No, no. you misunderstand me. My reply was in response to the
don't let the "secret" out aspect of the message I quoted. I was
asserting that it was not a secret and there was no potential for
a bargain.
Oh, sorry :)

o Every last
person discovering this listing (except you <g>)
would keep it a secret so as to hold the price down.
Believe me, I considered #2 (above). However:
1) It has been in a banner ad for five days. 2) It has 20 bids on it including a couple of
known ebay "deep pocket"
bidders.
So? It's been shown time and again that some of these deep pockets have
more money than brains, so why should their interest in it be any
indicator of authenticity?
