Jesse and the ebay mess

[Electronics Plus]

Seems weird, I fully agree. But that is what he told me, so I passed it on.

Sorry, but this doesn't really check out. Jesse sent an email to the list,
original subject 'Hewlett-Packard 3000, 9000, Itanium (HP-UX & MPE/iX)
Servers, Storage Arrays, Replacement Parts, Maintenance, & Disaster
back-ups' and put his email and website in the message. Going to that
website, cypress-tech.com, we can go to the 'ebay store' page where the
apparently official ebay store of Cypress Tech is linked to. Following the
link, http://stores.ebay.com/Cypress-Technology-Inc we see that this is the
same seller as the original gold scrap ebay link,
https://www.ebay.com/itm/382505855460

Here is the list of reasonable possibilities that I can think of:

- Somebody sent a fake email, from a fake Cypress-Tech.com, and made a fake
ebay page with the sole purpose of defaming this person (I'll admit, not
entirely out of the realm of possibility if there were someone with a
grudge against him)

- Jesse does not maintain full exclusive control over the ebay store, and
one of his coworkers/employees have posted the gold scrap auctions without
his knowledge (I suppose this is possible)

- You've been lied to, or otherwise you made a mistake

Please correct me if I've made an error somewhere, and please don't take
this as a personal attack of any kind. I don't have any interest in this
matter really, but my BS detector was showing a reading, so I checked it
out a little deeper and that's what I found.

Best Regards,
Joe Zatarski
