinking the same thing. It seems really fishy, but at the same time, the ebay user has huge feedback and certainly appears reputable. Reputable sellers on ebay take feeback really seriously, and I wouldn't think they'd jeaopardize that with a scam. Certainly makes you curious, anyhow. |

But does that make the person selling this not a scam artist, or the people willing to shell out $127 for this just that dumb? Positive feedback is a great thing doesnt make what you are selling a little shady. |

| | | Too bad that first one was already closed, I would have been tempted to bid on it then leave the so-called secret phone number in the feedback! Ebay simply refuses to remove any feedback for any reason, so it would be funny to see what would happen.

PT Barnum was so right.

No matter what disclaimer he has on the listing - all it would take is one complaint to the illinois gaming authotiry and he is really busted. |
