I'm really sorry to hear that you got fleeced (although there were lots of
warning signs that you were going to get taken if you'd been watching
carefully... taking a listed item off ebay and doing a private sale means you
then have no protection from ebay, paying via MO means you have no protection
from paypal, etc etc etc).
However, this post doesn't really, in my view, belong in lugnet.general. Nor
does it or a duplicate of it (http://news.lugnet.com/lego/?n=1668 ) belong in
lugnet.lego either. It's a market related issue I think
You're more likely to get responses if you post in the right group, I think.
Also, please learn how to cross post if you can, rather than posting duplicates
of the same post in different groups. see
http://www.lugnet.com/~330/FAQ/Administrative/multiple for info on how to
crosspost
I've set the followup to this post to market.auction
