Hmmmmm...I suspect a bit more went on there; maybe during the pre-buy email frenzy? Once on eBay I bid on a chunk of land in Utah near the North Rim. The seller instructed me to simply get a cashier's check for just under 10K and mail it to a post office box.

I sure would appreciate your sending me that link, and thank you in advance. I'll keep you posted if I get into it with the seller of nothing; perhaps the buyer is a student of Zen who seeks emptiness the old-fashioned way - he buys it!
