I spotted one yesterday. There were 3 Lightspeed bikes for sale with a starting bid of $500 and no reserve. I checked out the persons past sales and feedback and see that they have only purchased and never sold anything. I then looked at the merchandise that they purchased and it was baby clothes for the most part and nothing over $20. That struck me funny so I wrote them asking them about the auctions. I also wrote ebay and asked them if this looked fishy. Sure enough the auctions disappeared within an hour or two. It was that old "If it looks to good to be true...." that tipped me off.

On another note, I receive my CR messages in bulk form. I just like it that way but have noticed that I do not receive all messages in this format. The message that started this string never came across in the bulk format. Is there something I am missing?
