I would have responded to the "Interested in the reversing ring" with
something like; "Well .... what would you like to know about it?". Or;
"Thank you for your interest in my Reversing Ring... (and then go into a
detailed description, what it does, etc)".
Cheers,
Lee

Subject: [OM] A curious e-mail

Hi Zuiks:
I had some miscellaneous items that I had offered to the list that
didn't sell, so I put them on da Bay. They didn't sell there, either!
Right after my auction ended on an OM reversing ring, I received the
following cryptic message (in the "Question for Seller"):
"Interested in the reversing ring."
Okay, if you are a list member, send me an e-mail, and I'll sell it to
you.
Paranoid person that I am, I feared that da Bay was trying to "entrap"
me into selling outside the system.
Idea #2 is that the potential buyer was trying to buy the item for less
than the minimum bid ($10). Hmmph, I'll keep it if I can't get $10 out
of it.
I resisted to write back to the person, WELL, THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU BID?
Have I read too many of Walt's posts? Is this grumpiness by
association? Am I doomed?
What think you all?
Bill Stanke
