I need help, can you help me?

[leader-of-the-band]

I saw something on eBay that I would like to buy.

Title:  just a cabinet

Problem is I'm a bit strapped for cash at the moment.  Can you help me?  I have a few dollars and only need the other $14,999,987.65

What will you get for you help?  You will get a picture of me with the cabinet!

Be quick though, listing ends shortly after 1pm tomorrow.

Thanks in advance, LOTB

Darn it, too late. I was going to add my 10c worth :^O

PJ, thanks for the thought, it is very much appreciated.

In fact, thanks to all who have voted in my Poll . . .  NOT ONE vote for "No, I can't help" . .. . . . . cool . . . . . . but I will keep dreaming.

Yes, I did.  Strange thing though, even though I got the email they did not remove the post!  Every other time I have got a violation the post has been removed.  Very strange.

Here is the email I got (exactly as it came to me - not edited in any way).

I have a folder in my email that is called "eBay posting violations".  I almost have a full set!  Not that I am trying to get violations.  This last one I got was the first for me for that particular violation.
