It says invalid item. That shouldn't surprise you though. A few months ago a woman bought a Playstation 2 box for well over what a new one cost. It was in the auction that it was only a box, but it was kind of vague. Needless to say she was quite pissed. Also, some guy sold his soul on there. It wasn't exactly a trick but it was funny. His ex-girlfriend bought it for about $20. (I don't know if she actually paid him but she bid for it.)

I stayed away from EBay for a long time now.... It's not what it used to be and it has all way too many cornartists.....

I know a couple of people who were outright gypped there, and it's just about impossible to straighten things out. The "ban" they put on swindlers is almost funny.
