Last Wednesday on eBay somebody actually paid $125 for a metallurgy term paper titled "AISI 4142 Steel for Automotive Crankshaft". It was advertised as having obtained a grade of B+ in 2002 from Prof. Robert Baren (Temple U.?) The listing indicated that all journal and literature search material was included. The listing actually was for a sale at $0.25 (to lower eBay's charge?) with shipping and handling of $99.75 and shipping insurance (required) of $24.95.
I assume the buyer intends to fraudulently pass this recycled work off as his own. The only way to stop this kind of crap is to let everybody know what is being tried, and make the investment worthless. Maybe the buyer just got a different kind of education than he planned!
