You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

Technically, people are the pets/domestic animals of cats rather than the other way around, so the pet is whomever took the photo.

Love this guy's pleading for a sale in the second paragraph:

"I am in deep dog poo as I racked up $3,000 dollars worth in fines to the government."

you'd feel so confident sending this guy money wouldn't you!?

(lets face it, those DSR stars aren't really relevant when you're on the run from the law

Don't jinx my bid!

Then again, my losing this acution would be a good thing. I had to neg at least two different sellers today because items were incomplete and damaged. In order to keep the incomplete-complete balance, I now completely hate eBay. I expect items that are not listed by an Acaeum member to be missing bits (maps, pages, booklets) or be damaged (torn, taped, pencil, pen, marker). Febreeze and smoke is a new addition to my collection.

As for this seller, serving time in jail should take some of the fine away and give him an excuse for shipping the items late.

This guy/gal wants $40.00 to ship one mini to Canada!!! Or I can get First Class mail for $14.00!!!

Whats the world coming to? Other sellers only charge like $3.00 bucks or less for First Class mail for a single mini. Crazy I tell ya.

This is the same guy from a few posts ago.

That's OK, we make exceptions for you, Poofrog! if he is really in a world of shit, one would be nuts to buy from him. You might end up having to return ship to Alcatraz.

How many of us are going to ask him, "What are you selling exactly?" :twisted:

I found this one quite funny. (Circus theme music). Step right up. Step right up folks. This classic module available on Amazon for only a billion dollars and the Amazon Seller has lousy feedback compared to me. I'm willing to start the bidding on a similar item for.....
