Well, I guess this shows that some people will pay for information!

Like the guy who brings his car to the mechanic for engine trouble. The mechanic charges him $50, and he forks it over. Mechanic takes out a hammer, and whacks the engine, now the engine works fine. Guys says, "Hey, give me my $50 bucks back. Even I could have done that." Mechanic: "Yeah, but would you have known where to hit it?"

Regarding the ebay auction, this looks perfectly fine, though a little bit shady for a FTer to sell it to others. Perhaps it's also taking advantage of people who aren't so travel saavy, but selling a legitimate service, right?

After all, it's not illegal to tell someone how to do something. Unless you're a lawyer for Microsoft. :P
