looks like an image off of www.lockpickshop.com. I also noticed that there were auto jigglers. These must be sent via UPS. Aswell, last time I checked, ebay wouldn't permit the sale of locksmithing tools such as those.
In regards to your post. You simply provided a link. This doesn't tell me much about how you feel about this. Perhaps you have knowledge as to what's going on with this. It, of course, doesn't look very authentic but what are you trying to convey to us.
The only method of communication on this site is through these posts. Therefore, Grammer, Spelling, and intelligent posts are neccessary to accomplish this.

He's not selling tools. I can't belive this guy is selling the MIT guide.

Read the page. He's trying to sell the MIT guide for $4.99.

I wouldn't trust buying from that individual. His spelling mistakes alone tell me all I need to know.

Assorted thieves have been selling the MIT Guide in E-book/PDF format as well as CD-ROM and they have been ripping off Steve Hampton's Paladin Press books and everything else they can get their little cancerous digits on. I despise thieves and plagiarists as well. I'm in the process of writing a book, as far as I'm concerned, people like that should be locked up and by court order, never allowed to own a computer again.

You see all sorts of nonsense on E-bay, "CIA" this and "FBI" that, lockpicking manuals, it's all a bunch of bunk anyway. If the CIA has something special, I guarantee you some thief in Iowa, selling on E-bay, does not have the scoop.

E-bay makes everyone abide by California Law when it comes to locksmith tools and whatnot, it's a shame they don't care about larger issues like IP.

The problem is that there's noone that goes to ebay and tells them "I made that guide, stop people from selling it". We had the same problem in Germany last year when people were selling the german translation of the guide. Our club's lawyer contacted Ebay and it stopped. So while this may not help with TDFKATMITG, it would work for Steve Hampton and Pyro.

The image is of one of Southord's combination kits, I believe. I looked for a "report this seller" link, but couldn't find one. Oh well. I've seen people pulling bigger scams on ebay...$1.00 per DVD rewind, for instance :roll:

whats not to trust, all he does is email you a link to something thats
is easily found on the internet anyway, its just like all the ebay marketing
ebooks, you pay anywhere from $1 to $45 for a fwe ebooks that have
distribution rights.

you bid, you pay and your link is in the email you get from paypal...

Thats what I love, people selling goodies for gaming, buy imaginary armour,
weapons and whatnot for real money... at least its not as bad as the guy that
sold a waterhose nozzle as a piece of the crashed space shuttle trying to
claim it as a fuel injector... it reached more than $100k in bids

The saying a fool and his money are soon parted springs to mind - the real question is how did the fool get his money in the first place?

lol well i guess having someone give them the link would be worth it to some wanna-be CIA agents

the real sad thing is if you look at the other items these people sell they are almost all guides that you can find free online, and check to see their feedback rating and how many people are bidding.

You have someone with a 3000 feedback rating charging 5$ per guide and you found someone who made +15,000$(you have to include people not giving feedback) for selling free stuff on ebay. Not only that but there is no work involved, you just email an attachment.

What really gets to me are those yellow wrist bands for cancer that sell 1$ int eh store but 20$ on ebay.

Its real tempting to start doing that, too bad i was born with a conscience

omg.. ebay scam
