    Grrr I wanna send him a really nasty email but I am afraid of what he might do to my auctions if I did.... >:(
    The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing:)
  • I certainly started something when I mentioned this and I did wonder at the time if it was too good to be true. It seems it is likely.

    "PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU INTEND TO BUY. NEGATIVE FEEDBACK WILL BE LEFT FOR NON PAYING BIDDERS. THE INFO THAT IS FOR SALE WILL GIVE YOU ACCESS TO A SITE WHERE YOU CAN OBTAIN THE LAPTOP. ALL SALES ARE FINAL AND NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN."

    Great list- think all those listed above will have rec'd at least 2/3 warnings by now

    I'm maxed out on my accounts anyway, ( will open another account if no one else confirms taking over - but think less contacts allowed on a new account)

    BUt think problem will be getting in at the end when bids come in.
