eBay Powerseller Fed Up With Foolish Questions!!!

My good friend and superstar Auction Genius Course student, Todd Taylor gets fed up with really ridiculous emails, just like we all do. Of course we all know that losing our cool isn't a smart business practice, but this eBay powerseller answered a really ridiculous email in an amusing - and scathing - way:

hi are these authentic? if i buy them and take them to the ralph lauren store and they turn out to be fake i am going to be very mad ... let me know i will take your word for it

Todd's answer ...

Well, I was actually sworn to secrecy during the eon of the Hoover years to never reveal my methods, but, since you asserted your ideas so gracefully I'll have to give it to you straight. I sell nothing but imitation items. In fact, what I normally do is buy salvage shirts that are garbage quality and then I buy iron on patches of horses at wal-mart and attach those. You'd be surprised by the number of people who fall for that. I'm giggling right now thinking of these retards!

But I'm so glad you asked. You have no idea how many times each day I'm approached by honorable Nigerian businessmen that I have to turn away. And the money they want to pay me would just blow you away!

Wow, so anyway I'm glad we've had this chat. I feel like I know you and I've never met you! Ha! That almost rhymes!

So take care and I'm sure we'll meet soon and become lifelong friends!

As Todd says, "After a while you just get tired of these same old stupid questions over and over. This guy just
caught me at the wrong time . . ." Yes, and I understand how he feels. In this morning's email I received a long, incoherent and senseless ramble accusing me of cheating people when selling wholesale products. The amazing part was that the moron was responding to an article I wrote about ... how to recognize fake wholesalers! I don't sell any wholesale products personally, and I never have. This guy didn't even read what I had written. Hey, that's what the 'delete' key is for!
