To be fair, our good brethren from the CR list in Germany should be made aware of the "other" item the seller is also auctioning.

If i was doing a bit of goodwill for another lister i would make sure to either bring a pair of shoes appropriate to make a quick getaway or bring a buddy in case the seller is a Gimp with devious intentions of some lewd form of bait & switch. Then again, maybe some of our Deutsche bro's are into frocks, opera gowns & a sing-song to the tune of "I'm a Lumberjack".

Whatever you do, don't fall for the "I have some New In Box Campagnolo parts in my basement" line - unless it's your scene.
