Okay point here:
I list an item for sale.
I get a message from an eBay buyer/seller. Unasked for.
I respond with an answer proving items like this sell.

    eBay certainly has its share of weirdos.
    Now he can say on his resume that he was a business consultant.

    Strange. I don't see what he was attempting to gain from this interaction. After this, he doesn't really expect you to work with him on a price that meets his expectations, does he?

    Some people think that eBay is like a coin forum.

    He must be getting higher quality at a discount. Ask him his source. :D

    The question for the OP is why bother to respond?

    And some people mistake a coin forum as eBay...

    I've gotten similar emails. I'm not sure why anyone has time to make random comments about items they aren't interested in.

    I once had someone email me about a damaged though otherwise expensive stamp (50 cent Trans-Mississippi). His original statement was that such an item was not collectible and I should not sell it. I responded that he need not buy it and that some people liked to fill a hole for a couple bucks when a sound copy would be a couple hundred. He responded that I was morally questionable for enticing someone to waste their money. I stopped answering.

    One other person once emailed me to tell me that I must be a crook because my 100 ounce silver bars were too cheap relative to other eBay listings. [Keep in mind, I have perfect feedback with over 20,000 ratings.] I told them I got them cheap and silver had moved up, but he just reiterated his suspicions of me. LOL.

    I've had the occasional weirdo send me an unsolicited comments like that. I should block them if they do - half the time they probably bidding and would be nothing but trouble.
