I'm always amused by these scams and the threads (  =-O  ) that surround 
them.

For some reason, some people don't apply the same common sense to a 
purchase, or sale, over the internet that they would apply to an 
in-person purchase in response to a local ad/newspaper ad/etc.

It's like the mail-order-TV-Ad wax offers from years ago. A study found 
that buyers would pay double or triple the store price of a comparable 
wax product just because it was on television. That was long before the 
days of the "wax systems"  :-X  that are around nowadays which cost 
upwards of $100.00. GMAFB.

I still say that the easiest way to know who you are dealing with is to 
email them simply to see the _attitude_ of their response. Another 
suggestion is to ask a trick or obvious question or two and see if they 
are honest with you or as knowledgeable as they may be portraying 
themselves as being about any claims in their description.
