I noticed there is no photo of the inside. Out of interest I would like to request a photo, just to see if there actually is a Genie in there.

 

At that price I would be making sure it's there first!  Man LOL

It must have been pulled by ebay...they are the only ones who can make a listing completely disappear.

If the seller had ended it there would be a record somewhere.

I hope we did not inflate the price by discussing Genies.

It's fortunate for the seller that eBay's FVF is capped at $250 as I'd hate to be paying 9.9% of its entire value in final value fees.

Given they started it in double digits, I suspect that 9.9% on the whole price would leave them well ahead of what they expected to nett.
