Is this right?  

Turning anyone upside down, regardless if they are named Manuel or not, is wrong.  Unless of course they owe you money...then all is fair.  



Seriously though....no it isnt right.  Zero feedback seller who cant spell very well is just fishing.  Interesting aberration but I seriously doubt anyone would offer her any decent money for it.



But I could be completely wrong.  I am sure there is someone with a lot of money that would want something like that.

Looks like the coug is interested. Using his typical cut and past question:

I ask if I may bid as I live in UK, could pay with pay pal. Both on this & maybe other items too? Obviously I would pay shipping charges,(new international priority/air lift surface M bag/ cheapest preferred) Thanks for your time either way, no offence taken or intended Please "reply" to this so I know which auction were on about, thanks Failing that I have a USA based address you can send items, MEDIA MAIL to that will be forwarded to me, would that be better/ok? Please pay no attention to individuals who e-mail you lying about me, my reputation or the US PS M bags, instead please report them straight away by forwarding the e-mail to Ebay via customer support. Also please check my feedback & theirs, I think you'll soon discover who is the more reputable? Finally please add me to your buyer exempt list, its under site map, centre column, else I may be held up bidding too late to sort it out/ re request this? thanks

Still boggles the mind trying to read it

Exactly.  It's an instinctive reaction that's probably common to most humans.  However, the coug:  i) is most likely inhuman (more like a shambling mound of M-bags, or gelatinous cube of postal tape glue); and, ii) has such an enormous ego he assumes everyone else will agree with his perspectives.

Right then, which one of us is secretly controlling the Cougie-machine?  Come on now... 'Fess up.

Hi,

Harami has the same type of written English, imho.

Harami's sentence structure is worse but Cougs spelling is downright pathetic.  The guy misspells words that a four year old knows how to spell.  Quit typing so damn fast and use a spellchecker Dave.

Two mistakes in a single humble statement!  The first being, of course, that the coug is not writing in English.

Firstly it annoys me why peeps only sell to the US and not the UK. You would hope, especially buying and selling D & D, we could trust each other.  Unfortunately, to a degree, the coug does have a point.  However having experience of trying to buy from sellers that list as selling to US only I can see why he has this standard template.  Secondly, as a UK buyer I know that shipping is expensive.  I have asked sellers for a lot of books, 'How much shipping to the UK?'  They say,'Its very expensive and I doubt you could afford it.  I think its too expensive to ship to you so I won't.'  This is really annoying.  I know its expensive however do you think I would be asking if I thought it would be $50 to ship 100kg of books from the US to the UK?  Again I think Rinard needs to improve the quality of his stock but it is suitable for a certain market which is way different than the Acaeum.

Personally I don't have a problem with him.  He sells a lot of stuff that is sub-standard for this website however for a lot of peeps it is cheap and useable.  We, people on the Acaeum, are after a higher quality of item.  It is easy to knock those that don't mind stuff that has had a 'well-used' life.  We don't want to be the people that he bitches about.  Yes, ask questions of sellers but don't hound them if they aren't as meticulous, read anal, as us.

I think sometimes we need to promote this website as positive....sometimes it comes across as not being.  Please have more pictures of the good things that people have found and seen.  More stories and any other D & D fun things.  This website is good but it could be great.

And I will now go and hide in the murky depths of Undermountain.  Only let rip if you can find me.
