Looks like I should over bid cougie's high bid by the $200 shipping cost. I make trips to Mass anyways and could just back my truck up to their door, load up and go. Might be worth it just so cougie doesn't get it. Then I can part it all out to Acaeum member's and no one would have to worry about M-Bags!

Evidence he indeed skims this thread regularly.And why does every bidder in the bid history except the winner have 3 asterisks in the middle of their Ebay User Name? ** expired/removed eBay auction ** $1040.00 was not a bad price for this lot, especially if they picked it up locally. Is jastner an acaeum member?

When Ebay first made the change you would only see Bidder1, Bidder2, Bidder3, etc. In the last couple of months they changed it to reflect it with 2 digits from the bidders ID scrambled uyp with the *** instead. Its much better this way, as it helps provided security for the bidders, but on the other it also helps find shilling for people on the look out for it. Also, after a while you start to be able to tell who is who based on feedback and what not without being able to see the full user ID.

Apparently, Postal strikes damage items. http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d ... 20Feedback And the buyer states in one feedback that people can request a photo of the "VCG" item in question. Who's good at posting photos on threads?I predict this poor buyer is about to get bombarded with requests for a mutual withdrawal.
