    Can anything be done to warn the poeople who have bid on his other items, like this one Item number: 7508896215? The bidders are mostly newbies, it doesn't seem fair that they're being taken for a ride. The above item includes a link to the sellers ebay shop which is is New York and called Global Phoenix Direct. I guess that they have no idea that their listing is being used in this way to dupe bidders.
    Don't know if the above makes any sense, just feeling very sorry for the people who'll send money, and obviously get nothing for it.
