Thanks for sharing this. One comment though--a starting bid of $1 is not
necessarily a red flag. People know market determines the winning bid and have confidence in that, besides they save a few bucks by not using a reserved price auction, plus they get more bids on their auction this way. Demanding WesternUnion money order as the only means of payment by international seller could be a red flag. wrote in message news:UnWmc.1323$iF6.191318@attbi_s02... beware of low priced Canon 1ds 's for sale on ebay.

And, oh yeah, I just remembered one of my personal experience. A short while
back I offered my D100 for sale in the newsgroup. Some guy emailed saying interested. Agreed on price, and then, Mr. Playing Innocent emailed me a fedex link about COD, assuring me how safe it is, and asked me how do I feel about this method. Well, I am not doing that. Buyer pays, seller ships. Common business practice. I politely refused. You can guess it only takes one more email to unvaile the ugly creature behind--Mr. Son of a Bitch with a bad mouth.
