Ok, we've been talking about this Vendo 81 B that Myself and Collecture where bidding on and I won, that spawned the thread about user id's and such... SO get this...

I won the auction, Conctacted the seller letting them know I'd pick it up and pay cash instead of the paypal invoice they sent me.

I get an email from the seller, this guy from Kyles collectables in Iowa, saying to contact the owner as he was selling it for her, turns out the lady that I've spoke with last week about the machine and condition, parts, etc..

I contacted the lady this morning via phone and introduce myself as the winnng bidder and would like to come get it tomorrow or Wednesday. She says, that there has been a problem and the machine is not available !!!! I said what... I won the auction, you have contractually through Ebay committed to sell it to me.. She goes on about some family squable over the weekend over her fathers estate and one of the other kids wants to buy the machine?  I again repeated that I, through Ebay's eyes am entitled to the machine, she said Not sure what will happen and takes my name and number... I'm fearious.... and email the guy who was listing it and told him to look into this and get it resolved as he is the one who will get the negative feedback from me in the event this all goes sour!... THoughts??? Suggestions???

Just heard back from the person who listed it for her, and he too was concerned as he is out his 20% i guess he contracted with her to sell off an estate of stuff... he is telling her it's her obligation to give up the item, and apparently she has an estate lawyer who granted her permission to sell the stuff. Turns out the "Family Members" who are opposing the sale, are Adopted siblings so hopefully the lawyer will back them off.?? Fingers crossed... luckily however I have sent no money!!!  I'll keep you updated... '<img'>  '<img'>
