That is my theory, that someone (maybe more than one someone) spent a lot of time and research to scam an unwitting collector. If my theory is correct, they didn't make out nearly as well as they had hoped and may have won their own item.
Until someone on this board (not a first time poster), shows proof that they got past the 5 day money back period, I will continue to believe that this was a well orchestrated scam. I was going to point out some other irregularities in this auction, but I didn't want to give the next scammer any more info. After all, this is where you can come to find out what not to do in a scam. It's getting f*ing ridicules!
