Another Story About My Senior Homies

Another excerpt from my other blog…..

 

Today, my friend, the one that owns an antique store called me. He said that he had a man that wanted to sell an antique sapphire necklace. He wanted to know if I would go help him out and maybe, list it on ebay. He is so good to me that I agreed to to do it. I got the directions to the guy’s house and drove over there. Here’s how it went…..

Ring doorbell
80ish year old guy answers and wants to know who I am.
I tell him and he tells me to come in.
I ask him where the necklace is and he tells me it’s in a back room and he has to find it. So, fine. We go look for it. It turns out that this guy has a collection of EVERYTHING that he has EVER owned. Old newspapers, stuffed animals, CEREAL BOXES, every doo-dad know to man and much, much, much more.

So, he and I are looking thru stuff. About 15 minutes in to the search, I hear this….

“What are we looking for?”

Huh???????

“The necklace that you want me to sell for you.”

“Oh yeah. That’s right.”

Back to the search. About 10 more minutes pass and I hear…..

“What did you say we were looking for?”

OMG!!!!!

“Remember the sapphire necklace? The one you want me to put on Ebay?”

“Yeah. That’s right. It’s in here somewhere.”

Back to the search. And I swear on my granny’s grave, this is what I hear AGAIN….

“What am I looking for, again?”

Oh jeez….now what am I suppose to do? I’m in a strange 80 yr old man’s house and he’s obviously suffering from memory loss. So, I said……

“I don’t know what we’re looking for. Maybe, I had better come back when we figure it out.”

And he says….

“Well, what in the hell are you doing in here if you don’t know what you are looking for?”

This is where I ’bout lost it. The whole thing struck me as sooooo damn funny that I was almost in pain trying not to laugh.

I figured that I had to do something PDQ. So, I just told him that I had gotten a headache and needed to go to my car and get some Tylenol. And I did. Go to my car, that is. I did not get Tylenol.  I drove off. I got home and called my friend and told him what happened. I hung up on him when he wouldn’t quit laughing. I’m still not sure if he set me up or if the guy really had a necklace.

That old goat has a strange sense of humor. I’ll get him back some way. When he least expects it, I’ll do something!

For now, I’ll give him the shitcake award……

My St. Patrick’s Day Gift…..

 

Most of y’all know this but just in case one reader happens along while looking for “white trash sex” or “white trash slut” (both rank high in search terms here), I’ll take a sec and explain some things.

1. I am WTWM (white trash with money). I was not born with money. In fact, I grew up dirt poor but worked hard and married a man who, also, works hard. Voila’……instant  long- time- in -the- making financial stability. Well, at least it wasfinancial stability until the market took a nose dive and made my IRA’s worth less than  the Charmin that I use to wipe my ass.

2. I am bipolar. And, recently, I have chosen to become an untreated bipolar. Psych meds are cooked up in motel rooms by an unbathed  transient wearing a wife-beater-with-underarm-sweat-stains shirt. Oh yeah, he’s the med tester, too. (I guess you might say that I have a tad bit of anger and bitterness toward psych docs and the pharma companies. But, that rant is for another day).

3. I am a compulsive shopper.

4. I am a recovering hoarder.

5. No3 and No 4 don’t mix very well.

So, now to what I really wanted to post about today.

I’m half Irish. I think that I deserve a St Paddy’s gift.

I spent part of the day lisitng stuff on eBay. Stuff that I had acquired on one of my frequent shopping sprees. Stuff that I have no use for but are money makers on eBay. I’d be shittin’ in high financial cotton if I could just make myself list all of that crap that I’ve bought on a whim.

I have a problem with looking at stuff on eBay after I have finished listing. Almost every dadgone time, I buy something that cost more than what I will make if every single thing that I listed sells.

This morning, I came across an ugly jug that was really unique. It would look perfect in my ugly mug collection. I started to place a bid but stopped. COMMON SENSE made a rare appearance in my brain. I decided to think about it before I bid. I’ve thought about it almost all day. I am now asking for YOUR help.

Should I or should I not buy this:

 

 

“This Folk Art Face jug is titled `Aretha Franklins Hat.` It is number #32 of my jugs made. She is made from Pinch Pot technique and hand altered. Made of Stoneware Clay that was high fired to cone 6. Aretha Franklin sang ~“My Country Tis of Thee“ at President Obama`s Inauguration. Since then her hat has became famous and a part of American history, Even the Smithsonian wants to acquire the hat to put on exhibit. This jug is 9 inches tall, Cheek to Cheek 6 inches width. Bow to Bow 8 inches width..Thin Walls with no cracks & glazed on the inside and outside , poreclian eyes and teeth, signed S.Boland an original piece no molds are used. Radiant Sun Studio stamped and dated 2009.”

