Scott,
Thank you. You and everyone here I have mucho respect for. You are all really fine
Honerable men with good hearts and souls. Proud to share a stage with any of you anytime.
That being said....
The deal is a no-sale.
Spoke with the ebay account holder by phone....then called Ebay....and then Called PayPal....
Paypal blocked payment and will be returning all funds later today.
Well...it is another case of if it seems too good to be true it probably is...
But I did not risk anything to anybody who did not appear legit.... The paypal monies were left unclaimed by the seller because he knew he was not selling that item.
Now, If I had contacted the inserted e-mail addy I am sure HE would have tried to scam me. I am also sure I would have recognized it beforehand. Heidi and I are not newbies to ebay as you noticed perhaps by all the feedback for fairy*works My fiances ebay username.

Ok, just received our funds back from paypal.
We are out nothing the transaction has been reversed...

I guess it will be a while before I can get hands on a 3000.
Back to the floppies for a while yet I guess.

You all take care, It is a jungle out there.
My (and Heidi's) best to you all,
OldNewb
Jim
