4MB 72-pin SIMMs are hard to find?  I have a gold mine here!

And he goes again with the "fair price" and bit about more boards would be a higher starting bid, etc. etc. etc.  Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick, how can we get rid of this guy?  I won't repeat myself, but my previous post about his similar auction STILL applies!  Amazing!

I still don't see the fascination with the guy.  I mean, all you're doing is helping him advertise his crap, but still.

Yes, he was, but I figure he has accomplices these days.  As far as these threads, I see them as PSAs for the n00bs  :crazy:

Some uninformed person has bid on it.  Poor fool!


Don't feel bad, it's probably a shill bid.

And this feedback change... I wonder if that's why my feedback suddenly jumped up by like 50 or so points.  Maybe they're counting multiples from the same people (didn't use it.)  This new policy is a bad idea...

I've argued this in another thread, so I'll be brief: sellers need a mechanism by which they can warm other sellers.  Buyers need a mechanism by which they can warm other buyers.  Both need to be able to use this mechanism without fear of retaliation and fraud.  This new system is not the answer, it is the continuation of eBay's legacy of "hands off" approach to how it operates.  It only acts on corporate demands, like DMCA and the like.

But, like any market, this certainly opens the doors for alternative services, like auction or feedback tracking.  I envision a site (which would probably face a legal row from eBay) separate from eBay which would track legitimate complaints against sellers AND buyers.  Doomy inspired this idea.
