Then can I suggest you report it to E-Bay? There is a bid. Would save an innocent buyer a lot of heartache.Mike Watters wrote:Yes photos from various sources including two of mine.Steve B wrote:

hi
the seller has also put this on 'leboncoin', afrench website for selling anything.
https://www.ebay.de/itm/Elegant-jeu-dec ... SwEA9a62wI
so probably he really has an Atlanta.
there is 3 photos. the two first are very known.
but the third might be its proper home and copy of atlanta.
there is his phone number and almost the adress.
he says he has a FIDE (2046 Elo) and is a referee.
so probably a real atlanta.
on my side :
some weeks ago i won an auction on a mephisto berlin.
paid but never seen the board, no news from the seller and no news from Ebay.
regards.

Before I buy a chess computer off eBay, I have to like the table it's been photographed on. Mike Watters always has nice tables which results in his chess computers being well looked after.
An old scruffy table means that the seller is probably a old scruffy person who has not looked after his chess computers leading to a dirty board and pizza crumbs stuck in and around the function keys.
Anyway, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it 😃
Pepperoni Regards
Bryan

While the Scisys Mark VI module is somewhat rare...
me thinks the seller is asking a tad too much....

A Novag Citrine for $300 buy it now, $50 shipping from Mexico.
The seller appears to have a good rating, but not much recent feedback for selling items.

Seller thinks this is in excellent condition....

I guess he thinks if the chess board lights up(even if there are no pieces displayed) then its good to go
NoWay Jose Regards
