Someone who's made an offer on my Top Loader lately has contacted me to see if I could reach an agreement with his autistic son. I almost felt touched at first glance but chances are that he's trying to play the sentimental card on me. Ha! Ha! Ha!

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.d...

"Greetings!
My son who has Autism likes this listing and has asked me to tell you if you would be willing to work with him on this he has saved up his allowance money and has about $209 he wants see if you would be willing to work with him to add this item to his collection he will be waiting for an answer from you
Kind Regards & God Bless"

Yeah, I can't figure why an autistic would gather $200 to buy my stuff. The guy isn't affraid of being ridiculous in case it could help him getting a better deal.

I would doubt that this is true. My reasoning is that 1) This person would obviously fund those last dollars for his son's collection if his son was really autistic, otherwise that would be pretty mean. 2) This isn't really a reason, but some of his feedback is just ridiculously weird, and seems like he's pulling the same kind of BS:

CONSERVATISM RULES!!!!! USA USA USA MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA A+++EBAYER!!!
OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA! I LOVE THIS BROTHER THANK YOU SO MUCH! A++++ EBAYER WOW!!!!!!
WOW LADY I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT YOU ARE 100% THE BEST THANK YOU GOD BLESS AMERICA

this one just made me LOL:

I'LL BE BACK! TERMINATOR RULES! IAM FROM KALIFORNIA SO WE LOVE HIM HERE! THANKS!

Wow.... I can't tell if you're kidding or not, but if you're serious, this is one of the most ignorant posts I have ever read on this forum.

A man "with a cancer in his throat" stole 100$ from me and was telling bs for almost 5 months to me. So don't trust anyone.

It's kinda sad the things that people will do to rip off others. It's really low.
