This is the canned reply from ebay on the $12,000 Rebel Machine. I eventually bid $50,000 on it (didn't know my credit that good, need to check with freecreditreport.com to see if it is I guess) and the scammers took out my bid, along with a Ohio fellow who had called me about this while it was live, he bid $45,000 on it, so I hit it for $50,000 but then our bids taken down by scammer and it was suddenly $7900.00 again. While this fun was going on I had emailed ebay the link and amazingly they took it down in less than 10 minutes go figure. Rarely see them work that fast on a scam auction, maybe slow night & tired of hearing about Whitney Houston dead out there.
