The other guy is offering free shipping and has 7000+ feedback compared to my around 3000.

there are multiple people priced less than I am. 

I've heard that we all create our own reality.  You seem to have proven this dictum.

You are going to really flip when you realize it’s something I offered here on the boards for less... people suggested offering things on the boards first... I said that even with eBay fees I get more there.

You are right I flipped.  And I'm not a flipper.

did the other guy have bad feedback or high shipping or some other factor?  Or maybe you were closer and they wanted it stat?  I have paid more for the same item in cases like that.

Maybe they just like dealing with someone with no apparent conscience?

I have somewhat of a conscience.

i don’t have a care in the world for people asking for discounts based on whether or not they are home bound, don’t have a lot of money, a veteran or cop or fireman... 

i HATE that line... “What’s the best you can do for a wounded vet still paying medical bills.”

my response is now, “to block you and do my part to make sure you focus your finances on your medical bills and not comic books.”

I shook my head tonight btw and a part of me died.  Went to eat in the city and had to take a subway.  There was a guy singing this song... and I overhear a passerby comment that “this guy is trying to sing Kanye and don’t even know the words.”  The guy with no music history didn’t realize that the guy was singing a Ray Charles classic, “I’ve got a woman” which is what “Golddigger” the song he though my was being sung was based on. 

I threw up a little in my mouth. 

No excuse not to know some Ray Charles.

I always thank them for their service, but explain I'm not running a charity (shrug)

Of course, I have no idea if they're telling the truth or trying to scam me 2c

Sorry if this seller is a boardie (not really). 

This isn't someone holding out for the right price. This is someone smoking crack. What's the point?

These two art books you can get for less than $20 each. In good condition. These are in terrible shape. $250 starting price, but it now $330.
