Yeah, preachin' ta da choir.  I've come to believe it's
legitimate.  The item I purchased is not of great value.
It's just such an incredible story.

My only true Ebay nightmare concerned a guy who sold
me a short film - an animated CBS logo.  It was about
10 bucks, but it took months for him to ship it.  He
claimed on three separate occasions that he *had* shipped
it, and all sorts of other stories.  I finally gave up
and gave him bad feedback - THEN he shipped it, while
excoriating me for treating him so heartlessly when I KNEW
his wife was dieing of cancer.  I didn't believe it, but I
told him I was sorry if that was the case.  He then left
scathing feedback for me accusing me of being a criminal
and a fraud.


He had a bizarre feedback history.  Dozens of meaningless
positive feedbacks, like "AAAAA+++++!!!!!" and things
like that, scattered with about 4 or 5% fact-filled
negative feedbacks like the one I left.  I figured the
positives must have been shills.
