Hi OldNewb

Yes, you guessed it. I am using my experience on ebay to assist you so that you end up in good shape.

If you look closely at that auction, you will notice everything I mentioned is there. I strongly recommend you do the few things I suggested. This would really be being safe rather than sorry.

As far as the Buy It Now on previous auctions, I am talking about going to the feedback of the guy you bought this from. In previous auctions he used the ebay buy it now option. In your 3000 auction, he did not, but he says to use the email address in the description to email him about a buy it now price and to find out about shipping terms, after he states shipping is free on this one unlike any of his previous auctions.

I hope this all works out well for you, BUT, I would contact ebay asap and see what's what.

If I had seen this auction, from my experience in buying and selling big ticket items on ebay, I definitely would not even consider buying from this type of ad. What I would have done is to have reported that auction to ebay, and I gaurantee you that auction would have disappeared. Ebay would have yanked it.

The ball is in your court, I wouldn't wait around to see what happens on this one.

I hope I am wrong about all of this, but, again from my experience, this auction is not for real.
