If you have the original link I'll look at it again,
but my impression of the auction was that he gave a good description .
I don't se how it would get relisted for more- the price already reached the
high point.

I will tell you this: unless you went to see this, you have know idea
if he was honest. He told a lot, but maybe only the good things.
Wait a while.... I bet we see this one relisted... way over priced!!
