See the photo of her - nice shot - smart move to have her standing away from the trailer that she lives in  (or perhaps the asylum has a 'no pictures' policy!)

Umm, don't take this the wrong way, but what pic?

Ever done this? You spot an item, check the seller's feedback and notice, say, they've received one negative in the last year. So you go find the negative, then decide to check the feedback of the person who left it, and notice, for example, a string of like four negs in a row.

Now, even more curious, you start checking those in more detail, including checking the feedback of those who left the negs. Then you find a guy with like a minus-3 feedback and think "what the hell is that about?" and you start checking on him.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Later, you realize 30 minutes have passed and you can't remember what the original item was. Or, worse, the listing has actually ended.

Thats pretty scary, as that me to a T.

Ahh, holy cow, I missed that.   If you look real close though, I think you can in fact see the gate to the trailer park in the backround.

Warning signs:

Mother of six...oh my.  It's been used and abused.

Looks like Elvira on crack.

Lives in the woods like a raccoon.

Wore that same outfit to her prom.

Yow!

But, more to the point: it's still ridiculous to have a page that just airs all your dirty laundry. One of the first things I learned back in my newspaper days was "never defend yourself in print" ... so I'm just going to borrow that to say "never defend your (very shaky) feedback on your About Me page." Or, if you must do it, use the feedback-response button — that's what it's there for.

told you that was a goodun i picked there...one scary person indeed! and on the about me page, she also has a link to some pics of her pets too            

man she is one dozy bint thats for sure.

thats one funny page! i hever NEVER seen something like that before!

Awww, what a cute widdle kitty.     I gotta say that I think she is a bit out there with all of her "rules".  How much more confusing can someone make their shipping and handling info?  I dont want to have to deal with all that crap for a $15 book!

BUT....I understand why she is the way she is.  She is probably a fairly normal, intelligent person and is just sick of putting up with all of the frickin' retards of the world.  And as we all know, there are quite a few of them on Ebay.  For the most part, I thought that most of the responses she got from buyers were pretty asinine.  Hell, some of them couldnt even spell.  Her responses in her auction descriptions plainly state that if you dont like my rules, dont bid on my auctions.  So they probably cannot read either.

She will most likely need to change her rules if she wants to stay in business though.  Wouldnt it be a hoot if she put up a large lot and cougarrinard won?  I would love to see the emails from him pasted into her Dark Site page.  "What the f**k is an M-Bag anyway???".  

Weird picture. It kind of looks like she has two black eyes. Maybe she didn't listen the first time.

Didn't we have a buyer/seller train-wreck similar to this in the recent past? I seem to remember it as Cougie and Maxwell ... I think we got a few laughs out of it, but I can't seem to find the thread.

This would have been around the same time as Maxwell's fateful meeting with Jesus, IIRC.

** expired/removed eBay auction **


Remember we were talking about this guy?

He is the one who was selling counterfeit copies of The Compleate Tavern.

I asked him if this was an original or could possibly be a copy.

His answer:

"I don't know. I have no reason to believe it is a re-print, but for all I know, it might be. I am not the original owner."

As I recall, this is exactly what he said when asked about the provenance of his Gamelords counterfeits.

There is also this quote from his auction listings (emphasis mine):

You are bidding upon the 1984 Massconfusion 2 Convention Climax Module, The Dungeon of Dr. Demento.
I am selling off my entire collection of D&D books; I have many different copies of the same books (many different editions/printings) and they will all be listed in the following weeks.

I still might bid.
