$7900 for an empty cabinet, that guy is nuts. I don't get why anyone would do that, he's going to wind up paying big in ebay fees and not selling it. What kind of set is that anyway?, I don't know that one.

Yep, I informed the seller how "empty" his head must be. Now awaiting a nasty response. I have fun with people like this.

An angry email is called a "flame"

Actually, in the internet world-we call a nasty response or angry email a "flame". I learned that term from a fellow collector years ago.
Just like we call junk email SPAM

Even that wouldn't be enough to pay that much. Not even crack could mess someone up enough to pay that

I thought I'd seen it all; but, this one really takes the cake! I need to get in touch with this moron and offer to sell him the junker consoles that I get for, oh say, $3.5K. I mean, he could still make money at such a bargain price.

Anyway, that set looks like a mid '70's GE.

Fleabay will have the last laugh - his listing fee is $4 insertion fee + .25 Buy-it-now fee + .15 extra photo fee = $ 4.40

They get this irregardless if it sells.


Wudda Id-ee-yat...

Cheers,

I think it would say more about our society if some fool were to actually pay him $7900 for it.
