That chap is using fleabay to advertise.
He sold a nice looking UNC mule off ebay
about 2 weeks ago for a reported $13k
Saves him quite a bit in fees:angel:
Just wonder how long it will take ebay to twig
to this "Business Model"

I kid you not.
The buyer was the same chap
that dropped $15.5k on the '77 Shield Rev 50c
at the last Downies Auction.

Must have the dough, at least the sellers are laughing.:yahoo:
