Fun with Ebay idiots

I was doing my usual searches this morning and came across a 1986 World Series Game Used Signed Ball.
Of course, it's actually a stamped facsimile ball. Then I checked the seller's other items, and he also has this 1953 Topps Mickey Mantle card straight from grandpa's attic. It, of course, is a 1991 Topps Archive card.
Being the day before thanksgiving, I don't have much to do, so I sent this message in response to the ball:
I hate to be the one to break the bad news to you, but your father never went to the 1986 World Series. He was with me that night. My name is Al and I had a flaming hot homos*xual affair with your father in 1986. On his way home that night, he must have stopped at a souvenir stand to pick up this phony ball. Those aren't even real autographs on it. Those are stamped on. Again, I'm sorry I had to be the one to tell you, but I know you wouldn't want to sell a phony ball to unsuspecting buyers. Love, Al
Then, in response to the Mantle card, I sent this:
Yep, more bad news. This card was made in 1991. It's a 1991 Topps Archive reprint of the 1953 set. I gave it to your grandfather in 1991 in payment for s*x. You see, he was a prositute and I needed some luvin'. I didn't have any money, so I told him the card was real and worth lots o' money. He didn't know the difference, so he took the card as payment. I feel terrible that he passed it on to you and you believe it's real. If it makes you feel any better, grandpa was VERY good at his job. Love, Al
Let's see who can make up the most outlandish story to send this guy about the origins of his ball and card!

going to be really upset on getting a reprint card.
<< <i>What do you mean if its a reprint that is blantaly the 1953 archives card. he deserves all the crap anyone gives him for selling garbage as the real deal.
The copy in this guy's ad is hardly touting this as "the real deal":
Im really not to sure about this card.I have had it for about 2 years. I got it from my grandfathers attic after he passed away.It has black tape around the entire case and im not sure why.I know it's a 1953 card because it has a piece of tape across the top that says "1953 MANTLE".I guess it is there either to hold the case down or to keep moisture out of the case.All of his other cards had the same black tape on it.The card is in good condition, it has alittle wear on the edges but no creases or water marks.S/H is $5.00 for this item.I accept money orders and personal checks,sorry no paypal.Happy bidding!
How much more clueless could a seller describe himself to be? Crappy auction? yes. Deserving of anonymous smut about his family? I don't think so. I'm amazed at the "heroics" some of you guys boast about on these boards. I think I've watched you stopped in a lane backing up traffic yelling at some guy who failed to indicate.
"All evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
just a few minutes after winning it. I didn't spend the time looking into it much more. Shill bidding???
"All evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
I just refer these auctions to Pandrews and Company for immediate action.
