AHAHAH guess what this guy said:
You are funny. You really offered me 5$'s? Is this a typo or are you being funny? I paid 200$'s for this boxed item. You are obviously being funny. Thanks for the laugh though, you should be a sit down comedian
time for me to tell him to go fuk himself in the ass. my reply:
you are truly funny. 200$ for the boxed thing and you're selling 150$ for the book? you must be smoking some good weed. Let me break this down for you.
EDIT:
his reply to my reply
sorry
lol, someone should best offer him for like 5$ too XD

i had a guy do the "thanks for your interest" when i shoved facts in his face once. what else are they going to say when you basically prove to them they are just trying to con someone, unless they are truly just oblivious to what they are selling, which is common as well. usually tho it's a matter of exploiting a seller that doesn't know anything about the item in that case, rather than them fooling the buyer.

Yeah, I think that guy is just an idiot and actually thinks it's worth that much money.

yeah, that's what happens gixo... he has nothing to say about him trying to rip people off.

i mean, depending on the answer of the seller, you can kinda tell if they dont know the item, or if they are just trying to con some buyer. the guy told me he bought the whole item for 200$ and he's selling this for 150$? either he must be smoking good weed or the buyer is.

i mean, i dont blame some people for putting a very high price and not really knowing what it is... but people who actually do and have an intention of purposely tricking people is pretty sad.

totally agree TSi, it's harsh. A person like me would have got caught out by a seller like that a few months ago. Luckily thanks to a couple of individuals I've had help along the way and not got any raw deals. Sellers like that really do deserve to get stung themselves just to see what it feels like. I mean, how would someone feel if they paid $150 for that book, only to find a premium back, book included a day later for $90 - $100?

I'd be devastated!

LOL, like if someone bought one of my auctions then found Yahoo Japan :lol: :lol: :lol:

:x :x :x

EDIT: I will no longer be posting the vest or jacket however. Seriously, people had msg'd me asking to extend the auction (or repost it) or if they could go on a payment plan so I don't want to deal with it going and either losing the item or having to deal with a refund.

***!!!WARNING!!!***

Do not be fooled into thinking that this is a legitimate Metal Gear item. The seller has cunningly placed the words 'Metal' and 'Gear' into the auction title. This of course means it WILL appear in your "Metal Gear" searches on eBay and google. For the average collector who wishes to own everything labelled with those very words, it could prove to be a sorry investment. For those of us with a brain however, it may not pose too much of a problem.

I will leave it to your discression.
