I being a newbie and wanting to expand my capabilities as far as volume, bought this off of eBay. All others please beware, it is 2 colanders that don't even hook together and nothing inside to agitate the beans so they can sit on the bottom and burn.

I am working on returning it. I just wanted to let anyone who may fall into the trap to be careful. I unfortunately wasn't. No excuses just stupidity on my part. I should know better, I've been on eBay almost 15 years. As I said, I would like to be the last home roaster scammed by this seller.
+1, From reading the auction description it is clear to me that the person is selling only the basket for the beans. There is no motor, no spit, no grill. Even the title makes no reference to this being a complete roaster but only a basket.

don't forget the part where the 2 halves/colanders don't even hook together. it's not even a basket.
i think the word "scam" is appropriate.
