With that many transactions, there are *always* bound to be
some idiots who will have a problem with something, it's just the
actual items themselves i don't get..

Go through and read the feedback. That guy obviously deals with a lot of crappy items and thus has to deal with a lot of crappy Ebayers who expect to receive an antique in mint condition when they paid $0.99 for it. One guy bought about 10 items, left positive feedback for all but one because (and I paraphrase) "this frame is a piece of junk. I wouldn't hang it on my wall." Wow.

This is a bargain basement liquidation outfit--as accurately reflected in the seller's name.
Obviously selling to people who don't understand that "you get what you pay for" and were expecting something else.

I love his description:
"Please note that this item may have some damage to the Rim which appears to be Ben tin some place,also Hardware may be missing . As with all liquidation products this is sold 'as is' and what you see in the photo is what you are bidding on."
Yea... just a little bending... i just looks like a taco, s'all...

Of course, if you know what you're looking at, do your own work, and got them cheap enough, for some people, there may be parts worth salvaging--tires, tubes, spokes, and it may be possible to true at least one of the wheels...
A friend of mine has built an entire e-bay business by repairing junk he bought off e-bay, and at rummage sales... He quit his day job long ago.

The seller claims to be "#5" on ebay, but I think he means he's the fifth worst seller. I don't think he's being criticized unfairly, because most people are hesitant to ever leave negative feedback, regardless of how badly they were ripped off. Selfishly, they deem it better to protect themselves from the inevitable retaliation than to raise a red flag for others. One look at this seller's feedback comments bears this out. Many of the buyers who left positive or neutral responses felt they were ripped off.
Someone with only an 88% feedback rating should be avoided at all costs.
