"Would sell for £9.99 but there is a few people interested so you will have to be"

Bad English translator???

<< Bad English translator??? >>

The fella is English. He also sent a well worded e-mail thanking me for paying him so fast and telling me he would send my coins Tuesday. Oh well, at least it was a positive.

OD'd on the Guiness, perhaps

MSD61 · February 28, 2005 10:17AM

OKay I think I get it now... I gather he is saying the coins would have sold for 9.99 pounds but it seems few people were interested in the coins so you are the lucky one. Okay it's a shot in the dark...LOL!

I got them for £35, if he wanted to sell me some at £9.99 I'd buy a truckload, but I think you are on the right track.

He outsources the listings to India....

Maybe he is sober and you are drunk?

Aethelred · February 28, 2005 10:54AM

There is a good chance of that!

ajaan · February 28, 2005 10:56AM

I new it. Now send me payment for pointing this out.

<< I new it. Now send me payment for pointing this out. >>

What is the fair market value of info like this?

ajaan · February 28, 2005 11:01AM

Well since I typed 'new' instead of 'knew' I would say the market value is very low.

I'll send you an old paperclip and some belly-button lint.

ajaan · February 28, 2005 11:06AM

<< some belly-button lint >>

Geez! Don't pull a lordmarcovan on me.

Aethelred · February 28, 2005 11:07AM

Oh, you already have some of his so mine isn't good enough?

ajaan · February 28, 2005 11:07AM

I'll give it to Kelly. Maybe she can use it.

Aethelred · February 28, 2005 11:09AM

<< I'll give it to Kelly. Maybe she can use it. >>

For what?

Askari · February 28, 2005 11:09AM

I guess he simply hasn't realized there's a limit on the number of characters you can input ... and then didn't care to rewrite it when he ran out.

ajaan · February 28, 2005 11:11AM

Mark, what are trying to do, get this thread back on topic? Geez!

Aethelred · February 28, 2005 11:19AM

Yeah, or I was drunk.

I just had a seller leave me a positive,,,,"Thanks for pament, but postage wasn't enough for insured mail,I had to pay for"

Not only was there no mention that insur. was required on the $16 coin,,,he did not insure it, but sent it as "Delivery Confirmation" only, no signiture required. What are these sellers thinking

PuddlePirate · March 1, 2005 11:50AM

Sounds like one of those sellers trying to make "a little extra" off the S&H.

Living in Alaska I get treated by some sellers like I live in Africa. S&H goes up 2-3x. It really ticks me off because we have USPS just like everyone else.
