[geeks] Ebay. Aaaagh!

A seller is demanding that I call their long distance phone number during
business hours to complete the sale.  I'm not getting a great deal anyway.
I haven't decided whether to just give and buy a phone card for the job
(since I can't make long distance calls at work, and I'm always working 
during their business hours), or whether to give up and post bad feedback
(which will probably also get me some bad feedback).

They didn't say anything about having to call them in the auction. Perhaps
I should start making a point of asking people about whether I will be 
required to call them long distance before bidding on cheap, small items,
such as this one (a VRM).
