Did you ever want to buy something just so you could neg the idiotic seller?

I don't know what's the real pits -- that or this

Wow. A warm-n-fuzzy troll (not!) and 800 quid for some decimal Brit coins. Ain't eBay grand?

PS- Roy- inquiring minds wanna know, for curiosity's sake- how do you make a link from a picture, or in you case, three emoticons?

Somewhere I have a tutorial on how to do it in regular HTML, but that is something I never learned.

All you have to do is put the "emoticons" where the words of the link should go.

Example:

[ L = : n e r v o u s ; ] h t t p : / / w w w . p c g s . c o m [ / L ]


The boards will only let you do it with emoticons (not with pictures).

For HTML, it is done as follows:

<A HREF="http://LINK"><IMG SRC="http://IMG LINK"></A>

Yes. All the time actually. It won't be long before I set up an alt id just for that.



Now regarding the auction with the Japanese mint set,I think it's so offensive that it's funny.

As a rule of thumb, I don't buy from sellers who can't figure out how to turn their caps lock off. For those who frequent eBay, there is an obvious trend between scams, stupid auctions, and unrealistic auctions.... this trend lies in the use of the caps lock.

Just my take on it.

lordmarcovan

SO YOU'RE SUGGESTING I SHOULDN'T TYPE MY UPCOMING RUN OF AUCTIONS LIKE THIS, THEN, JARRETT?

Oh, yeah:

If you are going to add the caps then you have to go all out. Add some some extra eBay hype words in the title as well, ending with needless exclamation points (with a one at the end for good measure).

ex: MONSTER L@@K RARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

That would really beef it up.

Link #1: Hmm, someone hasn't learned about how to treat customers, win freinds and influence people, have they? How did he ever get a turquoise star?

Link #2: I wonder how much that cost to list? £800 and a reserve?

Links #3 and #4: Jarrett, you've created a monster!

I have seen this guy's eBay posted before. I can't understand how he even had 2 feedback instead of what he has.

I hope the guy doesn't have a brick and mortar store, can't imagine how he would greet a customer....

lordmarcovan

Yeah, now you'll never know where I'm hiding secret links, unless you click on every innocuous looking emoticon...

Hmm. "innocuous" is one of those words that looks like it's spelled wrong, even when it ain't.
