FYI – below is a description of a document being sold on e-bay – bidding closes on Aug-16-2006, at 16:31 PDT. Buy-it-now price is $275; e-Bay Item No. 330015727183; e-Bay web address: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330015727183&ssPageName=ADME:B:FSEL:US:1
I am not the seller nor do I have any associations with him – just thought some of you would like to know of the document’s existence.
