Hi every one, I contacted the seller to ask them if they would end the auction early (very naughty

...against eBay rules!!!!!!!!) and sell it to me as a private sale. They contacted me to say they will sell it to me for £1700.00. And can I send them the money via western union money gone...sorry I meant transfer. I said, that as I live in Birmingham and you (the seller) are in Birmingham to let me have your (there) phone number so I can call to arrange collecting the unit and pay in cash.....l will report back later.

I bid the rebreather upto £10,000.00 but the seller canceled my bid(s), maybe they don't think it's worth £10,000.00

I tryed to bid it up again but they have blocked me from being able to re-bid

anyone else willing to bid it up so no one gets ripped off

go on have a bid......

Hi Adrenalin junkie, we were glad to find your research into 'radericrebreath39' we are trying to buy another expensive item from this ebay seller (an Access Virus synthesizer value approx £1200) we've asked to collect and pay cash for this in Birmingham, he's just being evasive. You have confirmed our suspicions with this character although we are prepared to give him another day or two to redeem himself since the auction only finished a couple of days ago.

Not to worry eBay are very much in control if only a week too late to be of any use whatsoever.

I would like to make it clear that I have complete faith in eBay not giving a shit what they collect commision on.

Dear Jon.
