You've spent 67 characters or 82 if you count the number of times you've hit the spacebar as well, and that is assuming you haven't made a single mistake while typing that crap, you've also wasted my time reading your ingenious comment, and a lot more time was spent afterwards by many other ppl. just because you thought it was so fucking hilarious to make fun of a guy "saving" time on avoiding two characters?!

This is for you.

Don't buy too much stuff on Ebay. I've got screwed a couple times and it has made me shy about using it. Once I purchased a laptop supposedly in excellent condition. When it arrived the casing was cracked around the hinge and the seller included a note "Sorry the hinge broke as I was packing it up to send to you." It was my girlfriend's christmas present and I did not have time to dispute. Also I had thought a battery charger was included but that was not the case. That was where I learned unless it was specifically listed it isn't part of the auction. I couldn't figure how someone would sell a laptop without a power cable that seems like it's kind of necessary, but live and learn.

The last few things I've bought have been mostly cell phone batteries and a few classic car parts.

you're relatively new here. this is just how it is here. there's always someone who is going to feel superior to you, even if they aren't. it's just the elitist attitude of ATOT.

I've been stung twice on scam-bay...both times by sellers with excellent feedback...I don't buy there anymore. Just too many scammers posing as reputable sellers.

But next time leave it for me... If I'll go at it now it'll be like kicking a dead body - non ethical and pointless.

A space is not a character.

isn't a space generally considered a character?
