Hi there, hrslvrnva here, the seller for the Amphi on eBay. I just
thought I'd clarify why I left positive feedback for the 'no sale'
auction. The person who's child accidently hit buy it now promptly
paid the $89.00 eBay listing fees on the auction. So I certainly
think they deserve the positive feedback. With all the scams on eBay
it's not uncommon these days to not get payment for an auction and I
think the fact that they were honest enough to get back to me and let
me know what happened and pay for thier 5 year olds mistake deserves
commendation. Obviously the Amphi didn't sell for those of you
watching the auction. If any one is interested please feel free to
email me at hrslvrnva@aol.com with any & all offers! Thanks!

Well, "hrslvrnva", events havetranspired to explain that curious activity. OTOH, your feedback could have just as easily read "Auction cancelled, mutually agreed, erroneous bid." Some of us do try to learn things about buyers and sellers from their feedback, so clarity of the feedback is essential.

BTW, maybe I'm too old-fashioned, but I don't like conversing with people who always use an alias.
