Yes that is my picture. He stole it from by web site.

No they are not for sale.

This is the second time he has tried to sell whatever he has. The last time the buy it now price was $750. I guess they did not sell at that price.

Thanks Patrick.

I enjoyed the reply. He sounds like a real gentleman.

Actually I see my pictures and quotes from the site up on eBay all the time. I am past the point of worrying about it.

hi Joe

I'm not affraid of that
I know your pics are shown up al the time
even my pics and from al other handcuff collectors
the point here is that the seller don't want to give the real deal on a pic
and when I asked him about the pic he became angry so who is the bad guy in these

hope he wont sell the item

regards

Patrick

I don't think I may say it Joe edit it if you need to
but beware of soco390

Did anyone else notice that he will not ship it? Pickup only in New Jersey.
Brad: It's a long drive from northern California to New Jersey.

kinda scary to think of what might be waiting for you there in Jersey..
certainly not Joes handcuffs.
I would recommend taking along some body guards. (more expense)

Stan, for $3.00 I will have the stage coach pick them up.

Big secret: this time, since he reduced his Buy-it-Now to $250, I reduced my max bid to $2.00. Just call me wild and crazy.

I'm too busy writing for the Annual to mess with this guy, but I need a laugh now and then.

Okay, Okay, Okay.

I went to be bed feeling guilty. My wife has George Nouri on the radio and I can't sleep.

This auction is either an Eastern European or Nigerian scam. They have hijacked an innocent eBay member's ID to run this or else he is an incredible doofus fortified with a huge dollup of dishonesty and greed.

If he ain't got a picture to show, he ain't got the item. After you pay for it you are going to get --- nuthin'.

We see this scam all the time on rifle scopes and binoculars (I've reported dozens of them). They have rooms full of people scanning eBay all the time for new scams. I guess we should be proud that they finally made it to handcuffs.

My challenge to you - who among you has the huevos to up my bid by 50 cents?

Too bad eBay doesn't give a crap.

Happy bidding. Now I can sleep.

I wrote to him and asked if he would send me some close up pics of the key hole. I told him that they look exactly like the super rare variation that I have been looking for all my life and now I have found it!
I will start holding my breath for his reply and words of wit.

O--O

PS maybe he will get a digital camera for Christmas

I sent this guy an email asking how long he would give me to drive from Arizona to pick up the cuffs. Have not received any answer yet and not holding my breath.

He ended it early. Guess he did not want to answer all our questions. Wonder what the people who were bidding think?

"The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale."

Gosh, they are gone now. Although he would not ship them and the winner had to pick them up, at least the shipping was free.

Might even have gotten a free copy of a pic of Joe's handcuffs.

I suspect he didn't think handcuff collectors would get all over him. This scam usually works on Rolex watches.

Darn, I was pretty sure I had them this time. Oh well, maybe next time they come up.

So, I decided to do some online Xmas shopping and searched the internet for some holiday apparel and came across a quaint little shop that was to my liking.
It's odd and I can't quite put my finger on it, but there is something there that seems a little familiar to me:

I wonder if anyone else noticed a certain familiarity there.
