Ok, so on Sun. after numerus Msgs.on ebay to the seller with no reply I'm checking my regular email and in the spam filter I find this :
Hi Michael,
I am pleased that you've become a winner of my item: Deckel FP2 universal tool milling & boring machine! The machine is in a perfect technical condition, the service maintenance was held always in time. A qualified specialist operated it, and there were no faults or breakdowns. The machine is supplied fully equipped together with all original documents and etc.
In April I've contacted with W & B Precision Machinery store and have put up this item for sale. It is the reliable store, I've already had a positive experience of selling some machinery with them. But possibly because of the financial crisis I have already been waiting for more than month and a half and there is no result. They didn't want to reduce the price, so the item has not been sold. Now I can't wait any more and a week ago I've inquired to stop the advertising campaign and sold this item to you. To say the truth I've expected the price to be higher, but I can't spend money for advertising anymore, because I've already paid for the shipping, package, insurance there are no good reasons to back the item.
Today I've contacted with the Head of Sales Department. He said me the following: as far as the contract has been concluded with me and I bore some expenses, so W & B Precision Machinery is obliged to complete this bargain directly with you. They will deliver the machine to your location by the special price with a discount.
I have provided them with a copy of the Ebay notification where the price and your delivery address are specified.
Please contact with me and I will send you all the details of the store.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Donna
Seems akin to the sort of spam one gets along the lines of receiving X amount of dollars from the kings court of Nigeria etc.etc. etc. So I call ebay to request they investigate the matter and am told they will watch the seller and that I should continue to attempt to contact the seller.After receiving an email address that matches the yahoo msg. and a phn.#I proceed to call the # throughout the day.To no surprise it is of course perpetually busy.Sent an Email,no reply.So my conclusion is the seller is one of three things oblivious,severely mentally challenged, or a run of the mill net scammer with a rather strange taste in scam props.
