I agree 100%. If the seller is indeed 90+ years old, he is doing a very good job with his listing (text, photos, etc). Not to say that it is not possible, but it just does not feel right. He has sold a lot of tools and fishing supplies and has 100% feedback. Perhaps his grandson is helping.

Just seems a bit strange. I would never spend that amount of money on eBay without holding and seeing the item first, weather the seller has 100% feedback or not. The fact that there is a "No Return" policy is also a bit unnerving.

I hope for "Bob's" sake he does not entertain too many "Can I pick it up locally" questions, as he may be a target for theft, given his age. He needs to be careful and so do all of the potential bidders.


Will be interesting to see the outcome...
