Seems weird, I fully agree. But that is what he told me, so I passed it on.

Jesse sent an email to the list, original subject 'Hewlett-Packard 3000, 9000, Itanium (HP-UX & MPE/iX) Servers, Storage Arrays, Replacement Parts, Maintenance, & Disaster back-ups' and put his email and website in the message. Going to that website, cypress-tech.com, we can go to the 'ebay store' page where the apparently official ebay store of Cypress Tech is linked to. Following the link, http://stores.ebay.com/Cypress-Technology-Inc we see that this is the same seller as the original gold scrap ebay link, https://www.ebay.com/itm/382505855460 Here is the list of reasonable possibilities that I can think of: - Somebody sent a fake email, from a fake Cypress-Tech.com, and made a fake ebay page with the sole purpose of defaming this person (I'll admit, not entirely out of the realm of possibility if there were someone with a grudge against him) - Jesse does not maintain full exclusive control over the ebay store, and one of his coworkers/employees have posted the gold scrap auctions without his knowledge (I suppose this is possible) - You've been lied to, or otherwise you made a mistake Please correct me if I've made an error somewhere, and please don't take this as a personal attack of any kind. I don't have any interest in this matter really, but my BS detector was showing a reading, so I checked it out a little deeper and that's what I found.
