Will this auction get pulled?

Obviously it's a faker listing

He's trying to be clever, but it's obvious what it is.
Shouldn't last long, but since it's Sunday it might last until Monday.

The "cleverness" of the seller will only serve to **** off RIC Legal that much more. The auction is doomed.

At $200 it'd be worth buying for the hardware (new RIC bridge pup, case, etc.) & throw the rest away.
If I ever win a pile of money, that might be something to consider.
Sooner or later they'll all disappear.
Not very practical, though, but I've never been accused of being that!

I sent the seller a request for pictures.

See my previous mini-rants about wily Ebay vendors.

Anybody remember the GC Scott mvie, "The Flim-Flam Man"?

He's alive, well, and multiplying.

It'll be gone soon, I'm sure!

I smell used car salesman. The kind one meets on Woodward in Detroit.

If he will send it to me for free, and pay the shipping, I'd take it.

That's my finale offer!

You're being too kind, I would have thought a door to door salesman.

sold before it could be pulled

This auction has been retroactively deleted which will have the effect of suspending the seller's account. Takes about 48 hours for eBay to process it.

It s good to know that they can't do a "smash and grab" on protected property.

Hope he doesn't turn up too soon under another name...
