One stated that I had an item listed that should only be $100 - that they were not trying to be rude just helpful. Mine is listed at a much higher price (over a $1000) but half the price of most that are listed.

I also have a piece of designer jewelry listed as a Book Piece. Someone wrote wanting to know what book my "so called" Book piece was in. They wanted to know where to look?

I wanted to tell the 1st to bottom feed somewhere else.

I wanted to tell the second guy, he could look where the sun doesn't shine with his attitude!!

Do these people really want a reply or do they just want someone to tell them where to go!!!

Did the second want to know if there is a reference book available (perhaps they have never heard of Amazon)?

But for both, and others, if you want to respond, just keep a message you can cut-and-paste along the lines of "Thank you for your inquiry, I will give it my full attention", and keep resending if they persist.

I would just ignore them. Email gives people the opportunity to be rude and nasty without repercussions such as being punched in the nose. They don't deserve a reply.

I am definitely not trying to be rude - just curious. What do you mean by a "book piece?" I have no idea what that means.
Thanks,
Jane

A book piece is any piece that is listed in a collectors price guide book. The prices are typically much higher than you can sell it for, but it gives you a guide line.
You are not being rude at all and I wouldn't have thought him rude either if that was his question or if he simply asked what book. The "so called" in quotations was the rude part.
