Wow- I had seen all these posts about Tom Spearman being a con-artist in
the mac-related newsgroups and now I see it here with my own eyes! 

Tom. Listen up:

1. EVERYONE KNOWS YOU WROTE THE "TICKLE ME ELMO" RESPONSE TO YOUR OWN FOR
SALE MESSAGE. It was a pretty pathetic (and obvious) way to fake your
e-mail address. This can be easily verified by just looking at the  

2. Now that that's clear, what ARE you doing trying to sell a N64 for $500?
ARe you insane, or just stupid? The MSRP on this thing is $199.
Availability is not as limited as many people think.

THIS IS A WARNING- ANYONE THAT IS CONSIDERING TOM SPEARMAN'S AD- REALIZE
THAT HE  HAS POSTED UNDER A FALSE E-MAIL ADDRESS IN RESPONSE TO HIS OWN
MESSAGE. THIS, IN ADDITION TO THE FACT THAT HE IS OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO RIP
PEOPLE OFF WITH HIS $315  (NON-NEGOTIABLE- HA!) ASKING PRICE, MAKES HIM A
THREAT TO ANY INNOCENT NET-SURFER. BEWARE, AND DO NOT BUY FROM THIS MAN.
