Bill,

I think the auction was meant in jest. Perhaps even Ray would have 
considered it to be funny. He was a bit of a trickster himself - no? 

The title states "from Ray Johnson" and the description states "to 
Ray Johnson." It does seem a bit misleading and I would caution the 
seller to read the fine print on eBay's TOS (terms of service). A 
warning or an outright ban from the site could be the result of a 
disgruntled buyer's complaint.

This is not the first time Ray has been spoofed on eBay though . . .
A mysterious person known as Rein Rein has consistantly offered 
items with Ray Johnson references.

I also enjoy trustworthiness where my wallet is concerned, but can 
also appreciate a sharp stick in the eye. Mail Art and its 
afficianados are an eccentric bunch and these type of pranks should 
be taken with a grain of salt. 

Caveat Emptor
