What sickens me is how these idiots don't do any research whatsoever and get angry when I inform them of the truth. I have since stopped wasting my time and have to let the idiots rot with their overly high priced purchase, even though I want it but can't afford it. No anger in this whatsoever!

Jose, I know what you mean. I had all intent of bidding on this when I first found it and sent a message to the seller to let him know what he had (I did NOT mention the fact that I was going to bid on it) but the information I offered was completely ignored. Like you, this was not the first time that I have offered help in identifying someone else's items just to be ignored and on one occasion very rudely told to mind my own business.
On the other hand I have been thanked and even had people change their listings. Being the perpetual optimist I don't seem have the good sense to stop.Robert |

I never contact Sellers anymore; gave that up about 6 years ago .
Total waste of time and effort; plus your good will and intentions . We need a Financial Darwin Award for the biggest eBay Sucker every year .  **Of course as long as they're not forum members .....

Hello Rick,
If we do ever decide to have a Financial Darwin Award for forum members I nominate myself for that pair of klewangs SLO's that I purchased.  Robert |

The Quarter Million Dollar Tulwar
Since you took the bait .
A Tulwar years ago . My top bid was supposed to be $250. or so ; well I put in a comma instead of a decimal point . It was not an expensive Tulwar; another bidder ran it up to over $500.00 just out of spite I believe . I had outbid this person before on another item . OOPS !! Methinks I got off easy .
