[Appended with additional emails - he still wants to buy them!]

Wanted to share an amusing eBay message convo I'm having today with "eekieboy1" about the C&J suede derbies I listed. Start from the bottom, you just can't make this stuff up.

him again @4:18:....message. But i would never do to someone else what you did to me with lowering the price which i was in agreement with but asked if ther was anymore you couldmhelpm with. IF NOT, NO BIG DEAL,BUT iMHAD TO ASK. BsOM IFM YOUM STILLM WANTN TO SELL THEM ON EBAY FORM $340N SHIPPED Priroity Mil youm have a deal and send me an invoice after you relist them.

PS: My tyintg is bad because I still have th shakes from the radiation treamnets I rciev

him @4:15: You offered to knock of $10 from the BIn to make it #40 shipped Priority since you lareday offerd me that. Then, you get on your huighn horse and lookm at my closed auctions to see why I aske fo maybe $10m more of because money is tight. I don't buy all thes shoes fo me but for the VA. I donate my time, my money and gifts as a way to help tyhe Vets recoving from amputated limbs. I have found that by also offerinn toys for thie klittle ines it heklps to take the fear they have of thie father or mothern going in tom another operation and posible not coming out which has happened A LOT. But for you to question my purchases andm also calling them "crap" ws rude and not necessiry. Maybe you shouldmlearn to ask the perions why if they are so short they had money for other itesm. Even the blue pair I bought today are for our parrish priest which I am amemebe of their group and they intruted me wihn theim m money to findm a nice paid orm of shoes and the blue to me represented clouds.

me @4:05: Here are the facts: I offered you a $10 discount and to pay shipping (~$12-$15). You then asked me to give more discount because "things were tight" to which I called Bullshit. Then you launched on a grammatically disasterous rant for 10 or 12 emails - I lost count.

him again @3:58: How's it feel to want? I want those shoes you gave me your word on then took it back. What possible reason would I have to provide you with something you want when you won't reciprocate? I think because you never really meant what you said and decided to jerk me around. By the way, the email I asked for was yours to shoe you my brand new "cheap" vehicle. It's about my 15 th in the last 20 years and believe me, you could not even afford the tires. If you want this to continue and to continue down hill then so be it. But if you want to honor your word then we have something positive to discuss. MY LAST REQUEST EMAIL.

him @3:52: Oh, now i get it. The jokes on you because it wa all "CRAP". Like the "CRAP you said the Gicci shoes were. Now maybe you know how it feeld. But are you NOT going to honorm your word form the sale of the shoesm atm the 4340 pircem you agreed to? Now that is something that would make an great blogg. Someon like you, Joe Citized knocking what soenmone else likes just because you don't or are maybe jealous that they were purchaased so inexpensively and mint in the box with no creases or sole wear.

me @3:50: Your message that said you had a photo of your 67 pairs of shoes to prove you're a shoe afficianado. I want that email.

him @3:48: What are you talkin about? Who's Green? I'm talking about buying the shoes you offered to $340 shipped Priority Mail? What about that?

me @3:45: can you resend that message about having 67 pairs of Peals, Lobbs, Greens, etc? I want to post it to a blog for ***** and giggles. kbyethx

******************************************************************************************************

him again @3:41: fOR SOMEONE WHO TRYS TO APPEAR AS A NICE GUY IT WORKS BECAUSE YOU HAD ME FOOLED. bUT THE REAL TRUCTH IS THAT YOU ARE A liar. sO STICK THE SHOES UP YOUER ASS.

him again @3:25: i ALOS DONATE TIME, MONEY AND SHOES AQND CLOTHING TO THE va SINCE i WAS A seal BACK IN 74-78 AND THAT WAS WHEN I TOOK MOTOR SCHRAPNEL IN MYNLOWER SPINE. BUT BTHE PICS AR OF MY CAR AND IT IS reAllY COOL

him again @3:24: AlSO, did I mention that I have cancer and go for radiation treatment? And, 6/18 which was Father Day I receive and "email Dear John" message from my wife of 35 years who said she had to go and get away. The only good part about that is that it doesn't have to do with me but with problems in her childhood and he problem trying to deal with our sons heroin addiction for over 123 years, he's 30 years old. But since I'm the strongest of the tow I decided to let him move back in to help him in anyway I could.
now, you have a much clearer picture of me so that when you refer to items bought for someone else that you are compromising their integrity by calling them "crap" I could not believe you said that since you came ACROSS AS A NICE GUY. but WHAT YOU SAID ONLY PROVED TO ME THAT OUR WORD WAS WORTHLESS AND I'M SURE THAT CARRIES TO THE CONDITION OF THE SHOES WHICH YOU SAID WERE PERFECT.

