This was the guy trying to sell the PSaudio amp for next to nothing. Looks like no one bought into his god fearing Christian ways. What amazes me is that this auction was a blatant in your face scam and E-bay will do nothing to stop it.

    do you think e-bay watches each and every auction personally?
    i'f not brought to their attention they can't act, read the rules and regs, e-bay is a venue for buyers and sellers ie:auction house if you will, and have no control over sellers validity of what they sell or their honesty.. I have sold for 4 years and when you have a problem they will take care of it when its within their rights and limits..

    and how was it a blatant scam?? besides the seller haveing no positives and 3 negatives, the bidders knew that beforehand and the chance for a "great" deal clouded their thoughts of it being a scam for it selling "so" cheap.. it works both ways, if it looks to good to be true it most likely is.. cardinal rule on e-bay, Buy from reputive sellers with large positive feedback ratings and length of time as a seller for large purchases.. I say all this not to attack you personally beleive me, But i get tired of all the "e-bay bashing" when people don't know the facts or personally read some of the rules to follow.. Fact: e-bay has scams and bad sellers and buyers, fact: common sense helps as if you were buying from anyone, e-bay or local, personal,yard sales,flea markets, so on......... just my 2 cents
