Frank, I noticed that too. Also, another interesting thing - there was one listed at usd$600 last week. I put in a bid up to usd$620 knowing that I would never win, (and not wanting to win as the guy had ZERO feedback) but wanting to keep an eye on it... The auction finished at only US$660!! It can be found here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2971035721 BUT, I just received an email from the winner of the auction, who has said that he has continuously tried to email the guy, with no response, and was asking me if I had any idea of how to contact him etc. To me, I'd say the guy has seen that it finished so low, and has panicked and is ignoring the high bidders emails - after all, he has no feedback and so has nothing to lose. Bummer though, how cool would it have been to have picked up one for THAT price?!?! tan. ----- Original Message ----- From: "frank theriault" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 8:48 AM Subject: RE: *istD > Hmmm... > > Seems that this item is no longer listed on eBay.
