It states directly in your add that these are $19.99. Why are you asking 25 but advertising free shipping? I will purchase 2 of these at your price of 19.99 each. If you were in a store, you would have to honor this price because the ad states it. And Ebay is your store.
--------------------------------
You are right, the ad does display the old price but the auction itself is priced correctly which you conveniently fail to mention.
The manufacturer increased the price as well as my cost. I will change the listing.
You assume that I have to do business with you even if in doing so I lose money simply because there is this misprint in my ad.
I don't.
eBay is not my store, it is not your store. eBay is a phantasm of electrons, much the same as your imagination...the very one that allows you this twisted idea of entitlement.
Nothing forces me to do business with you just as nothing forces you to do business with me.
You have an option to purchase the goods at the price I ask or not.
Move along now. You're blocking the aisle.
And one more thing, please don't vote or reproduce.

I hope that you blocked that buyer, because if you did not, you will most certainly reap the "benefit" of that response.

i sense some frustration. lol. i too am frustrated with the attitude of some bidders.
not quite related to ebay... i had listed a new camera last week on ebay for $99 (Free Shipping) or Best Offer. At the same time I listed the camera locally on Craigslist. Best Buy sells it for $129 and many on eBay go for $100-110.
I get some moron off of Craigslist emailing me that I am ripping people off b/c he bought a better (not the same) camera at Best Buy the day before for less than what I am selling mine for.
I ended up selling it on ebay for $90 a day later. Go figure.

Are you sure you're not reading my subtract?
that these are $19.99.
That's a misprint.
Why are you asking 25
See "misprint", above.
] but advertising free shipping?
Because idiots like you actually believe "free shipping" is free. Believe me, I'd much rather charge you shipping AND a fair price for the item, but you insist on having your delusions catered to.
I will purchase 2 of these at your price of 19.99 each.
Like fun you will.
If you were in a store, you would have to honor this price because the ad states it.
Sorry to inject reality into your banal fantasy life, but stores don't have to honor misprints in ads, either.
