Constellation Expert on ebay

Post by Larry »

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/320887331765 ... 1438.l2649

The seller is pulling the "don't know much about it" trick.
He has no pieces for it but says it appears to work. Without the pieces
all he could have heard is the startup jingle, he could'nt know if there
are dead squares. To be fair, Novag auto sensory boards seem to rarely
have reed switch problems. Why is the photo not clickable?
Is'nt the price a bit high for a bare board?
I'll watch this item.... with the prices lately on wooden boards it might
not last the full week.

PS Just noticed it's had an offer. Not from me it has'nt. And I doubt
he will be able to ship it for $15, unless he's selling to someone further
down his street.

he/she also carved the auction up into three separate auctions
the clock and printer undoubtedly were purchased by the original owner for the Connie Expert as it had no display
in fact..you can see the Expert in the background of the clock auction photo:

Ok, another one to watch. Seems no buy-it-now on this one:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FIDELITY-ELI ... 2c64999045

No original box, and notice no photos without pieces on the home
squares. The seller does'nt want us to see the fade rings?.
