WOW! Awesome bonus!

Too good to be true.

4 days no bids.

Looks too good to be true.

note, the seller says "For the lucky winner who breaks the reserve" Who knows how high it is, could very well be 3k - 4k.

Which makes it not a good deal.

Check out the Payment section:

"Personal Check/Money Order/Cashier's Check".

I emailed "mine9" to see if he'd be willing to accept a shoebox stuffed with unmarked bills. Waiting for his response. :o

....Yes, this deal has an "aroma" about it.

[dane_peterson]

Hell, I'll bid on it then.

Paypal would back me to $1000... $1100 is liveable.

EDIT: Didn't "break" the reserve. Oh well. :)

Lucky you....he's not covered by paypal's "Buyer Protection" program....sellers need some minimum requirements in order to make that program.

[unc2701]

what the hell. I'm local, I'll go $1100.

[unc2701]

whoops! what did you bid? it just popped to $1125. Anyhow, I'll be happy to go over to raleigh & check them out for you.

You're right... he'd need one more positive feedback to be covered. Regardless, he doesn't accept Paypal.

It doesn't really matter... I didn't meet the reserve, and I certainly won't be entertaining "second chance offers" for the sub alone.

[unc2701]

Eh. I just got a "second chance offer" scam (did NOT come through ebay). I might yank his chain a little, see what he says about local pick up :)

can you say hotttttttttt
