    That's pretty brazen since the cat was already out of the bag. So did someone finally figure out whether it was dead or alive?

    The mess up was trying to be anonymous in the first place. What else are they hiding?

    It has been my experience that the only real way to make a profit on eBay is if you stole the item in the first place...

    On a completely unrelated note, I have a used PSP listed for ten bucks, if anyone is interested.
