    I was just wondering about this as well. She has her PMs disabled so there's no way of contacting her for an update unless she sees this (apart from hijacking a thread she's in somewhere else!)
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    If the paintings only worth £200/£300 then I dont see what all the fuss is about. Are we talking Thousands?

    I bought a cardboard box of lego for approx £40 on ebay at the end of last year and ive been slowly assembling and selling off the sets from it. Im approximately a third of the way through it and so far Ive made well over £200. I expect the total to be near to £700.

    Reason I got it cheap was the picture and shape of the box it was in made it look a smaller amount than it was. I craftily emailed the seller regarding the item with a silly question.. then when she replied I had her email addy. I then emailed her via her email addy and not the "respond" button to ask the weight. The reason being I was right in believing it weighed a lot, approx 12kg and by emailing via hotmail rather than ebay she couldnt select to have the answer of the weight appear in the listing and thus drive the price up.

    Ironic bit.. and dont laugh.. I got a speeding ticket on the way to collect it. 82mph on the motorway. *hangs head in shame*
