I like his other auctions, too.
He apparently found some flame stickers somewhere and made some RARE! items with them.
Here's a Rare Schwinn Spitfire seatpost clamp. It's magic because the clamp oxidized, but the sticker looks like it was put on yesterday.
And here we have a RARE vintage Reliance lighter.
*** FIREBALL COLLECTIBLE/Vintage 40's Flip-Top "Zippo-Type" Refillable Lighter
"RELIANCE" MADE in JAPAN ,
also called "GOOD 'OL RELIABLE" back in the day! ***
Features: EL DIABLO "FIREBALL" design decals on FRONT & BACK!
(these are decals in homage to Harley Davidson motorcycles)
Dude really is insane.

No, the shipping is now $500 for "economy shipping".
What a crackpot!
Also, I like how he says "most of the decals are 100% intact!" Ok, so what does that mean, there are 25% of the decals are scuffed off?
I've got to learn from his auction style: "what paint is left is 100% ORIGINAL and there's one decal at the bottom that is 100% INTACT. THE BIKE IS COMPLETELY PRISTINE except for where the rust is showing."

Report all of his listings for excessive shipping.
He gives ebay a bad name (or should i say a worse name)
He has only 4 feedback scores as a seller and one of them is negative for "not as described", go figure.

His Mom's Cartier? watch is FERRARI RED! too. 99 cents with $499 shipping.
I reported all of them. He's too stupid to breathe, let alone try to sell things on eBay.
All of the Nikes he's listing are minus box. Wanna bet that they're stolen?

when did the price go up to $7500? I'll have to pump his ego a bit more and see if it goes to 10K

He also has a "Lotus Beach Bike Cruiser" that was made by Shimano for Lotus the car company. Uh huh. Looks like a cheap 26" BMX cruiser to me. He also says it's a seven speed, and "YOU MUST BE OVER 5'10" TO RIDE THIS BIKE. IT IS MADE FOR TALL!." It's some ridiculous amount of money.
The best is the Giant Iguana "XTB" bike. He says it's a 2003. Looks like a 1993. 1" quill stem, no suspension, etc. He sez it was professionally assembled by a bike mechanic. Well, of course it was. It has "X-Games" grips. ie: grips off of a Huffy. Tubes are, of course, Bell - straight from WalMart. The bike is, of course, RARE!!!!1 He's only asking $699.99 plus $175.00 shipping for it. What a bargain!
Basically, he's a bike flipper who hasn't realized that the bike-flipping days are over. And they were never THAT good...

the real bad news is he is completely serious. he wants to contact me outside of ebay so he can.
**"If you don't mind, I would be more comfortable corresponding with you if we can speak more freely and I will give you more information then."**
I do not know what more information there could be.

"don't even bid on this if you are under 5'10"
DARN! I've got $10,000 burning a hole in my pocket and the ad says he won't sell it to me!
For kicks, you should call him up and record the conversation. It'd be fun for us to all hear. I wonder what secrets he'll reveal. Maybe it was ridden to victory by Lance Armstrong!

He's getting more insane. Maybe he needs $$ to buy crack?
He just listed a shiny new BELL coin holder for 2010 Camaro and Corvette.
His price? 99 cents plus $29.85 shipping.
His cost? $3.97 at WalMart.
What an idiot.

BG: Pass his contact info to me and I'll transcribe the resultant conversation in a separate thread 
I guess when he writes (at the disclaimer point, when he attempts to stave off the time-waster questions) he "has better things to do with his time", he means the inordinate amount of time he spends crafting his outstanding Ebay listings...
There's no way anybody would give a guy as thick as this a real job...right?

No bids so far on that amazing bike.
And proof Ebay doesn't care about upholding their rules. All $.99 auctions with $200+ shipping

Okay, I haven't read every post here, so please forgive me if this has been mentioned before.
Y'all have said many times it's a crazy ad, the seller must be crazy, any buyer would have to be crazy, ebay is crazy, etc.
But did anyone point out the seller's ebay username?
Whatever you think of the joke, the seller is in on it.

I think he's in on the "joke as its costing him maybe $10 in listing fees to make the joke. If someone falls for the joke and buys something will he say "sorry, just joking".
Maybe everyone should get in on the joke too with false ebay accounts and bid the crap out of all his auctions and then not pay. That'd be funny too.
Ebay is bad enough, I wish people like him and his "jokes" would be banned.
