Thought it might give a clue if he has the item or not. Here's his reply: Hello, The price i will ask for it it's 1900USD.If you are ready to buy it,i will need to know all your full details,like your full name and your full address,so we can close the transaction.The transaction will be close using eBay Purchase Protection,and eBay will insured it,all the shipping cost i will pay for it,and will be made using FedEx service,and will take max. 2 working days,and the shipping will be insured.If you are ready to buy it,just mail me all the info i need and we will start this purchase, Thank you, Bargepole?

Guest Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Most american (and other) sellers on ebay are good and serious people in my experience, I have had few bad experiences. There is a feedback system, use it, and ask questions before the auction end and you'll be alright. If you seriously bid on something like this Gene Toones (without taking precautions and researching a bit) you are simply not very clever, and there is no insurance that will always protect you against your own stupidity.
