Sad auction story [exidy sorcerer]

Thank you for posting the pointer and making the facts and
identity of the seller known so that rest of us can caveat
emptor. Many would have sucked it up and kept quiet rather
than let others know they had been cheated, and letting us
know took some guts.

I would have been fooled by this picture too--but what you
bought may well be valuable as an advertising mockup. I think
there would be some poetic justice if (after trying all
the remedies available to you) you sold it on eBay
as what it was and doubled your money--and made sure the
seller knew!

An aside:
I had to create an ID just to view the auction--this was
somewhat irritating, and I hope the information I gave
suitably contaminates their marketing database. The seller's
ID (in case that's all someone was after and he doesn't want
to go through the trouble of making up a birth date,
occupation, etc.) is jwzerocool. Of course, it's pretty
easy to crunch all the user ID's one wants on any of these
sites.
