"Response" from seller with the "Apple-1"

I got that too. What an asshole. -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Vintage Computer Festival Sent: Sunday, July 03, 2005 4:25 PM To: Classic Computers Mailing List Subject: "Response" from seller with the "Apple-1" Here's the response I got from the seller who listed that plywood box with keyboard mounted to it: "I am so sorry for the late response. I did not even know about this ebay messages, I have 53 messages now to go through. I thought they all went to my email account. But I guess only some do. Again, I was not trying to dodge your question. I have missed many about 90%. I was not aware of this change in yahoo email." That's his "answer", which I really appreciate because, you know, I would really be bothered if the guy tried to dodge my question. Of course, this doesn't explain how he somehow didn't miss the 5 questions he did respond to which are displayed on the auction page (see for yourself: item #5213140640). BTW, I received this same exact message twice in response to the two inquiries I submitted to him, so I'm sure the other 53 questions got "answered" in a similar fashion. Another fine example of why I can't stand eBay. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]
