I looked at this exact ad last month, and 6 months earlier. It seems
like the same ad and the Newt but if you read the text it is a
comparable Newton - the newt pictured ain't the one you're gonna get.
I enquired and heard back from a guy named Ferdi who (first) would be
happy to sell it directly for less than the posted price of $250 (I
think it was that - ah fergit). I get the feeling either this is the
unluckiest Newton to never get sold, or he's doing a number of them and
going through eBay for advertising.
In any event, there are some vague whisperings about a Ferdi here on
the newsgroup - perhaps someone else can vouch for the person? Or not.
