[TheForge] Post Vise Craziness OT

[Woolley]

Greetings,

Personally, I think we should bomb E-Bay with complaints about this guy. It
probably wouldn't matter.  E-Bay is  such a cultural phenomenon, they are
definately too big for their britches.  I was in the toy store the other day
to help one of my little ones select a birthday gift for his friend.  I
noticed a woman with her cart overloaded with what looked like numerous
alike items.  Off the cuff I said "wow looks like that will be a great party
"or something similiar.  She responded "I'm going to E-Bay this stuff, it's
worth like 3 times what they are asking."  I turned around to see that she
had totally depleted a whole section of sale items. I was stunned.  This is
the E-Bay mindset that is creating the Mormon wagon, Jesus whatever guy.
IMO,it is a disgrace.

Regards,
Bill Woolley