So, whaddya think?

“edited to add” The more that I look at it, the more it looks like Mammy with a piece of tin roofing on her head.

Is This Guy On MySpace?

I sold some boxer shorts on ebay today to a guy named……….

HO TRANE

I’m wondering if he has a MySpace page and if so, what is his MySpace name?

Just wondering………

That’s all I wanted to say.

Goodnight!

PS I wondering if Ho Trane Twitters? If so, I wonder if he Twittered about buying his undies on ebay?

Dadgonnit, I’m Tired…..

It seems lately that I just cannot catch up. There is always something going on. Some of it (I admit) I do bring on myself. Like my compulsive to buy and sell on eBay. I do make money but right now it’s not worth the aggravation and time that it takes. But, even when I have a full day, I will dwell on it and dwell on it until finally I’ll give in to the addiction. I hop in my car and go  out to the store where I buy all the marked down stuff, buy a bunch, and go home.  I’ll throw the bag of stuff on top of the other bags of stuff that I have alrighty bought to sell on eBay. Then, everytime I pass it, I feel guilty and stressed. It’s a regular cycle and I used to try to fight it but always lost. Now, I don’t even fight the impulse. I’ll stop whatever I am doing and go to that store and start all over again. Actually, I buy great quality stuff that I do make pretty good money on when I get time to list it.

Take today, for example. I woke up tired. Here’s why I woke up tired. Went to a QVC auction last night. It didn’t end until 11:30pm. I got home after midnight and had to get up to go to church this morning. Yes, I said church.  The only time that I feel halfway calm is in church. However, right after church, I drove out to THE STORE where I purchased 20 packages of men’s size 2XL tidy-whities for eBay. As crazy as that sounds, it’s probably one of the most sane things that I’ve done in that department lately. I have found my little niche’ on eBay and I hope I’m not risking offending in of ya’ll when I tell ya what it is.

It is…..”drumroll please”….ta da….Giant size undies for ladies and gents! Them suckers sell really well.

Just so you know, though, I do not sell this kind>>>>>> To be honest with y’all, though, I would if the store had them and they made me a good profit. Who am I to judge what people wear around their own home. I sure hope that guy is in his own home, for sure.

. They sell for more on ebay than in department stores. I was mystifyed by this at first but then I think that I figured it out. People who are rather larger either cannot find their sizes in stores or they do not want to go out in public and purchase them. That’s my guesses.

Back to the auction. I went two weeks ago and had “SUCKER” written on my forehead. I bought a tray full of electronics….cameras, DVD players, GPS systems, etc. I paid 95 bucks for them. My reasoning was that if just 2 or 3 electronic gadgets worked, it would be worth it. Long story short…not worth it…none worked. UNRETURNABLE! But, I had also bought two air electronic air fresheners (Ionic Breezes) and neither of those worked. But, they were guaranteed for 30 days. So, I went to the auction just to return the Breezes. I had the one intention of returning them and getting my money back. I was a little taken aback when I was told that I would not get my money back. Instead, I was issued “auction bucks”……just as good as money according to the guy at the desk. Now, I may not be Steve Forbes, but I do know that I cannot spend auction bucks at WalMart or the gas station.

This video is a lot like some auctions that I use to go to. I’ve never seen so many “holler people” in one place in my entire life as at those auctions……

The auctions that I am going to now  have either HSN or QVC merchadise.

Once again, I’ve gotten off my original posting idea.

It was, I AM TIRED!!!!!

I’m too tired after writing this much to tell you anything else that is going on. But, I can’t end this post without telling you this.

Last weekend was hubby’s b-day. My oldest daughter bought him too very interesting books. I’ll probably read them myself.

My youngest daughter, also, bought him a book. I will not be reading that one, though. The title: The History Of Ice, Cooling The South, The Block Ice Era 1875-1976.

I can feel the giggling coming on again right now. Your first question (as mine was) is who read that book? But, I had to, also, ask myself two more questions:

Who would write that book?

Who would buy that book as a gift (or for any reason).

I was gonna be nice and put a pick of that book on here so you’d see that I’m telling the truth. But, no can do—True Blood is on and I’ve just gotta see what happens to lil Miss Sooki and that onery Miss Tara ( and the rest of that crazy bunch). And, Sam is gonna reveal that he is a shape shifter and Jason is caught up with that psycho biotch….and…….I gotta go.

