[QUOTE="andy21us, post: 162378, member: 2452"]ADVERTISING: to give public notice of: to inform; to make known through agency of the press; legal notifiation. HYPERBOLE or HYPE: a figure of speech which expresses MUCH MORE or much less then the TRUTH for the sake of effect. 1 in 500 million is far from 1 in a billon. I'm not trying to decide any such thing, the point is that the sellers on ebay use the power of hype and the knowledge or the lack of; of the bidders to gain a larger price for something that is worth far less. I post these type of actions to shed light on this type of sellers so the newbies on this site don't make the same mistake. That is what makes this country so grate is that peolpe can express their opinions and thoughts as you and I have done, but it also does not allowes people to exploit the lack of knowledge of other people for personal gains. This is called fraud and that is illegel. But this is just my opinion and thoughts.[/QUOTE]
