Does this give you an idea of how tricky this one can get?

Not a hoaxer. As suspected.

Paid in full.

I never do. I always wait until the cash is in my paypal. And even then I keep the reciepts until the 45 day period is over on ebay.

Saying that, the guy has 100% for over 100 score on ebay. He has also contacted me in the past asking if I plan on making another cube.

Don't be too sure... It might be a hoaxer. Don't ship until you've got the money!

This is the last bump before I say how much it fetched. There are 6 hours left on this one. It's still at �41, so it remains to be seen if it'll go for more. I hope so, but if not, at least I made my target.

I'm happy now. Less than 24 hours after hitting ebay, my cube has passed the �40 that would cover my costs, fees and shipping and still leave me enough for a similar / slightly better graphics card.

Thanks, yeah someone pointed it out to me.

When I upload for ebay I upload as private, then I can add the link to the vid to the description on the auction site.

Then I copy the auction link to the vid description and make it public.

I guess that part didn't go through first time and I failed to notice.
