am i missing something?

this sort of seller, and buyers who ask questions having not read the listing first drive me nuts!

516207 2007-01-15 10:34:00 Heh, I have tried to wise him up as well, My handle is Greybeard, Wonder if he will dismiss me as a youngster.... Metla (12)
516208 2007-01-15 10:34:00 I am struggling quite hard not to reply..

"what does who i am and my age have to do with the fact you have listed in the wrong category? yes results do matter, and if you had read my question that was my point!"

grrrrrr:annoyed:

evidently they are an "old person"

and having "student" as my occupation doesn't make guessing my age difficult lol

EDIT: ok, i'm replying

516209 2007-01-15 10:37:00 I wouldn't bother replying to him, It may click and he will fix it, Otherwise back and forth banter ruins an auction, especially if its a little heated.

Anyhow, You have my Pressf1 sig listed in your trademe profile.

LMFAO.

Now im gonna have to change it.

516210 2007-01-15 10:39:00 actually i put it there about 5 minutes ago too!

i thought it was good...

and i'm sure that auction breaches TM t&c as he is offering extra bits etc

the auction won't do too well anyway

516211 2007-01-15 10:43:00 Yeah, I stole it from the ctrl-alt-del forums..... Metla (12)
516212 2007-01-15 10:44:00 the auction is for CRT monitors, yet you have listed in the LCD category. So people looking for CRT won't see your auction, and people looking for LCD just won't care....Why do you care?? Rob99 (151)
516213 2007-01-15 10:45:00 Why shouldn't he? Metla (12)
516214 2007-01-15 10:49:00 Why do you care??

i was trying to help them, just a thing i do occasionally;) . i don't go badmouthing auctions, but i will state the age of a bike or some positive info if the seller has no clue (or is acting dumb).

dunno as to why i care... but stupidity like that (the response, rather than the initial mistake of mislisting) sure does get my attention

i remember one auction i actually had to explain what a CPU is to a guy selling complete dell systems in the CPU category, all whilst keeping my opinions about the "computers" to myself EDIT and he did actually ask me to explain

516215 2007-01-15 10:55:00 I suppose I've had too much to drink, I felt sorry for the ignorant/arrogant bastard.

First he lists what was probably going to be a dead auction, and he wants 50 for a cream 17 CRT.... has someone told him hes fing dreaming
