All,
Please note I did not suggest it was a scam. These listings, and the remainder of items he has for sale, all appear legit in every way. (Well, he needs to catch up with the BidPay thing.) Nothing about these listings fit the profiles we've been talking about lately. I just found the listings, like I said, odd. And I was curious what others thought.
