1. Brand new seller.
2. Zero feedback.
3. no return policy.
4. Poor photos.
5. The proverbial Grandpa's estate.

The only thing it's missing is a chinese address. image

Why did I bid and win do you ask............Maybe I'm just a sucker.

  • At least it might not be finger printed like some of his other auctions

    Maybe he isn't a bad seller though.

    I give you slightly better than 50% odds of coming out just fine. Aww, heck, I'll go 75-25 in favor of your coming out OK in the end.

    I agree with your causes for nervousness but usually the people with "grandfather's estate" tales embellish a bit more. It could actually be true in this case. Or not.

    At least you're gambling with eyes wide open to the potential pitfalls. I hope you come out aces.

    We shall see. Do let us know. I hope you did use PayPal or something with buyer protection, though.

    With all the buyer protection now being offered by ebay, how can you really lose? Just play by their rules and you can't get burned. For added protection paypal with your credit card. Personally, I think ebay has become a much safer place to shop.

    You must really be addicted to those old ANACS certs to overlook 0 feedback...........but I guess that we all had 0 at one time.
    Good luck!

    Yes, I did pay with my credit card through paypal, so I shouldn't really have a problem.
