I'm selling a Crestron HDMI splitter on ebay and have had an interesting conversation with a muppet. It's up for £85 and this guy put some cheeky £30 and £50 offers in.

Hi, some very optimistic offers there
Sorry, I have no need for an action cam as I already have a go pro.
If you can go to £75 I'll accept.

Hi, thanks for the offer but £75 delivered is the lowest I will go.
At this point I'm off out, haven't changed the listing and have no phone signal so I missed everything until 10:30. Now he wasn't to know that but this is where it gets interesting.

I am sorry if I have a life outside of ebay. Unlike you I am not retired so don't have plenty of time on my hands to answer every single email within the hour. To be quite honest I think selling to you would be more hassle than it is worth. Your emails are rude and quite frankly quite strange. No one likes being messed around but you have to understand that most people do not sit glued to their computers, it would be a sad world if we all did. On the 4k issue, I think I'll take my chances. The only reality check needed here is your inability to be patient!
Have a nice day, hope you find a product that fits your 4k needs.

I think my feedback alone says I'm not an ebay noob and have had successful sales in the past where people don't start getting the hump when I haven't replied within 5 minutes. You initially said "I give up" yet you continued on and started to spout some crap about 4k. If it's not what you are after then don't bid or contact the person selling. It's nice that you're a retired businessman, good for you, enjoy your retirement without getting into petty arguments on the internet.
Thanks for your time, now please stop wasting mine.

Lol, at no point did I get personal. I only said maybe selling to someone as unhinged as yourself wouldn't work out too well for me. I'm well within my rights to pick and choose who I sell to. More to the point I don't have to justify myself to anyone, let alone you. I've had to deal with a few keyboard warriors on ebay but none as rude and demanding as you, you truly have taken it to the next level.
If you don't like my conduct, move on to the next one like you said you was going to at 7:55pm. Here, I'm even giving you another option: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Crestron-H...AAAOSwxcRW8xv8 Please bother them with your "I'm retired" sob story.
I'm not interested in working out any sort of deal with you now even at the full price. There is no way on this earth that I "might" reconsider. Oh dear, if it doesn't sell what will I do? I know, I'll relist it! £75 is hardly going to change my life.
Thanks for the life lesson oh wise one. I'll stay glued to my computer next time. As I said, if we were all like that the earth would be a very lonely place.
Now I'm off to bed, some of us have work tomorrow
At this point I'm considering the conversation closed. This guy just doesn't give up.
