This guy's listings all have Best Offer capabilities, and I put some low offers (like $65 and then I think I did like $20 just to be a jerk) on some of his Hawaii Klausen poster with comments like "I'll pay you what you paid plus a few bucks for your time."
Anyway, i got some priceless replies back... he has since banned me from best offers to him, but if anyone wants to send him some awful offers and post the responses its a fun few minutes.
I am curious; do you drive around on the weekends, go to open houses and then make ridiculously low offers for people's houses? Would you go to a car dealership, test drive a BMW and then offer the salesperson $50. Would you go to the grocery store, fill up your cart with food, and then tell the cashier you will give her a dollar for it? Do you think it would be ok to do any of those things, because I would find them pretty annoying? Is there some way that making annoying offers to people on ebay is any different?
The only reason I know this is that the Phillies used him to sing God Bless America in the playoffs last year hoping he would bring good luck as their "Rally Monkee."
When I was driving to the ballpark, the announcers interviewed him and asked if he was a big baseball fan and he said he was but that he rooted for the Red Sox first and that the Phillies were his national league team.
Look, I know all of this. Believe me. I'm not one of these commies bitching about people making a buck.
I am complaining about these scalping companies who use computer software to get around Ticketmaster controls and then buy up all the tickets before the fans can even get through.
It happened with the Ed shows. I guarantee.
It's one thing if you obtain an item fair and square. Do with it what you want. But when you cheat the system, I have a problem with that. And something should be done about it. But nothing will.
i agree with all of that.
however, this thread is entitled "if you're bored and want to annoy an ebay flipper"...so this thread is about ebay, not TM....it also assumes a lot about an unknown seller, and yes....even the post i initially quoted from you i was only addressing ebay. so, yes....i was/am...discussing ebay and the right to sell items aftermarket. NOT discussing tickets at all, whole other ballgame there.
