As an aside - curious as to why this ad went live
SECONDS after I posted it.

Wait, YOU created this listing?

<DING, light bulb glowing bright above head>

YES!

In my (and surely others) frustration as to why a
poorly written/photographed ad is taken seriously
by anybody with hundreds/thousands of dollars. Unless
the joke has been on me and these kinds of ads usually
end up with deadbeat bidders. That's an increasingly
popular scenario these days and yet another ePay
topic for sure...

I've relisted this machine thrice now. Granted, the starting
price reflected what the machine is worth to the right person,
at the right time, during a certain solstice AND when the
vernal equinox is in alignment - BUT... relisted it at damn
near HALF price the second time - only to get idiotic
questions such as "can I pick this up myself and pay cash",
AND "does it play music".

The newly relisted Harlem ad is part experiment, part
amusement only with a dash of cynicism thrown in for good
luck. I'll be fine soon - really, I will :-)  Especially
after I finally realize that ePay and GayPal are completely
useless to me now. I really wish the herd had more integrity
and had supported the alternatives out there before we end
up with any more monopolies.

Well Frank I put in my 2 cnets if that hlps.
