[A6] Mini vs A6 part 2 (and CS80)

[Scott Metzger]

I saw a CS-80 with a starting  price on ebay of 3,500 bucks.  The
listing said Northern California which is close to me, problem was
though,  The guy wrote back to me after I asked him a question, and
his English was horrible.  I then knew he had to be some kind of
scammer..

Then 4 days before end of auction, it was taken down by ebay I believe.
