[Husker] Caution-eBay

[David Strong]

Dick...that is an awful story and all I can think is "there, but for the
grace of god, go I".  I do exactly what you did from time to time, most
recently with last Saturday's game.  And as much as I can check a seller or
broker, I always worry until I have the tickets in my hand that something
will go wrong and I will lose my money.  It happened to me recently with
renting a vacation rental and everything looked good.  Property management
company then folded and I lost my money (and quite a few others as well).
Frustrating because you have so little recourse and it is almost a certain
waste of time.  I really feel bad for you.