him again @3:23: sEND ME YOUIR EMAIL. i HAVE SOME PICS TO SEND YOU.

him again (I deleted the email): something about having 67 pairs of Peals/JL/EG/etc and where do I get off calling his shoes crap....and that he wants to send me a picture of them...blah...blah...blah

him again @3:18: AlSO, did I mention that I have cancer and go for radiation treatment? And, 6/18 which was Father Day I receive and "email Dear John" message from my wife of 35 years who said she had to go and get away.

him again @3:07: Amnd remember, you wrote me about these shoes today and not I.

him again @3:00: You are not a man ofm hsi word to do this when the ourchase of thes shoes has nothing to do with those "crap" Gucci. I will let those I bought them for what your opinion was of their choice in shoes,.. But you have no write changeing the deal for whatever perceptive reason you think there is and since i HAVE NEVER IN ALL MY EMLIS TO YOU SPOKEM TOM YOU WITH NOTHING MOREM THENN RESPECT AQND KINDNESS. gOD bLESS.
MARTIN
ps: iF MY WRITTING IS A MESS IS DUE TO MY RADIATION TREATMENT YESTERDAY WHICH TAKES A LOT OUT ME.

him again @2:57: So you changed your mind ah? The blue pair I bought was based on 5 other people in my parish pitching in for out Priest. Believe it or not. But now you all of a sudden back out on the deal. That doesn't speak to well of you. Since you have nom idea what was behind all my purchases it is not your place to change what you agreed ton for now good reason. But they are your shoes and I now know how much your word means, nothing. which is a real shock based on all your other emails. Want more, I've been in a wheelchair for 4 yrs due to an service related injuries and it really sucks. More, my wife of 35 years left me 3 months ago because she could no longer deal with our sons heroin addition for the past 12 years. More, I WAS OFFERED THE Congressional medal of honor BUT TUNED THAT DOWN BECAUSE IT THE OTHER MEMBER OF MY TEAM BACK IN 75 DIDN'T GET ONE I didn't want one for myself. all I did was head into enemy cross fire just to save this POW and a medal is not need

me @2:47: You're welcome to pay full price given your penchant for Gucci shoes.

him @2:38: Well if you are positive these are 11D and have never been wron causing creases then let do the deal. Let me know what I should do next. ^Thanks.

me @2:41: Hang on, I see you've been buying $300+ gucci shoes on a pretty regular basis. how tight can things really be? btw-those are crap (leather and construction) compared to C&J.

him @2:40: Anyway to make that $20? I'm a little short.

me @2:38: I can knock off $10, unfortunately eBay fees are getting out of hand, otherwise I could offer a better discount.

him @2:02: I'll take thm as an listed auction. But I wouldlike to ask if you can do a littl better on the price? I'm a little strapped and a little discount would make all the differnce. Thanks.
Martin

me @12:52: I just relisted these, still interested? Here's a link to the only website I could find which stocks the model.
http://www.upper-shoes.com/chaussure...s/214-hig.html

him @last week: Hi pal, I'm still interested and they are still available. I live in PA if you recall. What I, like is the excellent suede but what also makes or braks a deal is if the shoes have been walked around in even if that was on carpet. I believe I asked you before but are there any crease in the suede uppers from other trying on? Also, let me know about the shipping if it's free to PA via Priority? Thanks.

After 2:47 ... it appears to be more of a soliloquy.

+1

He does appear to show symptoms of PTSD through his reaction.

$20 discount for a guy in a wheelchair isn't so bad.

Ask him if hes won a Nobel Peace Prize too.

I think I may know his real name.

He's probably full of ****. Besides, what does a guy with 70 pairs of EG/Lobbs/Gucci need with another pair of shoes.

Exactly, they're never gonna show any signs of wear. They'll last for ever.
