I'm a long-time occasional lurker, keeping my ID quiet as I haven't ruled out the possibility of wanting to buy more stuff from Mr Rinard in the future (as he has the UK eBay market kinda sewn-up, he's hard to avoid), but the above was too funny not to post here!

Xaxaxe wrote:Cougie loses money every morning that he rolls out of bed and decides not to cancel his eBay account. This can be confirmed with a few simple searches:1. He buys a lot of stock;2. The same stock is mostly sold at a loss ... if it sells at all. I've never seen another seller with the percentage of no-sales that Diamond Dave has.As others have mentioned, his money comes from somewhere else, likely a trust fund or a pension or something similar that he can count on every month. It certainly doesn't come from eBay sales ... he'd literally be out on the street if that was the case.
