I keep forgetting about that section.

I didn't like the idea of having to log in at first for For Sale and Wanted, but after thinking about it, with the number of scams present online these days I think it is an excellent idea to require log in. Also I agree with Sean's comment.

Re the auction: Scam meister!!

Tested the water with a bid and got an e-mail stating price he wanted. Asked me to conclude -ex ebay - and send money to www.isolditonline.co.uk . Never heard of it and smelt rat right away. I said I'd let the auction run and that I would motor down to Brum and pick it up IN PERSON. He was having none of that so I pulled the bid. AVOID!!!!

Donny, you should forward those emails to [email protected]

He's up to something, but I'm not sure I could prove it to ebay. I don't like the idea of a payment going to a third party who holds the bass: why does he not have it himself?? Anyway, anyone else bids, I'll e-mail them.

Donny,
The link you gave routes to a Ebay selling company. These places make their money by hosting and running auctions for other ebay members who don't want to run their own auctions.

The issue of wanting to conclude the sale off Ebay is still a violation of Ebay policy

Well,
If this genuine it's an opportunity for someone to own a 4080 for a very very reasonable price.

Jim, I had a look at that site, fair enough, but I can't understand his furtiveness. He wants £1100. Looks like it's been modded, too.

Interesting Donny I was told $1350 + $80 (pounds) for the sale
