What I did

Posted by John N on March 10, 2003 at 08:43:35:
Thanks for those who responded. I carefully read the terms of use by E-bay and came to the conclusion that they would likely do nothing.
I e-mailed both the seller and the high bidder. I would have gone to the top three bidders, but the next one down the line was a new e-bayer with no information that would make it easy to e-mail him, so I was satisfied with the top bidder.
I got an extremely snotty e-mail back from the seller essentially threatening legal action and telling me to mind my own business.
The high bidder did not respond and won the auction.
I must disagree rather strongly with nijohn's position. I try to behave morally, and I would not want to get stuck with something that was very different than described. I get slightly sad when I buy a record that was advertised as A whcih looks like it was used in several ultimate frisbee games. I have also been the benficiary of kindness and getting involved by people who didn't need to, and feel that I have the obligation to reciprocate. I am not an e-policeman, but in those one or two situations where I can uniquely provide help, I will.
