Ok, here's my auction:

I get this question from a potential bidder:
Is this the 2-disk edition?
Kee-rist man, you had to click on the title to get there....how could you miss it??? :angry:
What is your fave/stupidest question?

I woudln't even bother to reply to that one.
I had a stupid bidder once. I was selling a full set of Star Wars Pepsi cans from when Phantom Menace came out, including the rare Destiny can (can't believe I only got $30 for the whole set!)
Anyway, a couple of hours before the auction ends I get a question from someone asking what the shipping would be. I wasn't home at the time, and didn't get back until after the auction ended. Turns out, the guy bid anyway. I get another e-mail from the guy saying, "you never answered my e-mail! If the shipping brings the total to more than $40 I can't pay! I think it's fair that you don't make me pay, since you never answered my e-mail!"
I wrote back - trying my damnedest not to chew the guy out - saying that he shouldn't have bid without getting an answer from me if he couldn't pay, and that I can't be expected to be at my computer all the time to instantly answer questions from bidders. However, the shipping wasn't much as the cans were pretty light, so it was okay.
Unfortunately, it took a couple of months to actually get payment from this person. I actually had to go through Square Trade to get the transaction completed. Fortunately, the buyer went and gave me positive feedback before he even sent his payment, so I didn't have to worry about that.
He even sent cash! And his first payment got lost in the mail (or possibly stolen by a crooked postal worker if he didn't hide it well enough), so he had to pay twice. It was, without a doubt, my worst eBay experience ever!

You have to be the dumbest ass in the world to send cash through the mail.

I just sold some of my old concert t-shirts I picked up over the years at local concerts on eBay. I have one guy who bids on all of them and has only won one. Every one he loses, he e-mails me asking me if I have any more just like it that I want to sell.
Who buys two identical concert t-shirts? I keep trying to get it through this guys head that these are shirts I bought to wear and all I have for sale are the ones I have listed, and still everyone one of my auctions end ... "hey, do you have another shirt just like that one?"
