    Default another excessive shipping seller

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=8114611937

    All this seller's auctions have high shipping costs like this. You know what to do with people like this, my fellow gremliniacs:

    I'd like to ship him his death. I hate people that charge that much for shipping. I hate the ones who buy from these people even more, just because they sell the items for next to nothing.

    Ok. If I am going to pay $19 for shipping a single cart, I'd expect the cart to be shipped directly to hell, and defeat satan himself using only a toothpick. All while coming out unscathed. Then I'll pay shipping.

    The member is relatively new to ebay selling and is listing a number of items of different weights (from atari carts to bowling balls). I believe that the seller just forgot to adjust the shipping rate when switching items or adjusting the item listed.

    I e-mailed him:

    I'm interested in this auction, but I think you may have made a mistake with the shipping. Does it really cost $19 to send 1 atari cartridge?

    Thanks,

    Dave
    I got an e-mail back with no subject or anything (I actually thought it was spam) with:

    depending on where you are and how many you buy,we can adjust shipping some.s.k.
    So folks, I think he does intend to gouge someone $19 for shipping.

    I got the same email back from that seller. It was really un-professional because I had no idea what the email was in response to. It is kinda funny, it was the exact same message, like he gets so many questions about shipping that he has a generic response that he just cuts and pastes and hist send.

    Yeah, so I responded asking him which auction he was talking about and he responded with 1 word "Atari". He's at the shallow end of the gene pool.
