I wouldn't pay the $50 shipping cost fopr that crap.

What am I missing this time ?

I don't understand why everyone's getting so bent over these auctions
(weird as they may be). Put yourself in the *seller's* shoes: that's
pretty good money. (Notice that they went out of their way to explain
that a lot of this stuff was not working and badly in need of
restoration: it's not like they're trying to con buyers or anything.)

I guess I'm trying to make sure that I'm not missing something and at
the same time admitting my stupidity at throwing out a bunch of crap
That I was SURE no one would even pay the shipping on much less bid on.

Foolish me for dumping that tyco in the trash.
