Yeah, I hear you. He's written back a couple of times claiming that
if he had wanted to rip people off he would have marked them up much
higher than he had. I guess 3x the normal price + shipping isn't high
enough. Not to mention the misleading listing that makes it seem like
these are rare or impossible to find.
Oh, but the greatest excuse he's given so far is that he appreciates
the opportunity to bid on things on Ebay so he doesn't have to drag
his kids out to the mall to buy stuff, and that was the only reason he
was doing this - to save others the trouble. :)
