Randy, why are you letting this seller’s listing make you angry on a beautiful early fall weekend? The seller has not insulted you personally. Neither you, nor anyone else, has to pay the asking price, or any price at all. You could have just posted the listing as a “Get a load of this!” without the drama of your puzzling-to-me sense of outrage.

I think a lot of people sell on eBay because they lack the people skills to be successful in person — Art of the Deal and all that. It is what it is.

P.S. If I had been eBay, I wouldn’t have let you contact the seller either, just to rant at him. But anyone can contact any seller over a listing so I call BS on that.
