in the auction:

Location : GYROBEE, United States

:rolleyes: has scam writen all over it

What is this guy thinking!!??? anyone who would buy a gyrobee on ebay has seen (i would hope) Ralph's website, but whoever is the current high bidder also won this auction on aug. 21st

Again I am new so please tell me how you can tell it is a scam, not that I would ever buy something like this without seeing it in person. And who is Ralph. Thanks Dave

Dave - all the info and pictures that are posted are copied from Ralph's website. The seller has 0 feedback. There is no location of the item. No description of condition/hrs. He is vague about payment method. This is without a doubt a fraud. I have sent an email to eBay to warn them of this fraud.

Dave,

Ralph Taggart is the original designer of the GyroBee. You can visit his site HERE (http://taggart.glg.msu.edu/gyro/gbee.htm).

Cheers,
Brian

Auction seems to be invalid now, at least I can't get to it.

eBay take fraud very seriously. They cancelled this bid less than two hours after I notified them of this fraud.
