Well, you can add this to your collection of stupid and funny "spoof" emails designed to learn one's eBay password, etc. It has to do with my current H. C. Edwards chip auction. He asks this ridiculous question (I live in New York):

"Hi, I would like to know if is possible to ship to New Jersey? I am very interested so I'll wait a response. Have a nice day." [Maybe he wants to know if the Indian raids have subsided so the Pony Express can get through]

Actually, maybe the stupid question is brilliant. It is so disarmingly dumb and innocent, that maybe it is likely to get a response. (Also: instead of addressing the email to me, it puts in the user ID of the high bidder. And the sender gives himself zero feedback.)

The auction: H.C.Edwards advertising poker chip:inlaid, dice,1950's
