    All: I have asked the owner, Larry, to answer this question on 4 different occasions, and he remains silent. If you all want to call this "resolved," and feel fine about his explanation that "we sell things to Boston from time to time," but completely radio silent on this key question, well, I guess I will list my airplane hangars on eBay... :rolleyes:

    I don't understand why it matters what he sold to this individual on eBay. He chose to leave it private and it's none of our business what Larry sold to bostongroup.

    The issue has been resolved, can't we just leave it at that?

    It matters because he's hiding it and it just happened on the day his 'magical' Z's disappeared and BCG's soared, his story doesn't wash and nobody else ever hides those on another vendor's feedback listings . Harder to leave alone when you called two relatives to tell them Christmas was coming early. He's hiding the truth and it pisses me off.

    The BBB and Attorney General will take it from here.

    I've seen other sellers made the items they've sold in the past private. A reasonable explanation would be that someone got a good deal on an item(s) that the seller wanted to get rid of, and made it private so other people who spotted the deal afterwards won't inquire if the seller has more of said item. There's a million reasons why an item may be private and it really doesn't seem like that big of a deal. Just my two cents, but obviously you see it another way so I'll just agree to disagree. =]

    [i dunno how i ended up ion the sony section as im using HP]

    but here's my opinion:

    just let it slide this time. like what the above poster said,
    the issue has been resolved. why bring up another argument?

    and another thing is that there's no gain in what happened really. even if you look at all possible angles, they'll end up in the same position.
    -> Bad media, bad rep, etc.
