  • When I had my shop, I was offered items all the time.
    Always with a story.

    I put up this sign:

    "SOB STORIES WON"T GET YOU A DIME MORE"

    I still got the stories though.

    Hell, I even see them on our own B.S.T. forum here.

    I think he let it slip right here: "100% of The Money Goes to Fight for Emergency Legal Custody of my baby Boy David."

    Doesn't someone have a sig line that says something like save the story, tell me the price?

    Not that I want to be overly harsh, but that is WAY MORE than I ever want to know about an Ebay seller.

    He11, even more than I want to know about most of my family members image

    My Baby had Pnominia

    image
  • But the poor kid has "PNOMINIA"???????
    Any MD's out there? Must be a very rare disease.
    And anyone else here have a coin collection when you were TWO?
    The kid is more interested in what's in his diaper than what's in a roll of coins!

    In looking at it again, trying to figure out if shipping is $2, or $3, or $5, as he mentions all three prices, I noticed the permanent text at the top and bottom, the stuff you put into your listing format, is all correctly spelled and understandable. My guess is the terrible Mom did all that for him, before she left for work so he could work from home doing this.

    The cure for this is a surgical procedure - the Eyerectomy.

    The guy needs to go back to grade school to learn how to spell and correctly use punctuation.
  • Hold on folks... any minute somebody's gonna come crashing into this thread saying how terrible you all are and "what if it's true?!"

    ... not me.

    Oh, now I get it. I didn't know what you meant by our BST until I just looked. Don't usually go there.

    the ironic thing about all this to me, is that it is probably all true.
    poor people have such colorful lives.

    Could be. Sounds like a chicken or egg thing, which came first?

    Did it all happen because he sat around the house "doing coins" on his computer all day while his wife went out and worked until she got sick of him? Or vice versa? I think his response to the situation, doing coins on his computer, 1c coins for $5 plus $3-5 shipping, gives a clue. Hasn't learned a thing, and blames someone else.
