I can't find the auction anymore as it was before Christmas, but it from what I remember it was 2 very low feedback noobs that bid it up to over $2500 and then strangely enough it was relisted again within 3 days of the auctions close. I was too lazy to report it then, and since Ebay's quality "protect its bidder by hiding your ID system makes things 10 times harder to find shilling than it should, but now I wish that I would have. Ahh, my Google-fu is strong tonight, I found it. It didn't go for the $2500 I was thinking it did, but it originally "went" for $1825: http://cgi.ebay.com/LARGEST-AD-D-MODULE ... -200-items _W0QQitemZ190273611669QQcmdZViewItemQQssPageNameZRSS:B:SRCH:US:101

Can I just ask, if this guy is committing fraud against all these people, why no-one has bothered to leave feedback to highlight the fact to other suckers? Seems like people are only concerned about themselves and not fussed if this guy gets stopped or not? And has anyone spoken to eBay to shut this guy down? Here in the UK I'd be on the phone within the hour. Do you guys in the States not get to call eBay? And why hasn't anyone posted his name and phone number so we can all phone up and ask him about his sale? Whoever is on the end of the line would get pissed off soon enough.

The dense among the redneck trailer trash population really screw up things for everyone else."Honest officer. I really did mean to pay for it. I just fogot."

He refuses to ship unless I leave positive feedback. He can't access the funds because Paypal has placed a hold on them and he is required to ship prior to the funds being released.The seller has been reported and hopefully the listing will be taken off.
following up looks like was resold from feedback http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d ... id=sanmicu s was there any more story as seems final buyer also had problems
