you make a very valid point (on both matters). however, i guess i'm the type of person that if i'm spending that kinda money i'm gonna verify myself before pulling the trigger.
i think the bigger lesson we've all learned here is how to approach ads both as a buyer and as a seller. and, to a lesser but equally important degree, who not to do business with.
Obviously we all have differing opinions. That's fine. That's what makes the world go round. I have a few car parts and model train things to sell. I think now though, I'm just gonna make a run to the dump. lol
