Joke of the day (ebay related)

Very nice looking Voodoo II card for sale in France-

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5112415511

So I e-mail the seller and in a polite manner inquire if they would be interested in shipping to the US with myself paying the shipping of course if I should happen to win.

Now the joke part, the reply-

"I can sale to US for 250 Euros and 58 Euros for the transport."

I declined the offer after pointing out that at $299 USD for the card and $69 USD for shipping it would be just about cheaper to fly over and purchase the card cash for about 10 EUR.

sheesh

Follow up from seller-

Quote:

How many money you want offer for this product.

I have made numerous video card purchases from Europe, at best the most expensive shipped was half your shipping quote.

The shipping quote alone is enough to make me decline a purchase, I wish you luck on your auction and thank you for answering my question in a timely manner.
