<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1003189, member: 19065"]That's just stating the obvious for which I believe this thread demonstrates we are beyond this mutually agreeable concern... And to be realistic about this, no one has YET been taken advantage of by this, YET, unsold, item. As we have been discussing today the point of these listings may be<i> sensational</i> advertising. The seller may be in no violation with eBay policy since he has not made a sale to any one. The seller may have set a super super high reserve to prevent any buyer from acquiring this item, he just doesn't place a stupid starting bid of $32,000,000 so that he actually gets bids and the auction looks authentic, despite the obvious fake note he's presenting in the listing. I'm not trying to side with this seller and as lettow has mentioned the guy is avoiding communication, but eBay hasn't acted on this listing for a few weeks after getting reports about it, so despite his Toolhaus negative and neutral feedback comments, he may have found a loop hole through which to listing such a glaring fake without being shut down. It's still very unfortunate to see such listings amongst honest eBay sellers listings as the attempts at bidding sort of suggest a value range for such a note, which is wholly false and misrepresentative, even if buyer's rationality for prices paid is individualistic and without sound reasoning from one buyer to the next.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
