Is this really the first time you got one of those? I find it hard to
believe, since I get them all the time. The best one came from a
customer (who lives in Kansas) who asked for a discount on a $35 card,
which I reluctantly gave him and then he gave me some bogus excuse as to
why he still couldn't pay me for it after 2 months, even though when I
checked his Ebay purchases from other dealers, I noticed that he bought
a slew of really expensive lobby cards priced over $300.  I finally put
him on my block bidder list and when he found out about this, he sent me
the most vile e-mail in which every other word was an obscenity. That's
the thanks you get! FRANC

Subject: [MOPO] Annoying E-mail from a Potential EBAY Buyer

As a seller on EBAY, I often get annoying e-mails from potential 
buyers.  Today I received one of the MOST ANNOYING E-MAILS in a long 
time.  I can see a person asking for a discount on an expensive items 
(e.g. a few hundred dollar discount on a $3,000. poster) but I'm really 
surprised when people expect you to discount something that is over 
forty years old and is priced around $25! I guess I should start asking 
the local AMC to sell me a movie ticket for $6. instead of $10.50.  
Let's see how that goes over.

Here's the question from the buyer:

"Would you consider putting this item on sale for 20% off so that the 
total after shipping would be $32.55? If you are willing to do that, 
then I will go ahead and purchase this item. Please let me know. 
Thanks."