I’m No Longer Surprised That Johnny Can’t Read….

As you, my beloved bros and sistah’s in the CODM, know…I haven’t been here a lot lately.

I’ve haven’t figured out to lay flat enough to type on the ‘puter while taking refuge under my bed.

 

 Plus, all the dust bunnies are killing my allergies. You may ask…..why doesn’t she clean out the dust bunnies? I don’t because I made a seriously solemn pledge in 2007 not to disturb endangered species such as dust bunnies.

  At that time, I, also, pledged to leave unmowed by tiny little patch of grass weeds in the southeast corner of my yard. The grasshoppers, ants, dragonflies, etc. take refuge from the pararie status of the rest of my yard in that little patch. Besides, I refuse to get a mower out and push it clear across the dust bowl which makes up the rest of my yard in order to mow a 10″ by 8″ square of growth.  Lest you forget…… 

 I guess that I’m just an old softie when it comes to the environment. Uh huh!

Now, back to the orginial purpose of this post.

Who am I hiding from? Gosh, I really wish that I could say it was the IRS, ex-boyfriend, irate neighbor, ACORN, or someone interesting. But, actually, I’m hiding from my teacher friend acquaintance. She’s been demoted from buddy, pal, homie to need-to-avoid-at-all-cost person. I have actually had to turn off my phone ringer on days that I must get something done. I cannot believe that a person who taught our kids in the public school system for 20+ years cannot follow simple directions!!!!!! You might remember that it all started with eBay. She wanted me to list a crap-load of collectible glassware on ebay for her and I said, “Nuh uh! Nada! No way!”. I then proceeded to try to coach her on how to sell on eBay. And, you  might recall that I even went out and bought her an “eBay for Idiots/Dummies” book. I’m not joking about this, folks, I really did. It turned out that she couldn’t follow the instructions in the book!

Isn’t this a little bit scary to y’all? A person who was responsible for instructing kids cannot follow instructions! Aii Yii Yii Yii Yii!

ring ring ring…..”Hello”

“It’s me again. I keep trying to post a picture and I can’t do it! I keep getting the message….yadayadayada….”

“It’s me AGAIN. I can’t understand how to …yadayadya

“It’s me AGAIN. I don’t know how to……yadayadaya

Driving me straight to Nutsville. That’s exactly what she’s doing!

So, I got this bright (or at least I thought it was) idea to direct her attention elsewhere. Away from eBay. Anywhere but eBay. I’m beginning to hate Meg Whitman and she’s not even with eBay anymore. Even so, I see her face in my head everytime my phone rings.

I belong to an online word-of-mouth advertising group. They send ya free crap and ya write a few reports about how much you love/hate it and  to whom you did/didn’t spread the word about it. It’s a nice gig, actually. You can spend a small amount of time doing or a large amount of time (depending on how ambitious you are). So, I figured “what the heck?”….I hooked P up with it and then, she would be busy and leave me alone for at least a couple of hours. Seemed like an excellent idea…at the time. Only one thing….I forgot that I was dealing with a computer illiterate. So, betcha can’t guess what happened!

ring, ring, ring

“I don’t understand…..yadayadaya”

“Can you tell me how to …..yadayaydaya”

I surrender. I give up! I’m just going to sit my the phone 24/7 and answer her questions. Unless…..hmmmm….I wonder if I can hook her on porno?

This Is One of the Scariest Things That I’ve Ever Seen……

This is selling on eBay. TrailerparkSkipper sent it to me. I just ’bout darn near had a heart atttack! I grabbed my phone to call 911!!!!! Ended up with a paper sack over my mouth to stop hyperventilating……

This was waaaay worse than the big-ass freakin’ bug.

Tinga Details

Hope Tinga’s creator doesn’t see this post and track me down. She might bring TINGA with her and I just don’t think that I could withstand the fright!

Delivery Room Nightmare

Who in their right mind would buy a doll monkey monkey doll? And, who would they buy it for? A little child would be scarred for life if given this doll!!!!

Me Need A Mommy!

From eBay listing…..”Because of high demand I am offering a different kind of baby….”

I just know that I’m gonna dream about this thing tonight!

Edited to add:

This doll would be perfect for cuzzins who married and are infertile. Perfect imbred-looking baby!

Hoarding and Freaks on Ebay…….

