Sheeeeeeesh, Ebay again!

Anyone see this:

Lee Enfield No32 Sniper Scope Cleaning Cloth L1A1 on eBay, also Original Period Items, WW II 1939-45, Militaria, Collectables (end time 11-May-09 05:22:13 BST)

A real live sniper cleaning cloth - is this for real, does such a thing exist? I'm sure our experts will know.

Tried to bid for an item on E-bay only to have my bid rejected as I don't have a Paypal account attached to my E-bay account. I never will as I can't see letting a third party have access to a credit card account.

Actually the issues happen when you got your bank account tied into PayPal. A credit card company will do a back charge to get their money back if PayPal tries to screw you. But with a bank account you got nothing to protect yourself with. Thats why my PayPal account is still "unverified"

Still at the rate the Parker Hale RAHS3 scope rings are going at the one auction ( # 170329665133 ) for ~95$CAD or so once you factor in postage I am glad I made my own rings. I don't think I can justify that much for a pair of rings. Mind you I paid for anodizing and for courier to and from the Anodizers 150$CAD but still.

By the way looking at Ebay UK, there are some vultures there.

D-Day Assault Vest - At The Front Reproduction Apparently

180 POUNDS for a vest in stock from the supplier for 175$ USD.
