Stihlfixing has been the focus of some threads here regarding some controversial "rebuilt" 038s he's been selling on e-bay. He lists them at high dollar starting amounts and they appear to have a lot of Chinamen parts. I think I'd avoid him.
There are a LOT of scams on ebay that fly under the radar. This guy is most likely NOT stupid. He just needs to launder some money. I have caught several sellers doing this. They 'list' an item for sale at some price. Sometimes they don't even bother to put up pictures and the description is very brief. By some miracle, the item sells, by golly! When you check the guy's feedback, he seems to sell to the same couple of users over and over. Hmmmmmm........
The mob used to LOVE junkyards, (and not just because you could put a body in the trunk of a car headed for the smelter) because nobody can really say how much money you can (or did) make when you parted out a car. They would make up invoices for EVERY PART of the car; door lock knobs, glove box doors, seat belts, EVERYTHING! That's how they created a legitimate origin for their money. That's what laundering is all about.
You can do the same with ebay and some do just that.

Thanks for the tip so next time i have laundering to do I'll remember ebay!
Sometimes I think of Ebay while laundering.... but it's usually making sure I separate the lights and the darks, which detergent to use, and which clothes the wife would KILL ME over if I dried them in the dryer :jester:

Be careful about putting your thongs in the dryer cause they tend to disappear.
Why don't you think about laundering that echo this way
Come to kansas, those things are everywhere, for $20 to $50
