Icon20 YM II with stolen pics

Hello all,

This listing doesnt look right to me.. for several reasons:

1- it looks like a DavidSW pic:



2-If you look at his feedback he/she has sold ice cream sundae recipes...

3- They changed their username in the past 30 days...

...that YOU CANNOT help with some of the research.

...folks like YOU throw up accusations with NO PROOF of what is stated, expecting SOMEONE ELSE do all the work.

...simply unbelievable.

...I guess this falls in line with "DEPENDS ON MOOD" that YOU are in.

whats wrong with you searching for it???? your original post asks someone else to do it. are you really unable to use the search function or your keyboard doesnt work or you have computer knowledge issues????

when you are home, do you ask people walking by to cook or clean for you? so why on earth cant you do the search yourself?

Not sure what accusations you're referring to. Seems to me that you're making them now. But in any case, I'd suggest easing off.

On topic:A great spot of a scam with a good result.

It's called 'Photoshop', it is a computer software image editor that lets you alter any photo or image on the computer. In addition to removing David's name from the pic, he also changed the position of the minute and hour hands. If you look closely, you can see the scammers mistakes.

I must say that I enjoy the streamlined method of putting up the auction with the pic plus all pertinent info so the people who have a relationship with ebay (stan, david etc etc) can spend the time reporting instead of sourcing things.. Like a well oiled machine :)

It also took me a minute to realize this as I used to just throw things up half sourced...
