Well it went for over £400 in the end. Someone has been well and truly stung.

Yes it was sold for £411 and the (dumb) purchaser left only neutral feedback saying it wasn't a BS3200 as described, (so, did he get it working?), which it isn't - it's a BS3000 isn't it! The seller replied with positive feedback but said that buyer didn't read listing.

WHAT A D*HEAD.

Or maybe we have?

The sale of stolen goods is forbidden on eBay because it's against the
law to sell stolen property.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to report a seller who you suspect is offering stolen goods on eBay.

The sale of stolen goods is forbidden on eBay because it's against the law to sell stolen property. We at eBay head office have degrees in stating the bleeding obvious, and it took three years of hard graft to come up with that conclusion. eBay strongly supports law enforcement efforts to recover stolen property listed on its website (as long as it doesn't take up much of our time). However, we can only investigate such a serious allegation if it comes from the Police.

So if you can get either Steward Copeland, Andy Summers - or preferably Sting (we like people to get stung) to drop us a line, we'll make sure we Do Do Do Do, Da Da Da Da absolutely nothing and make sure Every breath you take in reporting this is a wasted one. In fact, we'll Regatta de Blanc you at every opportunity.

Yours,

The eBay Safety Team

Yeah, otherwise it would be just fine as far as eBay is concerned

Just had a wonderful reply back from Ebay.............NOT!!!!

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to report a seller who you suspect is
offering stolen goods on eBay.

The sale of stolen goods is forbidden on eBay because it's against the
law to sell stolen property. eBay strongly supports law enforcement
efforts to recover stolen property listed on its website. However, we
can only investigate such a serious allegation if it comes from the
police.

If you believe that an item on eBay may be a stolen item, please inform
your local police and ask them to get in touch with us. The
investigating officer can then use the contact details provided in our
Safety Centre:

http://pages.ebay.co.uk/safetycentre/law_enforcement.html

We know your time is valuable and we appreciate you taking a moment to
express your concern to us. Thank you for helping to keep eBay a safe,
fun place to shop.

So it's not enough that I have reported it. Ebay expect me to go to my local Police Station and report it there too. What a joke., the last line of the reply did make me laugh.

Can't you bring up the serial number in service mode?

Never had to do it but i recall in a land far, far away a man mentioning something like that.. I could have been dreaming though!

Lee

Quite correct Lee

TM32 will give you the serial number!

Re: Great Paper Weight

Dillen — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 12:24:35 GMT

I asked the seller if he would agree to have the item brought
to an authorized B&O dealer or repairer for reading out the serial number embedded
in the processor to confirm that the item is legal to sell.
