[Coco] An intriguing one at Ebay

[Shain Klammer]

I agree, its cheap, I personally dislike auctions which
have shipping/handling/postage that are wholy unrealistic and overtly
expensive in order to try and hide their hope that no one would notice that
the $2 auction win costs $52.

This appears to be first-time seller, from a small town who claims to be
helping someone else out.  The seller used a non-representative picture
- well perhaps the seller doesn't have a scanner, digital camera, or
*even* access to the stuff...  yes, it would have been nice for the seller
to say so; but, is that unique in eBay?

Wouldn't it be easier/kinder/nicer to offer some help by pointing out their
mistakes before sending in the authorities?  Certainly enough emails have
been sent through here about it...
