[GreenKeys] Ridiculous action of the month

[Mike Douglas via GreenKeys]

This guy does this all the time. Sadly, he is often successful with these type of auctions!

He auctioned one my Altair 8800 Clone computers (see http://AltairClone.com) as "Rare" for $1299. The good news is that he did not try to pass the computer off as a real Altair, however, the computer is not rare - they're for sale brand new for $621!

No one bit on the auction for $1299, so he relisted the computer "on sale" for $1099 and someone bought it! I was so frustrated with this guy that while the $1099 auction was still live, I put up an auction for an Altair Clone that looked exactly like his listing except in the title mine said "NOT RARE" and I priced it for $621. Mine sold after a couple of days and it was the very next day his sold for $1099. He contacted me about a month later to purchase another Altair Clone. I refused to sell him another Clone because I didn't want my product associated in any way with his business practices.

I always thought this seller was priced too high, but now I think he must be  _____ (I really tried to find a nice word but could not).  eBay auction #151425441505.

What in the world is  he smoking?
