Charles,

As the text of this auction has been amended to reflect the fact the seller was mistaken pretty much all the way around; I'll go easy. This sort of thing drives me NUTS! I really hate the way people abuse eBay. I guess some people just can't resist starting off with a load of crap in case some sucker gets caught. Why don't these people do the research BEFORE putting it up on eBay? Is it really that hard to do? These guys just pull "information out of their ass" and off to eBay it goes. WHY? Is there some law against being honest and straightforward as a seller?

Pardon my rant, but really, what's wrong with being honest and getting a fair price based in what the item ACTUALLY is?

Brian Baylis La Mesa, CA Off to a gig, won't be looking at the flames from eBayers until tomorrow morning. Fire away.
