Description

****************This  is the second time these are being offered as EBAY has let  the previous winning bidder "stephenh92" out of her obligation in purchasing this item. I mention this so none of the other buyers who bid 25 times feel this was a shill running up the final cost. I am totally disgusted that ebay has allowed this to happen and vehemently protested this "new policy" and the only reason I mention it here .......So again,
