Ricardo: There was a Wall St. Journal front page story on 8/3/2004 on eBay's chief fraud buster. It mentioned eBay has 1,000 people devoted to fighting fraud. I didn't know they had even that many people working in the entire company.
If true and those 1,000 folks are fully engaged in fraud busting, they have a serious problem on their hands. Caveat emptor.

Well the Cinelli bicycle ebay listing redux got my interest up, and I too contacted the original listing seller who's response has been posted. I also sent some fishing questions to the "new" lister, thus: "... interested in this bike. Are you the buyer, or what? Can you send me a picture of the bottom of the frame with the serial # on it? Can I drive over and see it? I will be in the area in a few days. Thanks, Richard"
and he just now replied this: "The item location is in UK London." Yeah,
right.
Maybe Norris Lockley can swing by in the Estate Car and.....RUN HIM OVER.
