[cctalk] Re: Revocable Living Trust for Computer Collectors

Fred, I agree if the seller has really crappy ratings (80s or lower) then that may matter if it is an easily found commodity. However, because of the eBay driven manipulation most sellers have stellar ratings. For example there is one seller that keeps listing a IBM 5100 with free shipping and a starting price of 99cents. However, if you actually look at the listing hidden in the text and pictures he states the item is for sale at a specific price to be paid on a different site with a spoofed eBay URL. I have reported him a number of times and most of the time eBay takes the listing off but recently because of the wording he is using the eBay AI is too stupid to figure it out. However, throughout the process and multiple listings he has maintained his 100% FB score. So I ask again what is the FB worth? I bid/buy items I am interested in at a price I think is fair/I can afford; I lose no biggie and if I win great. If the seller screws around after sale eBay Money Back Gurantee is filed immediately no matter what the sellers FB score. -Ali
