They'd better work faster. They're still going up.
Losers are trying to get $800 for a $10 print and using text
directly referencing the attack. The worst part is that
people are actually *bidding*. They know what they're
doing is disgusting too--three day auctions all, with tons
of BUY IT NOWs.
If it weren't liable to get me into severe legal trouble,
I'd spend all night writing "you so-and-so vulture, you
make me sick, may you rot!" emails to these sellers, just
to vent. Or better yet, get an anonymous handle, bid high
(or BiN) for everything and then not follow through and
watch them try to recoup the Buy It Now fees. Alas, I'm
not into fraud either.
