It must not be that great a deal, as it hasn't
sold yet via buy it now. I
took several long looks at it, and even went so far as to look at the
sellers me page. First off, it's got one of those G_D damned
cursor-chasers. That's one big turn off right there. Then, after the page
loaded (faster than the auction itself) I read some of his other
restrictions. No pickup, no questions, ships whenever he gets around to it,
I couldn't see one reason why I would want to do business with this schmuck.
It's too bad, I would have liked to bid on it, but anyone who won't allow a
local pickup (even if I can't take advantage of it) I absolutely won't do
business with. <insert rant here> Stupid sellers.
That's exactly what I came up with. The last couple of 860s that
crossed ebay weren't nearly as well-set-up and went for $750+. This guy
not only has no clue what he's selling, but comes off like a serious
jerk. I'd still snatch it if I had 5 bills.
