Just another eBay rant

I passively work on my 2001 Topps Heritage chrome set. I'm a little more than halfway done. On eBay I see one listed for $55.97 (currently discounted from $79.95). There was a BIN for $90 in May and a completed auction for $28 in April. I send them a message to see if there's any wiggle room on price. They respond with a perfectly fine version of 'No', so I say, "Understood. Thanks!"
Then I get "I was researching to list a Canseco & Alomar '01 Heritage chromes. I found you two Bonds chrome's /552 one $89 and the other $104. So, I blocked your pathetic account from buying from me since I have no use for card-flipping scum. Go hit the flea markets and garage sales for cards then."
Checking their feedback, and it isn't too surprising I guess.

Seems undeserved but I do understand the frustration there. If someone sends me comps I will usually ignore them because I know they’re going to be a problem and not worth the time.
The sellers unsolicited and uneeded 2nd response contain the hallmarks of a true posterior hole!

WOW - somebody is grumpy..
As a collector, seller and buyer, I do prefer to sell to collectors. However, I don't care that much if a flipper, set breaker, or live sealed pack breaker buys from me. It's really none of my business what they do with it after they own it.
wow, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
