That IMSAI referred to is one that I'm selling. What happened was that
someone with 12 feedback points and a habit of buying boots and saddles
bid the auction up past $4000. A couple hours later, Ebay emailed me
telling me that the auction was cancelled because that account was used
without the owner's permission.
I haven't really been up on exactly what this fee hike entails. I suspect
that a mysterious $112 balance on my account has something to do with it.
So, if anyone wants an IMSAI, I'm listening.

I could be
wrong, but there's something fishy going on over at eBay.
First an IMSAI and an Altair 680 being bid up to astronomical prices
and now a less than stellar SOL-20 goes for $7100.00 to someone who's
last couple of purchases were cell phones. This all this activity is
in fact some type of a scam, it is going to seriously hurt legitimate
buyers and sellers.
In case you all had not noticed, there was a major change at Ebay this
week. Google for details.
Also, there is a good sized strike amongst sellers this week as well.
Some decided just not to sell. Some decided to shut down their stores.
And some have decided to play games, just to play games with Ebay's
bean counters.
The best thing to do this week, and most of next, is to just NOT USE
Ebay for EITHER buying OR selling.
