RCmodeler #18 Posted October 9, 2003 P.S. Did you ever bother to actually LOOK at the address? (Yeah I know... strange concept... looking to see where you are.) Well I did: www.ebay.ru RUSSIA. (Or possibly Rumania...not sure... point is, it's not ebay.com) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
