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. Here is
reply:
