Remember that beanie baby auction a few weeks ago?

[SpiderX]

I guess the lady who won it, is now wanting a refund. I guess 5 are fakes and she wants her money back. The best part about it, is that she was blocked from bidding by the guy and she made up another name to win the auction. Talk about letting greed take over.

DUDE!

Alertly jumping to take advantage of all the unexpected publicity, Kaye and a friend have started their own Web page, thedrunkensailorandmuggstein.com, offering for sale a beer mug, a desk calendar (coming soon), and thedrunkensailor "thongs" (not the kind you wear on your feet) and torso-hugging shirts adorned with thedrunkensailor logo. And until recently, "buy me a beer" certificates.

Kaye said Wednesday that he has received Internet payment now for some 700 thedrunkensailor beer certificates, in which the buyer pays Kaye $1.60 or so for a certificate stating he has bought a beer with the money - or tools.

Nice!

what an idiot.. he clearly said he didn't know if they were fake.

caveat emptor.

What a stupid bitch.

that grandmother annoys the shi!t out of me. Laying down with a million fvcking beanie babies around her. I'm glad that wacko b!tch isn't my grandmother. If she was I'd call her up and tell her to stfu already.

 

[EvilYoda]

jeez...but I guess this was bound to happen. I mean, what kind of world would it be if all things eBay went smoothly?

 

[Oakenfold]

While insisting his Beanie Babies auction was clearly listed buyer-beware, Kaye does acknowledge there were some misstatements.

For example, he told the Missoulian he was, and remains, happily married. (A columnist for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel first unearthed that information. Yet he apparently told the Oregonian newspaper that he was divorced, but his ex wasn't having an affair. The divorce was a mutual decision, he said.)

The story about his "ex-wife" running out on him was a "little white lie," he told the Missoulian. It was a marketing ploy to give some zip and zing to the listing's copy block. (His Web sites continue to state the same "white lie.")

Interesting way to get more auction views.
Wonder if this guy actually did have prior knowledge, not that it matters or would it?
If you stated in an auction like he did that he didn't know whether they were fake or not and he did have prior knowledge regarding the authenticity of the items would that not still be fraud?

a few weeks ago.?? Hmm, Read beanie baby auction, thought, "who gives afuck" and didn't bother pursuing it any further. Feel ashamed that you did

 

[jurzdevil]

so thats what old people spend social securtiy on

 

[oniq]

WTF.. she got banned from the auction, and still went back? She got what she deserved.

 

[waggy]

well she is one stupid old btch.

she knew they had a good chance of being fake. now she wants to make a stink of it? sheesh.

hope Ebay bans her. heck paypall also. for if nothing else for being so darn dumb.

 

[Zenmervolt]

Boy. How dumb can a person get? She obviously believed that they were fake and then she resorted to fraud to win them.

Agreed. She got had and she knew she was in the wrong, now she's just crying about it.

 

[Kelemvor]

What a lunatic. After seeing the picture, it was like great, some crazy old lady and her beanies. I hope it all just gets thrown out. Not like the guy wasn't forthcoming about having no idae what was real and what wasn't...

O'Buck said she's through with eBay, and her Beanie collection isn't giving her the pleasure it used to, either.

Hmm, exactly what kind of pleasure was she getting from her Beanies. Poor defenseless little animals....

 

[dman]

FARK had a thread on it the other day. The guy lives in S.Florida, one says he's married still... another says not. Anyway, I guess legally he's guilty of selling counterfit merchandise. I just don't know to what extent. I guess it'd be similar to if I received a counterfit windows XP CD (looks like real) and I sold it not knowing it was 'fake' I'd still be guilty of selling a counterfit.

Still, the lady is guilty of being a b*tch.

 

[opticalmace]

I want to punch her in the face.

 

[conjur]

What a dumb broad.

Stupidity knows no bounds.

She needs a good beatdown.

 

[Brutuskend]

She thought if they WERE real, she'd make a killing as a few could be worth BIG$$.

She threw the dice and crapped out, simple as that. You play, you loose.
