Argh! Who really thinks this is "sort" after!

SOUGHT!!!!



Cool - I think it's too soon after the other auction myself... these things are getting common

The low FB may be an issue deciding the final price here. The only active FB item he has isn't very reassuring...

Aha - another grammar nut like myself! I was working last week in a function and there was a sign on the door warning people to be 'Quite please, function in progress' - aaargh! I flinched everytime I saw it!

lol "quite"

it's even worse that it only makes sense if they are Mathematicians

This one tweaks my 6th sense for some reason. Not a straight out "wouldn't-touch-with-a-barge-pole" kind of way, but something worries me and I can't really say why.

The payment terms worry me in so much as how can anyone from overseas pay if the only method of payment accepted is a personal cheque ? Also, not much protection against any wrong-doing if you pay by cheque. I suppose we all get nervous when there's this sort of money involved.

Gosh, is it sunny there in Spayne?    

I do know what you mean but I think the number of the card does tie in with those bought from Cards Inc....

... what we could really do with is the number of a number 21 peartree coming along

WOULD THE OWNER OF A PEARTREE CARD REGISTRATION 21/30 PLEASE VISIT THE CUSTOMER SERVICES DESK  

Seriously we don't really have any reason to doubt them, except the high value of the auction, the inexperience/unproven track record of the seller or the worrying auction payment terms though.

You never know - he might be genuine it's not *quite* so dicy as that unnumbered card

[gimli]

maybe it is the unumbered card with a 21 put on with a silver sharpie   or do i see conspiracy everywhere

I have just heard that this guy is a ye olde fashioned off ebay dealer most of the time (I didn't really know it was possible!!!), and I have heard the source of his card, so it should be A OK to go ahead and bid.

You know that if you don't I will
