    I can smell his odor eaters. He's about 70 miles from my domicile.

    I'm watching this one, not sure about bidding just yet.

    I sent the seller an email asking if I could inspect the stuff,. We'll see what happens.

    I won't be around tomorrow, so patience please.

    Scam, plain and simple. Here's the first email I sent to the seller...

    I live in Colorado Springs, CO. Would it be possible to inspect these items personally?

    Her response...
    Hello,

    Local pick-up is not a option for us because the Carver will be shipped from my studio who is located in Miami,Fl.Please do not be worried about shipping costs because i will support them.If you agree with this inconvenience please let me know because i'm able to make you an offer now.

    Thank you ,

    Desiree


    So I sent her another email stating that I have a close friend in Florida and asking if he could inspect the products.

    Her response...

    Hello again Frank,

    It's ok with me but the sytem is at the freight company packed because i've tried to sell it here.Please do not be worried because i will give inspection period (5 days).Please let me know if you are willing to close this transaction with me for 1300 US Dollars (s/h included).If you agree with my offer please let me know full shipping address so i can go to the freight company.I will wait your decision.

    Thank you ,

    Desiree


    So the **** isn't in Denver, its crated up in Florida...yeah, sure it is.:rolleyes:

    I am not sure if anyone else did but I reported it to Ebay this morning as a possible fraudulent listing. Ebay always seems to respond very quickly on these matters.
