I have been away for a while due to an unfortunate experience resulting from an Ebay transaction.
I had gone to meet a seller who lived about 40 miles from me. Since the item I won was quite big (stuffed ox) I figured I would save on postage and just pick the item up in person. The seller and I agreed on a spot just about halfway between us. It was a rather rural area without much more than a 2 lane road.
When the seller showed up (30 minutes late) he demanded the postage cost anyway, arguing that I would've had to pay it and our meeting was really just a way of guaranteeing the item wasn't damaged in shipping. I voiced my displeasure with this and said I would certainly pay for his gas mileage to deliver to this spot we were at, but I would not pay the postage for the ox, which would have been about $185.00.
He seemed alright at first, but then he went into a rage and knocked me unconscious. When I awaoke, I was surprised to find that not only was my car disabled (and dumped into a revine) but I was naked! I gathered some leaves and branches and made myself a hula-type skirt (like the natives wear), and then I basically walked all the way home. No one would dare pick me up.
That's where I've been. I initially said I had been sleeping, but that was to hide what had turned out to be one of my more unpleasant Ebay experiences.
P.S. I never got the ox, and he DID take my money.

So, Jerry12, did you give him a NEG for this transaction?
And, if so, what was his response?

Nice try, Jerry, but far from your best work. It lacks that element of vague believability that has worked so well for you in the past. These things can't be forced. I think it's best to wait for inspiration. You do have a reputation to uphold.
Nice to see you back, though, and don't be discouraged.

I read about the stuffed ox before, Jerry. Is it the SAME ONE? Was it relisted and this happened again and you bid on the same one?

The stuffed ox was to be part of an experiment. I really can't elaborate.

jerry12, please put the hula-like skirt that you made up on eBay. I am going to try out for Survivor Part II and this would come in handy. What kind of sticks and leaves did you use? Would you be willing to sell it to me outright? Maybe we could make a deal--I'll trade you a set of Laurel & Hardy salt and peppers (someone had bought them from me on eBay but never sent me the payment--I haven't been able to sell them yet) and a turtle lamp (this lamp is VERY detailed if you know what I mean).

jerry12, as I recall, one of your first misadventures involved a “penis enlargement pump”.
Was the “hula skirt” you had to construct knee length – or longer?

We never doubted you for a second jerry12. We believe.

Jerry12, Gee...you must have a lot of bad Karma to repay.
Does this experiment have anything to do with the pump, the dead dog, the salt shakers, (BTW have you finished paying for them yet?), and your Mother-in law's cow?

Welcome back Jerry12 !
I look forward to learning more from your "warehouse of knowledge".
Is the "rumor" that you are writing a book on your auction experiences true ?
If so, How do I order, and what forms of payment (other than cash), do you accept ?

HAHA! Now I understand...I think 
The stuffed OX is for Mother In Law's COW...

How do they stuff them before they bloat? Anyone ever see a dead bloated cow? The legs go straight out in four different directions and they look like someone put a water hose in their mouth and just filled em up near to explodin. Just like the cartoons.
Anyway how do they get them stuffed before they look like big ol New Years day parade baloons?
Once, I went to this parade and it was cold and there were so many bright colors and loud noises all around. I remember it like it was yesterday, one...two..three.....four floats went by all tossing candy and they kept missing me and this big mean kid beside me snatched it all up before I could.
Well, bout this time my drunk uncle Barney was getting fed up with this mean kids Dad and was shouting vulgarities at the floats going by. He was going to get me some *#@%*! candy or someone would pay with their ass.
Anyway fun was had by all and I went home with pockets full of candy and a part of one of the last floats that came by right before the policeman took Uncle Barney to the police station. I guess there was another parade they wanted him to see.
