I don't have respect for blow-off artists. Actually, I don't care for
eBay,
unless I can deal with the seller face to face.
For this reason, I only bid on things that are in the Chicago area. It
does
limit my options, but if I want to buy a currently available item, I just
buy it new. None of this "works perfectly, but as with all electronic
equipment, sold as is" bit.
If I really want something bad enough, I enter a very high bid. If I come
out high bidder, good........if not, oh well.

I try to get the seller on the phone so I can evaluate them. You can
usually get a pretty good idea about someone by the way they talk and
answer your questions. Of course this doesn't work well with the
pathological liars because they believe what they're saying. :-)

You are very right. Next time I will do that.
I can ask all the questions I want and see if it's for me. But like you
said, with those pathological liars even a voice stress analyzer wouldn't
help
