Yes, but you have to come out of the house some time and you dont know what they look like?
Or to quote Charlie "The Mafia never stop looking for you until you are dead"

Yes, Chester Charlie Varrick was even better LOL.
Seriously ,you miss the likes of Don Siegel and Walter Matthau whose presences in a film as an actor /director raised the quality of any movie.

Would make an interesting surprise Jim finding that amount of money but you may have visitors wanting it back
Remember Charile Varrick!!

Hi Jim
33 RPM is normal for LPs here.
It could be a 12 inch single release. This is an extnded type of release DJs use in Discos and I think they maybe played at 45 RPM.

I wouldnt be surprised if they are so embedded with Ebay with IDs from years ago.
I think ebay would only catch on to mass subscribing from 1 IP address.
They can always pop into their Internet Cafe. I think I also remember reading that they can buy ID that have been set up by others as well as hijacking dormant accounts.

The two types of items I have had problems with are breakables like Franklin Mint figures and in the early days DVD which were dodgy bootlegs.
Dakota it is fine listing a name and shame list but the hoods you are hoping to mention change their IDs more often than their underwear!!

The thing about Ebay is that if you are buying or selling it is only a matter of time before you meet a wingnut or hood.
On the buying front feedback is the key. You need to study your buyer's record and if there have been any problems. Payment by Paypal although not ideal is proberably the
quickest and safest method.
On the selling front you can specify to exclude members who have had 2 non paying warnings and/or who have received minus feedback. This will not weed all the deadbeats out but it will help. You can insist on immediate paypal payment for a sale to be ended but this does restrict buyers who dont have paypal.
If posting an item even if not insured keep your postal receipts for at least 3 months.
Finally, when you do have a disagreement with a seller or buyer and come up against the non person existance of Ebay and Paypal dont accept their emails as final.
Respond to each and argue your case. I was refused a refund for a damaged item but
when I threatened to get a refund from my credit card company they reversed their decision.
