I must admit to buying from e-bay sellers on several occasions..
on TWO of these, the seller, who was to send the machine, COD, fouled up and sent
it in the 'clear'..
so, in spite of that 600 with the password, there ARE honest and trustworthy
people there, but there are also more than a few who I would not trust and a few
who are so, uhh.. arrogant about 5000 positive feedbacks for 25 cent baseball
cards that they want a buyer to send $3k up front for a $4k machine..
its just a bit too wobbly..! :-)
