[R-390] R-390 Digest, Vol 60, Issue 5

Scott,
        First thing I noticed is the seller only has 2 feedback ratings and
the buyer 127 feedbacks. I consider the whole ad a seller/bidder scam trying
to hook a moron. R390A's have been averaging 400 to 600 on Ebay for months
now with an occasional 300 plus something and up to 1600 to 1700 on rare
occasion for secret service models. Would be interesting to watch this
sellers future sales to see whats up.

Take care all, Jerry
