Also for the record, Scott had appended his eBay posting to explicitly state the boxes are empty *before* anyone here pointed out the possibly misleading description. And Scott, sorry if my first contribution to this thread sounded accusatory - I was skimming my e-mail and fired back a quick response after checking the times of the bids and of your posting the clarifying information. I, for one, certainly don't think you were intentionally vague. Upon first seeing the item on eBay I assumed the boxes were empty but it wasn't crystal clear. If I'd been planning to bid I definitely would have asked for more details. And folks, when Scott said: > I'll concede that it is misleading if a Lego auction can be found which is > described in the same way.... but the boxes do contain Lego. I think he meant if we could find another auction lot with a similar description, e.g. "Lego racecar box" where *that* box contained Lego he would concede the point. He wasn't talking about *his* boxes. (Right Scott?) Doug In lugnet.market.auction, Scott Arthur writes: > For the record, I have just mailed all the bidders and clarified the > situation.
