I laughed at that one too. We need a weekly/monthly award in a few categories. That would win top honors for auction title.

Man that dude is pissed at previous bidders.

Bitter indeed.

Especially China.........?

That seller has a few items that I might otherwise find interesting enough to make a go at.

But the inflexabilty in his angry statements combined with a $10 shipping cost for a single book (Or something), makes me turn away from even trying.

It just aint worth the trouble.

No ebay access from work but was this the guy who was complaining about shipping Media Mail costing so much?

I always love seeing the fees for picking up locally. The funny thing is that they just go ahead and list their home address on the auction. :lol:

And the media mail charge is jacked WAY up...

On an unrelated note, if you feel like you'd be interested in catching up on some reading, try this other one of theirs. Of course, your only option is the "convenience fee" for pickup...

What an idiot. He says that he only listed paypal because ebay wouldn't let him list otherwise.

I didn't realize Frank Mentzer had a nickname. I guess they don't call him "compiled by" for nothing :lol:

Trying to skate around selling pdf's and print outs? There's a nice long explanation. I'm not sure I buy that the seller has taken the time to scan in all of his items...

Excellent.

He might have gotten away with it but he posted his email address. A big no-no with ebay because they don't want people selling outside of ebay.

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