Re: [meteorite-list] Glassface found the 33rd Mars Rock

[Ron DiIulio]

Friends, Thanks for all of the responses to my "successful" bid on a "Martian" meteorite!!   Armed with all of your emails as well as some legal support, I intend to pursue this Ebay fraud to eliminate this person from future postings (at least under his current ebay membership).   If you wish to contribute any additional anecdotal, or first-hand experience with this seller please advise me. I'll add it to the ever-growing list of "interesting" emails that I intend to present to the Ebay corporate office!   This seller didn't realize he might be taking on the State of Texas with this apparant fraud!   By the way, we have NOT made payment, and are attempting to ascertain how to proceed with this without using an escrow service. An email has been sent to the seller (glassface1) advising him that he is facing a serious problem!   Regards, Ron DiIulio Planetarium and Astronomy Lab Director Physics Department University of North Texas >>> "Tom aka James Knudson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/22/04 08:50PM >>> Randy, Ebay rule of thumb # 2, the one you never see!
