I salute you!

"I genuinely wish you every success in all your future endeavours."

I wonder if there was a little sarcasm in there.  :D

I suspect so, but I also think it is without malice.

Either way, common sense prevailed and it might be a good idea if you made a note of that in your diary.  You may need to refer to it when talking to your great grandchildren.

I just bought a GF leather jacket off Ebay.  It was worryingly the Ebayer's fIrst transaction and the poor soul had a buy-it-now price of £400.  He failed to include a started bid though and I managed to swoop in and snatch it for £29 - that's right, £29!

As the guy doesn't have any feedback to worry about yet I think he may skip out and so I left it 12hrs before paying to give him a chance to mail me and cry-off.

No mail, so I paid.

What's the odds that I don't ever receive the item?

That's probably £29 more than the seller paid for it.

Got my Jacket yesterday and it will look the nuts in the autumn, especially when riding my Firestorm.

Thankfully, I'm not that bad yet.

I have bought some pretty dreadful stuff though.
