Please take your off topic discussion of ebay's sales practices to the

ISSUES RELATED TO COLLECTING BOOKS.

Should I interpret that for you? It seems fairly self-evident to me.

Sure. Please explain what

"But if you go to the bid history, the bidder stated that he/she put in the
wrong amount for the bid...and it was retracted. With eBay's policies, both
those statements may be "true"...but this is one auction to avoid...except
for entertainment purposes"

in the context of a single auction of a pile of BCEs has to do with
collecting books and why it should be discussed here rather than in, say,
alt.marketing.ebay or, since it's so damned amusing, rec.humor.

1.3 What Kind of Posts are Inappropriate?

All commercial messages

That's gotta be a first for you Kris, since you're the internet's most
notorious busybody.

Listen up pimple: you haven't been around here long enough to say a
goddamn thing about what is or is not a valid post.
Shut the **** up until you learn the ropes.
Better yet, try reading the charter and FAQ before you go shooting off
your big bazoo!

Rather an untoward comment Mr. YW. A troll is "a newsgroup post that is
deliberately incorrect, intended to provoke readers; or a person who makes
such a post." That certainly was not my intention here. On the contrary,
what I was doing was the antithesis of trolling; i.e., I was attempting to
direct two misguided individuals - one of whom, Kris Baker, has never
authored a single post ever that has had anything to do with book
collecting, and the other a "newbie" - to take their discussion of eBay
marketing practices such as feedback and bid retraction to an appropriate
forum such as one of the many newsfroups devoted to selling on eBay, so that
we bibliophiles could get back to our important book discussions. In that
regard, I had a bit of a brag I wanted to share with the group regarding my
extensive collection of crappy books inscribed by shlocky pop culture icons.
Bit of a coup in that department, if I do say so myself. Back in the early
90s I had a brief but passionate affair with Foxy Gwynne, who had at one
time been married to the actor Fred Gwynne. She was quite a bit older than I
was at the time, but she was in pretty good shape for an old broad, so I
didn't mind. Not to mention that if you believe that 'when you sleep with
someone you're sleeping with everyone that person has slept with' that means
that by banging Foxy I was banging by proxy both Pat Priest (Marilyn) and
Yvonne De Carlo (Lily Munster), who had both had affairs with Gwynne during
the filming of the Munsters. So anyway, Foxy recently sent me a copy of
Israel Regardie's "A Garden of Pomegranates" that Gwynne had received from
the late Al Lewis (Grandpa). The book is inscribed "Herman: I hate fruits!
Darn! Darn! Darn! Love Al." I find the inscription a tad odd, as I had
always assumed that Lewis was a homosexual. Still, I'll treasure it always.

Damn...another pimple. I feel so ashamed that I don't have any - maybe
you could loan me some of yours It's so much fun feeding you
trolls.

Now go read the charter and FAQ of this group before you make an even
bigger fool of yourself (if possible).
