That's my auction. Untested? "This was removed working, but is sold AS-IS as I have no control over how you install it."
It -is- tested. Quite thoroughly.
As for the BIN, someone by the handle "misteramiga" did that and say's he's from NY, and is buying it for Keropi. Keropi says it's someone he met on Amiga.org, but the guy in NY say's they are cousins.
As for the suggestion to ask for forgiveness rather than permission, that advice has caused loads of problems. eBay frowns on me mailing the item to an address other than that registered with the buyer account, while BidPay will not offer protection to me if I send to anything other than the payer's registered address. I'm not even sure BidPay will -let- someone who isn't the auction winner pay for it.
And all this went down while I was in the middle of changing the auction to allow international bidders. So if Keropi had been slightly more patient (and waited more than 8 hours for a reply, I was up at about 6:30am changing the auction when the other guy did a BIN on Keropi's behalf) then he could have done a BIN himself and things would be much simpler.
Now I'm between a rock and a hard place. And I'm left wondering who this 0 feedback new guy really is. Meanwhile I'm out the eBay fees on a $600 sale, Keropi has no worries of negative feedback or deadbeat bidder reports.
I have to say, this is one of the reasons I had set it to US bidders only. There always seems to be some misunderstanding, delay in customs, things I can't control but the buyer freaks out about and blames me for until they get the box and see I shipped it exactly when I said I did.
What I think is the only way this can proceed: Misteramiga in NY fixes his eBay registered mailing address. Keropi gets the money to Misteramiga, somehow. Misteramiga pays me, I ship to Misteramiga, misteramiga ships to Keropi.
This would have been so much simpler if Keropi had asked PERMISSION rather than FORGIVENESS with fake innocence.
