Wow Steve, guys on here broke my B#*ll's about looking at a set of Gauges on E-Bay, you better hope this thing pans out. (now that you offered us all the link to the item)! I read all of his Q &A's, some of the reassuring, some scary! Interesting how he told the one bidder if it get's over $600..........., must be some worth while stuff in there huh?
I will say though I personally have had an overall great experience with E-Bay, common sense goes a long way (which is why I can't wait to hear what the bottom line with this item(s) is. Good luck Man, I know what it's like to be looking for a new gig. You'll find something I'm sure.

Holy crapola!

I need to make a quick trip across the border. The little street urchins are always trying to get the gringos to buy a box or two of Chicklets!

Click on the link to her other auction. Looks like a classic case of a woman scorned. I wonder what those "manly battery operated" tools are.

That chick seems cool, I bet you end up with a good deal here. I have some E-Bay experience (not as much as you) by all indicators she is an honest seller who prolly hooked you up. VERY unconventional selling style. I have sold some high dollar items and NEVER had the number of hits shes getting on an unknown item!!?? This woman could sell salt to a snail.
She writes very well, seems intelligent, etc.
Really edit her soon to be X hsuband on her other auction, sad but kinda funny at the same time.
