Funny ebay message

Bought and item on ebay and reposted it at 10x what I paid. I get a message from a guy telling me that, "I could have bought it at the original price. Nice markup. Don't work too hard."

I restrained from replying:

1. Why didn't you buy it?
2. Is this an offer?
3. wtf?

I am not sure why someone would take the time, aggravation and energy to bother. image

    Hard to say what drives fingers to keyboards - obviously the guy (Arthur, I guess image) felt he had some insider info that he had to needle you with. Your reply list is exactly what I would have thought, and I would've just let it go too. This cyber age is getting us too damned close to each other, as far as I'm concerned. As Roy Hobbs once said: "You're standing awfully close. I can't tell if those are your toes in my shoes or mine."

    I would email him back and say;


    "Nice work inspector gadget! Next time I have something really hard to figure out, I'll make sure to get in touch with you"

    Tell him he can have 10% off for being so astute.

    Didn't he say that to Kolchak, the night stalker?

    Some on this board will accuse you of being Levi.

    The minute I receive such AH messages, I add the sender
    to my BB list. I never respond to such messages, because
    it only generates ANOTHER message from the AH; they
    have to get the last word, and it can escalate into more
    problems.

    Yup - Darren McGavin was actually uncredited for his over-the-top protrayal of the evil gambler. I thought he was great.
