Okay, I was trying to buy Finding Nemo DVD at ebay and I was bidding for $12 max since I have watched the movie before and not in a hurry to watch it again. Then the seller emailed me saying that he could sell me the same new DVD for $??? Out of a lengthy paragraph that he wrote to me, I could only understand the part where he said his offer. It wasn't even clear to me until I read over and over again. Here, I quote him:

Hello there. On February 2nd you made a competitive bid of 12.00 on
crucial information to
acquire Finding NEMO DVD for only 2.00 or 3.00! Thats right
only 3.00! using an easy to follow step by step method. You didn't
win, you can STILL WIN.
If still interested I would like to offer it to you at a substantial
discountof your bid.8.00!
Essentially I will show you how to get the information to acquire Nemo
and other DVDs for pennies on the dollar For 8.00 + 3.00 ..you cant
beat it! Of
course FREE shipping. If interested, please let me know immediately.
Thanks!"
Okay, before I go on, somebody tell me how much he's offering me?
Then I told him that I was basically not interested in his offer. And here I quote myself:
"I'm glad I didn't win your auction because I didn't
know I was buying a DVD from someone who doesn't even
know how to type in English correctly! Not to mention,
you're probably selling pirated copies of the DVD
since you're probably from third world countries. Bye."
Then he wrote back to me saying non-sense stuffs.
"To my beloved Grammar Nazi,
First, I am pleased to see you have all the time in the world to carefully dot your perfect "i's" and cross your perfect "t's" in casual emails at 4:am. Bravo too you oh brilliant Sandy.
Secondly, I am a law student, and if you want to play foolish games with me, I will oblidge. 1. The correct phrase for civilized writing is "English correctly" not "IN English correctly." "In" makes for an unnecessary, choppy sentence. 2. How can I be from third world "countries." Upon last check when writing English, we match the singular "you're" with the singular "country" not "countries," unless I can be in several "countries" at once my dear brilliant Sandy. 3. Your hasty assumption that I am selling DVDs/CDs in the first place showing you didn't fully read the offer combined with your unsubstantiated belief that I could be from a third world country tells me many things about you. Your either ignorant, sheltered, completely uneducated, or all three. Brilliant Sandy, you were so quick to attack something that seemed great, you didn't give it a fair chance. I will spell it out for you dear. I sell information that allows you to get first run, factory-sealed top quality DVDs/CDs at a fraction of their cost. To get the deal, do you have to put in some time? Sure. Grave discounts require something return, but nothing you couldn't handle brilliant Sandy. Your immediate objection toward spending even an ounce of time to receive even the best of deals tells me your probably lazy as well. Uneducated and lazy? Sandy you can do better. I know you can. See, if you just opened your eyes and embraced a concept before attacking what you didn't understand, you could have received the DVD's or CD's you love, at a great price. Instead, you lose out. What can I say dear brilliant Sandy. I can only hope that the great Senator Kerry wins the White House, so future "Sandys" may be treated to an enhanced education. God bless.

Gawd, can someone from PA just give this guy a punch in the face please?
I dont remember what I wrote back to him, but it's something like "Do you not understand the meaning of bye?" and telling him he'll be on my ignore list if he emails me again.
What should I do?
