So, I reported the 4 auctions that this seller had and also sent the seller a "General question about this item." The question I sent the seller was Is there a reason why you practice keyword spamming in your auctions? It's a pretty low way to get people to look at them. eBay has been notified.

I know it was kind of tattle-taleish but I did it anyhow. Surprisingly, they answered with this loooong sob story. You can read it here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...Q%3AUS%3A1&rd=1
Scroll down to the 'Questions from other members' section and click on 'More' to read their entire response. Wow! Some fate the person has encountered, eh?

But wait! What's this?!? The seller says that he hasn't had any income for over 2 years...spent every penny he's had for over 2 years paying the bills trying to be upright...is now selling everything he owns to put food on the table. YEA, right! Check out his feedback from recent eBay transactions: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...&item=-1&de=off

"Buying a used flute for an 1 year old right after dad sells hid Beosystem 1 for 3,800.00 is extravagant ? 1 used to broker hi line vehicles and believe me after making $20,000.00 with a phone call on an Austin Martin DB7 Cab or $5,000.00 on a late model S Class dealer to dealer the flute wouldn't have been used. Going from 45 - 90 vehicles down to 4 - 8 with 800.00 margins and a bunch of baloney or reconditioning a speaker to pick up $150.00 doesn't even cover the medication, so this is why my sales are private to keep the rabid, righteous, pride filled, whiney I should be God because I know it all out of my neediness. Diablo means nothing other than someone who obstructs, divides, excuses then accuses. Why don't you go somewhere and have that big bag of puss you are carrying lanced. I am going to Mass at 5:30 because I couldn't use my arms this morning to go with my wife and kids. I will pray for you with all of my heart and offer the suffering this day and especially the eucharist ( body, blood soul and divinity of The Christ ) for your healing. Pax et Bonum, Ed P.S. I love you and God does too......."

Funny, they didn't post this reply on their auction!
