Yah it is nice to see one on ebay...But I wouldn't say refreshing, considering it was not labeled properly and Im sure slipped under the radar of most collectors(myself included).

I MISSED IT TOO BUT SOMEONE WITH SOME KNOWLEGE SAW IT AS THE BID WAS REASONABLE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MIS-LABELED.
IN THE OLD DAYS OF EBAY WHEN YOU BID AGAINST THE SAME PEOPLE AGAIN AND AGAIN SOME OF US WERE ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT BY SENDING AN EMAIL TO THE WINNER CONGRADULATING OR ASKING QUESTIONS. IT WAS A GOOD WAY TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE ITEM AND TO INVITE THE NEW OWNER TO POST ON THE FORUM. UNFORTUNATELY WITH EBAYS SECRET BIDDER POLICY NOW IT IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE TO MAKE CONTACT OR ASK QUESTIONS.

Vandoo, It is possible to find out who it was that bought this item IF the buyer leaves feedback. Just go to the sellers feedback list and look for the item and it will say who it was that won the bid. You just have to wait a week or so and hope the buyer leaves feedback. Then you can contact them and ask all the questions you want.

THATS GOOD TO KNOW THANKS ROBERT
ITS ALWAYS GOOD TO LET COLLECTORS KNOW ABOUT THE FORUM AS THERE IS MUCH TO LEARN AND THE MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE INVOLVED THE LARGER THE KNOWLEGE BASE AND MORE CAN BE LEARNED BY US ALL.

I have contacted a few buyers this way and told them about the forum but I have no idea if any have ever joined.

It might be like trying to inform a seller that their item isn't what they have it listed as. Sometimes they listen but most just ignore you.
