[HH] impossibly cheap tablet

[Jack Coats]

Yep,  I got the same note on the tablet, on an unlocked android phone,
and a 3TB external disk drive, all
in the same price range that I managed to get on order somehow. (I
guess just before eBay got
in full gear).

I wonder what other devices they were trying to sell/scam?  Two days
ago they had one eBay userID, and
yesterday there was another.

Yea, I got sucked in.

Like I said yesterday, it if seems to good to be true, it probably is.
