[vcf-midatlantic] A sign of the End Times ...

The listing text is weird.

There are pictures in the listing already, why would someone need to
request a picture?

Please advise?  Advise about what?

It's good to know that the specs that are included in the short-term
listing on the auction site eBay can be used for short-term listings on
auction and classified sites.  Can they not be used for anything else?  Is
that important to include?

This feels very scamlike.
