Take a look at their auctions:
>>> CLICK HERE <<<

It doesn't look like they are very successful. Only one auction closed with a bidder, and that buyer is new to ebay.

Another point - looks like they started at $80, and are down to $60. Who knows how low they will go.

Also, the counters are high, so it's not like people aren't looking at these auctions, but everyone seems spooked.

I have gotten a few "deals" from new sellers, but they at least had pictures. Tough call - glad I don't have to make it.

Foul Filters as I understand them:

This forum apparently has certain words that will be filtered (turned into asterisks) if they are used. I assume the list of words has been pre-selected by AS, or by infopop. But the word must be an exact match for it to be filtered.

As an example, lets take the 4 letter word of "foul". "Foul" would not match "f o u l", "f.o.u.l", "f_o_u_l", "f-o-u-l", f o.u_l", f--o--u--l", "f---o---u---l", and so on. To compare each word in a post to all the combinations would take additional processing time. And consider, that would only be for "foul". Take a post with 100 words and match up each word to thousands of combinations, and that would be a lot of comparing. And no matter how many combinations you dream up, there's always someone that will find one you didn't.

So, I'm willing to see "f o u l" from time to time and not give up the processing time in what is probably a futile attempt. And, it's not like I haven't seen, or used, the word before, or again. Big Grin

Sara or someone will come in here and edit those once-in-a-year posts (or twice-in-a-year).

I will trust you in that, Rick. Smile Trust me in this..they have a lot better programs than that out there, I know, as I stated we use them. But, no matter, she took care of it. That's what is important...Here is the issue as I see it. Today our moral fiber is breaking down. I trust you agree with that. The reasons, I believe, is the repetition of words such as that word in print and in common speech. Thus, that which was not once not acceptable becomes commonplace and down the hole we spiral.
