Unscrupulous ebay practices

Take a quick look at this ebay auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=158689808

By falsely representing his item as "Seinfeld" memorabilia, this seller was able to get a high bid of over $500 for a piece of crap telephone.

I have half a mind to e-mail the buyer and explain the truth.

What do you care, let the guy sell his telephone. Just my opinion.

And my opinion is that if it comes down to it, I would rather help out a Seinfeld fan than someone trying to rip that person off.

As it turns out, I *did* e-mail the guy that won the auction and I told him what I knew. Better to make an informed decision based on the facts than to be pissed off about throwing away half a G.

I had a similar, albeit less expensive, experience with ebay. I bought what I thought was an exact duplicate of the Superman magnet that adorned Jerry's fridge. It turned out to be a completely different Superman magnet. I didn't bother sending it back, it was only like $7, but it was advertised as "the same exact magnet" which was the only reason I bid on it. Since then, I've championed the cause, you could say.
