    Wow.

    They really want to minimize the winning bid, don't they? Depending on the item, I might consider trying to enter a "rip" snipe with a very low-ball bid, but with those terms I'd never offer anything *close* to what I'd offer with decent terms.

    Look at the amount of items that he sells that end up going for 0.01. I think he plans on it.

    Since he's not charging for 'licking the envelope', does that mean he doesn't seal it? Seems like licking the envelope would be a billable expense he should add on. Staying hydrated isn't easy; just think of the saliva lost licking an envelope or two. Now he has to buy something to drink as well.

    Prostrate problem? Does that mean he fell down and can't get up?

    No, it means he has been screwing people in the rear end for so long that *his* rear end is beginning to hurt. Sympathy pains, basically.

    I think he might be brilliant! On that auction, he sold a half dollar for one cent that he probably paid less than two bucks for. Then he charges $6 for shipping when the auction cost, materials, and postage are probably less than $1. So, on this coin he nets $3. And that is the worst case scenario. If anyone bids higher than a penny, it all goes to the bottom line.

    THAT CHARGE IS FOR MAILING THE ITEM, FOR ME PUTTING YOUR ITEM IN A MAILER, LABELING IT, CARRYING IT TO THE POST OFFICE, PROCESSING

    Even though two items equals half the work, 3 items one third the work...

    The seller clearly has a retention problem with an oblate glandular body above the urethra with over secretion of an alkaline viscid fluid, perhaps due to a projecting utricle from the posterior wall.image
