Must be desperate for spam email
(Priest) BLASPHEMY he said it again, did you hear him?
Looking for alot of crap.
I reached my $5.00 limit anyone want to buy it?
He has great feedback.
If it is real he must not want a low bidder to win same problem with his 1893 S morgan dollar.

My problem is that I am already logged in, interestingly enough, I am SECURELY logged in, as I type this. When I click on that link, it brings up a new window in MSN (the butterfly). What I believe is happening is that someone has designed a way to get others to check on something very high grade, and also built a site (cleverly) into ebay's system by where they might be able to use technology to gain one's email AND password. No matter what link I clicked on that site, I found my BUTTERFLY popping up for me to LOG in.... I DID NOT GO FURTHER.
I think it's a scam, a trojan, a worm, or something that will SPY, and should be reported.
Anyone have any idea where SQT is ? Seems I would have to give that link my email to contact the seller and that WILL NOT happen.
I would advise against bidding on this item. Does the old saying : "if it's too good to be true....." come to mind with anyone besides me ??????

it's real he's just running a scam through ebay like that no on low balls him, even with that I stopped bidding at $5.00 and never clicked his email link.

I would think there would be a lot more bids. I'll steer clear
Now, if I had about 17 grand in my budget, I might bid

Again, THIS ISNT MY AUCTION, I dont even know if it is a real auction, so please proceed with caution. Thank you for your time, Charlotte"
Explains alot. Either that or the person is trying to snow everyone.

It really does look like somebody may have managed to infiltrate the "secure" eBay system and create fake/fraudulent auction listings.
I've already reported the listing to eBay.
This is weird.

I was hoping you could tell us what was up.
It's pretty dang wierd.
The overlying image was a 1 pixel by 1 pixel, clear GIF image file. There was code via a stylesheet that stretched it to cover the entire page. The stretching of the image was being done by YOUR computer after the page was loaded, which is why it may have slowed down your computer.
The auction body HTML seems to have been generated using a popular WYSIWYG HTML editor.
A small portion of the HEAD HTML code was also copied into the auction.
The auction body itself is properly written if you remove the HTML that generates the overlying image.
My theory is that someone generated an auction with a WYSIWYG editor, then pasted the code into Turbo Lister or some other program to list the auction via the eBay GCI interface. eBay's server, trying to remove potentially malicious code (the user apparently copied ALL of the HTML, including HEADer), had a hiccup and mangled some of the HTML and also slapped the auction into the wrong person's auction listings.
Well at least I found a place to buy cheap polished stones and other hippie things.
