I sent him a message saying it wasn't really considered a rare item and I got not one but two messages back filled with hate!! Xmas is coming, must be desperate.
It's funny but all the people that I deal with face-to-face are really nice. ebay seems to bring out the worst in some people.
Did he/she tell you that you don't know what you are talking about? Which seems to be standard response - amongst the bile.
