If you want to kill some time today, just TRY to make sense out of this guy. I sure can't. Jeeez-o! lol
................
edited to say, the more I read the guy's many listings, the more I understand it is a very sad case ... of a man who really needs a lot more help than ebaying could ever give him ...
pray for those who are anguished with mental illnesses.
sorry I "lol'ed" before looking at the big picture.

lol parklane ... i'm sorry!!!! are you completely bored!? ... need to kill some time?
okay ... read his many stories (they are so wordy, you can keep busy the rest of today)
... he's a newbie seller, Viet Nam vet, a released (I guess!) felon, I believe he's married (from some of the descrips I read) and he thought he could take the world by storm and make millions in a short period of time by selling 'junk' ... he supposedly answered a challenge from a successful Canadian seller/group, to be able to sell junk like they do and do just as well?! ... ... the poor guy is wasting so much money on listing fees and relisting fees, it's gonna eat him alive, not to mention all the local and hardware advertising he seems to have done ... he was trying and thinking he could start a real phenomena picking up peoples junk (and people bringing their junk to him) ... anyway, he's been at this a month or so, he has a local cable tv show in his town, to try to push this new business of his!) .. and one of his newer listings mentions how his Dad is worried about him (rightfully so; I would worry about how this guy is, too), and that people were emailing him making fun of him, and in this listing he composed an earnest prayer to the Lord about helping him make this all work for him
............ when I came upon that, I went from thinking 'what a total kook', to thinking, 'i REALLY feel compassion for this guy' he is truly a tormented soul ... i can usually be the first one to jump in and 'make fun of' or make light of, but then I just thought, I hope this guy gets the 'right kind of help' that he actually needs ....... soooooo, if you would like to check him out, current and ended auctions, he is mistyc918 ... who knows, maybe some of you will buy something from him, to give him some hope. (but I think it is lost hope) ...

I came across their auctions last week. Junk, junk, junk! I'm sorry the guy has had such a hard time, but it looks like it will soon get worse.
There is nothing like advertising your problems to the nation...

Looks like he fell for some kind of get rich quick sceme. Who'd ever come up with such an idea for worthless junk?
