For real fun, try eBays message boards; there are some wierdos, super-right wingers, conspiracy nuts and troll that would put the best the SDMB has to offer to shame.

GP: Umm, if he sent two $100’s and a $50; there is no way a postal or UPS scale would detect the difference.

Bead: You know you can check on “completed items”, right?

Zy: one thing to be aware of; when I buy on eBay, I avoid dudes who with a low or new rating insist on only MO’s or cashiers checks. Sign on to Pyapal or billpoint, and accept that also, the trust goes WAY up.

BTW, the white vinyl promo I mentioned in the OP went for $590 and the blue one went for $426.99.

Absolutely insane!
