Over the years I have had bidders with weird user IDs and some have bought weird stuff from me but all transactions have been completely normal as far as payments and e-mails, etc.
I learned a long time ago that people collect all sorts of things for all sorts of reasons and who are we to question it?
In fact my only "weird" transaction was when a person bought a little plush bear from me and started phoning me at work and writing e-mails saying that they felt we had bonded.
I doubt anyone here was making fun of you, ironking. But do what you feel is best.

It wasn't a "teddy bear guy", it was a "teddy bear lady".
She even wanted to come and visit me and started arranging the vacation. I wrote her and told her I couldn't accept phone calls to "chat" at work but she kept phoning and finally I had someone answer the phone each time and he said I wasn't there. The e-mails finally stopped also.
I did check her bidding history and she was bidding on "normal" stuff. So you just never know.
Edited to say that she did sound like a nice enough person but I don't want my buyers to come and spend a vacation at my place after they bid on my auction.

JACK, I knew exactly what you were refering to and hey why'd you partially delete/edit your post I wasn't offended by it. To the contrary I was amused by it. Now don't go off and into a tangent here, I was just making a little of "THE LIGHT OF HUMOR" towards ya. Now go put the "PUN" back up.
And have pun with it!

Speakin' of MANNEQUINS and totally OT, last year I was looking to find one and came across one that was probably the most unique one I had ever seen. It had to have been a custom job...She was positioned in almost a back bend only her middriff area was flat and probably could have been used as a table except for the "chesty" area
The seller had dressed her in thigh high black leather boots with spiked heels and one of those studded black leather halter thingies with cutouts in the breast area and a chain down the center connecting the black leather thong bikini bottom. She had on one of those black leather motorcycle hats and was holding a whip! The auction was a private auction and the bids were already up to over $2,000 with days to go. I doubted that any of the bidders were from Macey's looking for a store display. I bookmarked it so I could see where it closed.
A few days later I went to check on it and received the notice "moved to adult section". I had to smile at that. I guess someone looking for a mannequin had decided this baby was a bit too racey to be outside of the adult section! I always wondered what the final price was....guess I'll never know unless someone here was either the seller or the winner and cares to share??????

If you dont take his money someone else will.
this bidders unusual collecting habits have no reflection on you in any manner.
business is business , make the sale.

Obviously I'll need to put it in simpler terms for you.
No-one controls threads. When a person post something on a public board, expect everyone to agree with them, then gets upset when some don't...then perhaps posting on public boards isn't for them.
And I doubt seriously that YOU are the arbiter of what is or isn't decent to contribute.

Yes, I do remember a little of that Twilight Zone Episode. Did you ever get control of your TV set back, Jack, or is it still looking like a bulls eye? do do do do
Barbies?! I didn't get one until I hit 40. I do have a Chatty Cathy, 1960. At least she could talk. Barbie only just now learned to talk and has to be uploaded from a computer to do that (blonds!)
