It seems as though the 2 listmembers that are presently bidding on the frame should consider retracting their bids to telegraph the shabby business practices of this eBay seller.
I had a seller of a Hetchins Mountain King frame defraud me and he subsequently resold it about 1 1/2 years later on eBay. Unfortunately, I wasn't made aware of it until the second auction had closed. Not sure if the buyer ever received it. Still a bit frothed about that deal and consider that the frame, wherever it is, is mine.
