>From this guy's tone, I get the impression that he would not have gone
through with the transaction if he won.  The comment "I bid that up to
teach an idiot a lesson..." indicates to me that if the "idiot" hadn't
bid higher, old Joe there would have blown off the item.

However, he has a lot of positive feedback and no negative remarks.
And, he's purchased over $1400.00 worth of Viewmaster items in the past
month.  So, either he has a really profitable resale market or a large
disposable income.

So, if anyone has a VM S1, I'd recommend posting it to eBay and letting
<jsm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it.

BTW, what IS a VM S1.  Does it project in stereo or mono?  Can anyone
point me to a URL so I can have a look-see?

Also, I like the fact that eBay sellers post pictures of their items.
I've heard a lot of the names on our list, but seeing a picture of them
is really nice!.
