Yeah... I reported it, too! I don't think these boneheads in Nigeria or Ethiopia realize what a small bunch of folks the tuba community really is!

I probably report a half-dozen fraudulent listings a week.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

The last attempt at listing was a "private" sale. I bid $10.00 just to waste the scammer's time. The sale had been yanked the next time I checked it, with no notice to me from eBay - scandalous.
