E-bay and its sellers

There's a market for espresso machine finger guards??!

"The fact that you tell what the buyer did but refuse to give any further clarification as to why, I find silly."

Whoops. Meant "seller".

Why do you think I would give a flying Funyun where you’ve worked?

Why would he tell you to do that if you wanted to buy what he had for sale...

@autospec ,

All people are asking you is to give a little more information on your interaction with the seller so as to better understand why he said what he said. But instead you go off on how you are this major player on EBay, and then insult those who are not.

Obviously the guy had a reason for responding the way he did. Whether he's simply a jerk or it was warranted. Why are you keeping that reason to yourself?

It's not possible for any here except the OP to know the details of this transaction

Yes, and he's not giving any, so people are free to speculate until he does.

Hi, @minkwelder .

No, I didn’t take that personally at all.

I was merely making an observation. And I see no wrong doing on your part whatsoever in relaying your transaction as you told the whole story and didn’t come here looking for sympathy or validation. As an aside, an apology followed by snark is never a good look.

I guess your lack of an answer is the answer...

Let me take a wild guess; lawyer?

Great point, why come on this forum to cry about something that happened to you over on EBay. The other day a guy from Craigslist said something I didn’t like.

I better start a forum thread about it...

I have worked on tube electronics for more years than most of you folks have lived.....

You sure do like to brag about things that have nothing to do with why you started this thread.

Anyway, since you’re going to pick on the slow kid, I’ll give it the old Community College try:

You worked at Tubes R Us? TubeMart? TubesTubesTubes? Goober’s Oil and Tube?

Rubic’s Tube? Tony Shatube? Tubey-doo? Icetubes? GreatsettaTubes?

Am I close? What did I win?

"And if your watching you have to be entertained by the silliness of it all...."

I’m quite entertained by the silliness of it all.

The fact that you felt so strongly about something so mind bogglingly trivial that happened to you on EBay that you were compelled to start a thread on an audiophile forum looking for tea and sympathy, I find silly.

The fact that you tell what the buyer did but refuse to give any further clarification as to why, I find silly.

The fact that you puff up your feathers and keep spouting disconnected facts about how awesome sauce you are, I find silly.

The fact that cows sleep standing up, I find silly.

The fact that some turtles can breathe through their butt, I find silly and alarmingly arousing.

What do you find silly?

By my estimate, that would make him around 130 years old.

That's the thing; this is no "heads up".

Its simply him crying that some anonymous seller made a reply he didn't like. That's all this is. No heads up, no epiphanies, no anything. 

@larsman ,

By golly, you are right! I stand corrected. Or do I lie down corrected?

This thread is confusing...

Got fired a lot, huh?

To be clear;

This threads relevance to my life in terms of importance is exactly the same as zero. It is an inconsequential and mildly entertaining distraction. To think that I would do my ’homework’ and spend precious minutes of my delightful life looking up places where you’ve worked is just weird.