Most of my regular readers (God bless the 3 of you!) know that I sell stuff on eBay. I have to. Not because I need the dough all that much, but because if I didn’t, a documentary crew would show up on my doorstep to do a doc on hoarding. Actually, I’m now a semi-hoarder. I still buy loads of crap that I have no use for but it doesn’t bother me any longer when I need to get rid of it. Now, I buy it and either give it away or sell it on eBay. Just today, I went to a bag sale. A bag sale is where you buy a large bag and stick everything that you can fit in it for $15.00. I bought 2 bags. I really only wanted some stuff that would have filled up maybe a quarter of a bag but being the good lil’ hoarder that I am, I just had to stuff those suckers so full that the tops wouldn’t even close.

I, also, went to an auction on Friday nite. Auctions use to be a regular thing with me and hubby. At local auctions, they offer box deals. A box deal will go for $1to $2. I’d go up and peek in the box and see one or two things that are useful and end up with a huge box full of broken crap that I then, had to get rid of. Plus, I’m a pity bidder. If the auctioneer is working his/her butt off and nobody is bidding (because he/she is auctioning broken, useless crap), I always feel sorry for them and end up bidding on stuff that is not even worthy of the dump.

I quit out of necessity. I was spending too much time and money hauling boxes of broken toys, stained blankets, broken eyeglasses and other crap to the dump.

Friday nite, the auctioneer was a woman that I know. She’s a very nice woman and I started feeling the “pity pull” and knew that I needed to leave. But, of course, I didn’t. I didn’t do too awful, though. I ended up with only one box of junk that I had to get rid of but I, also, bought 2 mannequin legs. I love those legs! I’ve got all kinds of great ideas to use those legs. My plan was to get a piece of glass and make a table. And, at Christmas, I could envision a small Christmas tree sitting on them. I was mightily disappointed when I got home and realized that they were 2 different sizes. I don’t care. I’m keeping them!!!!!!

and the freaks are coming out again on eBay.

First, I had a person whom I presumed was a woman buy a pair of earrings from me. Later, in the mail, I got this fabulous card written in beautiful, long-hand writing. It was from “Queenie B” who wrote about about his life and his drag show performances. He/she was very nice. I wish that I would hear from Queenie B again.

Next, I got an email with more curse words in it than I think even street gangs knew existed. I would just love to copy and past the whole thing here (cause I kept it for when I needed a good laugh). “Kozzy” also capitalized the whole profane laden message. See, here’s what happened…..he bought a Columbia jacket from me. I mailed it in a box. The idiot opened the box by sticking a 9 inch knife right down the middle of the top. Guess what happened? Dumbass ripped a 6 inch slit in the jacket. He was very upset. But, rather than admit that he had really screwed up, he blamed me. And, he sent me several emails that called me every nasty name you can think of and became quite threatening. I just told him to get his ass back on the short bus and learn how to write. I never heard from him again.

Last week, I sold some Spanx on eBay. You gals know what Spanx are but most of you guys (‘cept for Queenie B) might not know. Spanx are figure slimming undergarments….kinda like the girdles your moms wore but upated. I sold six pairs of them. I thought everyone was happy with their purchases until I got this in my email…..

“I received Spanx today. These are not new as your listing stated. Although they are in pretty good shape, they have been hand-sewn(poorly)with black thread on the leg to repair where they have come apart. Your listing clearly states they are new. Although these are worth something, they are NOT worth what I paid. Any suggestions?”

Let me just say in my defense that they were new. But, I’ve learned that unless it involves a big ticket item, just don’t argue. So, I sent her an email……

“I am very sorry that you are unhappy with your purchase. Those Spanx were sold to me as new and I’ve had no complaints from other customers. But, if you found a flaw, please just tell me what you think they are worth and I will fix it. Thanks“

Then I get this email back…..

“I don’t know what you are talking about. I never emailed you about anything.”

WTF?

So, I fired off an email….

“I’m sorry. I got an email from this address. I hit reply to answer to it. Something screwy is going on.”

I get this one back….

“I have not received any communication from you except the one shown below. (which is the one I posted above) Therefore, I am unsure what you are referring to. I did not receive a proposed solution from you to respond to.”

Thanks,

Debbie

So, of course, I email her back repeating everything I said in the earlier email about the Spanx.

Her reply……

I do not know what you are talking about. Please stop bothering me!”

So, now I’m getting really confused. Is Debbie a multiple personality. Or, did Debbie’s husband or significant other order the Spanx and was hiding the fact. This was getting weirder and weirder.

Now, I was getting leery of emailing Debbie. I didn’t know what to do.

