Careful in Ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-New-Sprint...QQcmdZViewItem

I was in searching for some accessories for my Sprint Pocket PC. I actually need another cradle, so I have one at work and one at home. The thing is, I found one just like mine, supposedly an unopened box, for significantly less than I paid for mine. While I was looking at it, there were 2 more bids. The thing is, this item doesn't close for another 10 or so hours. So I looked at the bidders just out of curiosity, since this appeared to be suddenly a hot item.

Most of the bidders on this item are new registrants to Ebay. Meaning to me that they're the seller himself who has signed up with another name in order to drive the price up.

The phone, if it's indeed unopened and has been legally obtained, is a good buy at the price - even anywhere under $300. But I wouldn't buy from this jerk anyway - he's not playing the game as it's supposed to be played.

Just food for thought!
