Crazy people do exist

So this morning I was shopping on eBay for a copper flashlight. And I ran across the county comm maratac triple AAA copper flashlight but there was something wrong the price was 5 times the normal price and 41 dollars and some change the price was almost $200. so I sent the seller a message asking why the price was 5 times a normal MSRP price, and he responded with five messages explaining how the FBI was contacted for harassment and I was reported to eBay lol that's all I asked and I was I was thinking I'd get a response you know Steven got a special driver in it or its got a different than what standard but know this person is officially a @$## psycho.

Okay here is the screenshots keep in mind my username ID toatsma-goats.




And my response to that was LMAO.
So just a warning guys be careful there is crazy people on ebay. I'm like oh my god...I didn't even get a reply saying hey there this price etc for whatever reason. Just crazy man...

I'm convinced he's just another newbie seller who got butthurt because you called his bs.

How is the original listing BS? It is a high price...but if someone is dumb enough to pay it, good for him! The response is completely off the wall, though, we can agree on that. A lot of people seem to think that interspersing a couple legal terms suddenly makes a worthless argument valid, so it is hardly unique...but that escalated quickly.

Interesting. These keep popping up for me, too, when I search for "vintage copper flashlight." :thinking: I'm actually looking for 1930's-40's vintage copper Rayovacs. I guess I need to be more specific in my searches.

good heavens... I was afraid that this was a story about a murder-suicide.

People do dumb things on e-bay, in casinos, etc. If I was a psychiatrist instead of an engineer, maybe I could tell you why. It does seem that the manufacturer of the light needs to do a better job of marketing their light, so people can find it at a regular retailer when they do a web search.

on the other hand, it *is* made of copper, and it's sooo shiny!! How much money do I have?
