I just thought this was kind of amusing. Read the second to the last line in this ad

Sound a little fishy? lol.

I sent him one asking how if he had no camera he could supply pics over an email.

Edit- just got his response

"I didn't have a camera when i put up this up, I have to borrow it from work (in which i can only borrow for a period of time. With as many demands i've been getting for pictures, it's also easier to wait and get e-mails from people and just send to everybody all at once. Some people want specific pictures of certain things"

Guess he doesn't know he can add the pictures after the listing has been done. Still seems fishy to me.

I say judging from his feedback he might not know how to upload to ebay I think thats all there is.

You guys need to lighten up.. I mean seriously.. how old are all of you (except for gepeto). Looking at your post counts.. and how long you've been members and here you go off writing the guy for pictures.. for what? To prove a point or just a hard-on? gepeto's the only vet here and HE'S not worried. The guy's got 100% positive feedback (granted.. not much.. but some people don't "live" on eBay) and he's been a member since 2002. Fuck.. his record's cleaner than mine.. and I'm an honorable guy. If you're not even interested in it.. move along.. and if you are.. hell.. still move along. You're making much ado about nothing. You'd think you found Saddam's hideout or something.

I've got 750+ positives on eat-me-bay, and a 99.5% rating and I've been a member since 1999, and no.. I didn't even get my hands on a lousy 1 megapixel camera until last year when my best friend gave me his hand-me-down camera for free.. shit happens. If this feels like a scolding.. it's because it is. LET.. IT.. GO.

I'm terribly sorry, I didn't know that a certain post-count was needed to voice one's opinion in here.

And really, where's the harm? He clearly contradicts himself in a strange/funny way. So if he's legit, he'll send the photos by mail, which isn't really that much work. It isn't as if his address and real name were printed out in full here, so...

Yeah.. well.. I'm just afraid that the next thing some "Mortimer" will be e-mailing his bidders informing them all he's a scammer. If you thought it was just "funny", then maybe you should have stated that; and approached it that way. I don't see any evidence otherwise.. so I'm not buying it.

I think you are the one who needs to lighten up. Get over yourself. And I do buy Cdx lots thank you very much. The problem isn't with him not having a camera, it is with the statement that he doesn't have a camera but if you email him he will show you pictures. How the hell is he going to provide pictures by email if he doesn't have a camera? That is the point. So you move along. You could have simply said you didn't think it was much to worry about but no, you have to go and puff yourself all up like an ass.

"Sorry i don't have a camera to take pictures of this, but you can e-mail me for pics."

The logic in that statement makes my brain hurt.

That said, this guy looks legit. Ouch, I just noticed that shipping is massively expensive though.
