Yeah, and check out his feed back. 99.9% positive but if you check it out 90% of the responces seem to be bogus with the item link blocked out as private. The 12 mutualy withdrawn feedbacks is probably more representative of the sales he's actually made and doesn't want to talk about.

the thing that comes with it is the soda inside. you are bidding on the can itself and the soda inside comes with it. Its a technicality on ebay. you can't sell a bottle of soda so you sell the can that the soda comes in which just happens to be unopened. Thats how you can sell liquor on ebay. You sell the bottle as a collectible and it just happens to be unopened and full of whatever. That disclaimer or one like it has to be posted at the bottom of the sale page to be allowed on ebay.
