Heh ... especially when you consider this:

He buys a Sammy V box on 1st September:

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/at...1&d=1285595702

He sells a Sammy V box on 24 September, insisting it 'works with Nagra 3' but insists on postal orders for payment:

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/at...1&d=1285595702

Whoever bought this deserves everything they get.

Oh, hang on:

It seems there's no honour among thieves after all.

I thought ebay had some fairly strict rules about this?

Someone mentioned that earlier in the thread ... IIRC ebay won't act on allegedly stolen goods unless reported by the owner of said goods (i.e. VM) or the police.

Another poster reported them and got that response from Ebay a couple of weeks ago.

They probably released a few Burglars and muggers early to make room for them, so everything ok there then.
