One for the record book - eBay story to share.

So, in November of 2013 I sold an item to a guy in Brazil for $120 and it was sent via Registered Mail. Tracking shows that its in Brazil and I don't hear from him again.... until....
yesterday when he emails me telling me that he noticed that I just sold and item just like the one I sold him. I explained to him that it's similar but not the same one and that his item was never returned to me and I guess he never received it. So we go back and forth with emails and this mornings email he asks me to file a claim with the Post Office! I told him that if I did, they will deny it because you must file within 1 year. I called eBay to let them know about the whole thing and I told the lady that I've got one for the record book. She tells me that she's pretty much heard them all, right? So I told her about all of this and the 2.5 years have past and she tells that it's the best one she's heard in a long time and it is one for the record book!

The streets of the world are safer because all the nut jobs are on eBay!
In 30+ years I have done nothing positive for the hobby because I'm lazy!