A few minutes ago, I got this email……

“I absolutely sent you that email. However, in your response to me you made reference to sending 2 emails to me, which I did not receive. I only received the one below:

Hi again
I’m going to be gone most of the day. I didn’t want you to think that I wasn’t answering you if you emailed me back (I sent one email already). I’ll check when I get home and see what you want to do.
Thanks

Therefore, when you referenced that you would see what I wanted to do, I do not know what you mean. As I did not receive the first email (which you referenced sending) I am assuming that you suggested a solution to this problem in that email that was not received. I still do not know what your proposed solution is, although I would like to. As I stated before, I am sure they are worth something, but they are certainly not worth what I paid for them. They are not new, as clearly stated in your listing. I am still waiting to hear your solution.”

I am pretty much convinced that Debbie is not always Debbie. Debbie is sometimes “Sybil”. Or Debbie’s husband wears women’s under garments and is running interference on messages.

I’ve had enough. I am going to PayPal and refund all the money. And, I don’t give a damn which one of them get it.

Debbie

Oh Yeah…Spanx Me Good!

Y’all ever heard of Spanx? NO, not “spank”. If you came here after searching for “spank”, “spank me”, “spanking the monkey”, or any S&M terms, you will be disappointed. But, in the interest of trying to please all people all the time, here’s this for ya:

SPANX, Inc. is a U.S. company which mainly manufactures footless pantyhose and other undergarments for women, particularly “body shaping” undergarments designed to give the wearer a slim and shapely appearance. The company’s products are marketed to fit contemporary female lifestyles and fashion trends.

Spanx has some great campaign cartoons…..

Spanx has become a huge company. Great idea. Great ads. But, in reality, this is what some of us look like when putting on Spanx.

I would liken it to trying to squeeze yourself into a rubber garden hose starting at your feet.

Now, here’s what this post is really about. As some of you know, I keep an eye out for bargains to sell on eBay. I’ve had great success with plus size panties and other intimates. So, when on a recent hoarding/shopping trip, I spotted a bin of Spanx marked down to a ridiculously low price. Not gonna tell the price just in case one of you bought them from me on eBay. But, I will tell you that my profit margin was huge.

WooHoo! I was excited about the money I had made. But, as with most things in life, everything is fun and games until someone loses an eye you discover that all those Spanx are messed up…..runs, broken elastic, etc. Being the un-genius person that I am, I didn’t think to open the packages and check the Spanx. I knew the packages were torn and posted that in my descriptions on eBay. But, I never even thought to check the product.

Now, I am in a pickle. I have to inform 8 plus size ladies (who have already paid) that there will be no Spanx for them. Eight angry Sz E and F women. And, I’m scared. I’m trying to come up with a re-location plan for myself and my family.

So, now, I’ve got to go and notify all these women that there will be no Spanx for them today.

Maybe, I can offer them a “spanks”. Who knows, there might be a freaky one in the bunch!

Wish me luck!!!! If I’m not back here within a few days, turn on Fox. The story about the woman spanked to death in here own home will be of interest to you.

And I Thought I Was Frugal….

Frugal = cheap

I have admittedly done some cheap-ass things to save money. I’ve gotten backaches from sitting at the kitchen table clipping coupons. I’ve suffered foot pain walking from one end of a mall to the other to save $1 on a kitchen towel. I’ve even washed and reused plastic storage bags and aluminum foil. And, I would have never admitted any of this if I had not found people who beat me by far in the stingy/cheapass department.

These are selling on eBay.

Without further comment, I present…..

Hmmmmmmm…….I’ve got this sneaky feeling that Al Gore is behind this……….

Make Friends, Influence People on Ebay….

As some of you know, I buy and sell on eBay. If you haven’t tried eBay, then you don’t know what you are missing out on.

eBay is not just a place to purchase odd things like an image of Jesus in a cornflake. And, it’s not just a place to get rid of dead Uncle Saul’s collection of Sammy Davis Jr.’s memorabilia.

No….eBay is, also, a great place to meet people and make friends and enemies.

I once had a Sensa pen listed and a nice young man from a country in South America (that I will not name just in case the crazy dictator lifetime president leader of the country connects us) wanted the pen. However, he was unable to set up an account to pay. So, I sent him the pen anyway. He sent me back a really wonderful book written by a local from Venezu oops, his area. It was autographed (I think) by Chavez a powerful man from his country. I could not really read it but I think it said, “Death to Bush”. “Happy Reading”.

I, also, made a friend who collected antiques, old coins, rare items junk.

