I see a trend here. The CCC list chuckles and laughs about
the muddleheaded to outright fraud on some classic computer
auctions.
eBay's TOS have become lengthy and arcane. I'm sure there's
a provision somewhere that might allow someone to point out the
fraud or incorrect listings to eBay police.
I guess it also points out the potential usefulness of
allowing a public message board connected to each auction.
It could be used for good or evil, but it would certainly
be entertaining. It would be the eBay equivalent of
rolling your eyes at a fellow auction bidder, or laughing
with a friend in the back of the crowd.