Actually, I think that she was really a lonely hoarder. She bid on 90% of the stuff that I listed. And, she sent me messages each time. Finally, she started emailing me. She was quite nice and had interesting stories to tell. but, somewhere along the way, we “broke up”. Gosh….I miss our times together. JK

However, the most interesting experience that I’ve had by far is with a guy who bid on and won a very nice Columbia jacket that I had listed. He paid a pretty good price for it. I boxed and mailed it and thought that was that.

Now, here comes the good part. I posted about this in an earlier post but got a legal warning from eBay and had to delete it. So, for the sake of my ass not going to jail, names have been changed to protect the totally stupid.

Here’s what happened. Following is the correspondence between myself and kuzdog (not actual name used in email).

Dear **************

I got the jacket today. I have SLICED THE JACKET WITH A KNIFE WHEN OPENING IT. DUE TO YOUR PACKAGING METHOD!!! IT WAS PACKAGED POORLY AND I DON’T FUCKING APPRICATE SPENDING $60 AND HAVE A SELLER THAT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO PACKAGE AN ITEM SAFELY. I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN SUCH A POOR METHOD OF PACKAGING IN MY WHOLE LIFE. IT WAS CRAMMED IN THE SMALL BOX AND BULGING AT THE LID SO THERE WAS NO AVOIDING ANY DAMAGE TO BE DONE TO THE ITEM. NOT TO MENTION THE QUARTER INCH OF TAPE TO KEEP IT CLOSED. AND THE COAT HAS SOMETHING SPILLED ON THE LEFT SLEAVE. IT WILL HAVE TO BE CLEANED. I THOUGHT THIS WAS NEW AS YOU ADVERTISED. I WILL LEAVE A NEUTRAL FEEDBACK DUE TO YOUR IGNORANCE WITH THE SHIPPING EXPERIENCE. IF I WAS TO RESELL IT, IT WOULD NOT EVEN GET CLOSE TO MY PURCHASE PRICE DUE TO THE 8 INCH GASH IN THE COAT. THANKS AGAIN. ASS HOLE!!!!

- kuzdog

Well, at first I was upset. But, then I read it again and starting laughing my ass plumb off. This idiot had stuck a large knife down into a box containing a coat.

Dear kuzdog

So, you’re blaming me because you don’t know how to open a package? I’ll bet your mom was proud when you almost graduated from special ed.
DON’T YOU EVER EMAIL ME WITH SUCH VILE, DISGUSTING MESSAGES EVER AGAIN.
I have never left a negative feedback nor had one. For your information, I have ALWAYS refunded or replaced an item if a buyer is unhappy even if they did not purchase insurance. But, unlike all the other 800 people that I have dealt with, YOU chose to send an insulting and threatening message. So, too bad. It’s your loss. If you EVER contact me again, I will report you to ebay. I saved your message just in case they are interested in your comments. I should have known better than to sale to a person with a feedback of 96%.
Thanks for a good lesson, *****thedog.

Dear ***********

fuck you ass hole. you need to take a lesson in packaging. As far as reporting me to ebay, OOHHH so scared. ass hole. I will even send ebay a picture or the box it was shipped in. FUCK YOU PRICK!!!!!!

- kuzdog

Oh, man….this is getting good. I am somewhat ashamed to admit that I am enjoying the hell out of this.

Dear ***********

Just a few more things. I paid 13.50 total for shipping. Actual cost for shipping 12.75 You asshole could have at least purchased the proper box to put a full size mens coat in it. And after counting the strips of tape on the box, 7 layers. The item could be seen through the tape before it had been opened. I , like many others would need a KNIFE to cut through 7 LAYERS of tape. So with that said, I have decided to return the coat for a full refund, per your listing.Give me my money back or else. It will be in the mail, in a different box, tomorrow. Also just one more thing, you even spelt the name wrong on the box. Other than that, I really liked the coat. Too bad on your neglect just to save a couple of bucks. Vile? Disgusting? You make it sound like this has happened before “I have ALWAYS refunded or replaced an item if a buyer is unhappy” I have every right to be pissed off. I have NEVER EVER received a package like I got today. You said it, “thanks for the lesson” I’m sure you will use the proper box

At this point, Kuz did get eBay involved. He did it because I wrote a post about him here and emailed it to him. He said that I hurt his “reputation”. Too bad. This was getting to be soooo much fun. eBay forbade him to contact me again.

Gosh…..I miss Kuz.

See, you, too, can make friends and influence people on eBay!!!
