A Response to a Troll Doll Thief

There's a saying on Wall St that sums up very concisely what mistake you made but also should be a reality check for you if you're going to continue trying these shady underhanded "highway" jobs; which are the main reason why people don't like to deal in the "free zone" of FB.

It's "pigs get fed, hogs get slaughter". FB Mrkt...sometimes it's like a dark back alley in downtown Detroit after midnight. Anyway, ahhh yeah, the internet is not going to let me do anywhere even close to your proposed "fair" price. I ain't going outta business, this ain't no blue light special, and I must certainly will never be Unicef. Am I wearing a crown? Is my first name "Burger"? No. The "Ole Googles" would rake me over white-hot coals if I submitted to your $30 for 23...not 17... or 20, 21, or 22. Thank you for correcting my physical count of 23 units by the way, really shows how much respect you have people you don't know. There are 23 of them and they are all Russ company, fully accessorized, even every loose shoe is accounted for. And, see that was the first "ping" in my gut. You're actually going to question my counting of 23 individual articles by as much as a variance of +/- 6? You really thought that I'd miss count by 6? No...You didn't.

See, here's where I stop listen to the words and translate the action behind them to determine the motivation. This long winded lecture could also be translated; it's meaning loud and clear simply by the exact number of characters I'm up to at this point....1,339 characters counting to that very "8" used.

Let's dispel you getting any trolls from me. The astronaut alone is $33.95 before tax and shipping on Amazon. Hell, Amazon is cheaper 98% of the time to eBay but you want all 23...all 23 for $30? Let me ask you a question...Does this strategy actually ever work? The "way more info than I need" thing, confide in me so I trust you right? Then you follow that with covert attempts to make me question reality like I could of have been off in a rush or something and counted 22 or 24, but to question me all the way to 17. Gaslighting, cornerstone manipulation tool of the narcissist. To think that I'd be more than 25% off the count of, again I can't stress your wanton disregard for the subtle art that is "the con", I'd have to be all but brain dead and on life support to miscount by up to 6 on 23. And don't even try to say anything in defense like I didn't want to commit to a whopping $30 dollars before you saw them. There is no commitment to buy or sell anything until it's sold or bought, see, that's why FB Mrkt is free.

Moving on...to further explanation of my grading of you as an "F" on this final examination. Your bit in the last msg thinking you may have overstepped? You felt you'd overstepped and showed too eager. So you made this wild claim that you "just missed" 17 of these god awful things for $20 last night. These numbers are not even in the dimension of reality. I was going to quote you $150 for all and that is a good starting position for me with room. I would come to $110 in the end. I write all this to be passive-aggressively humorous...you give me way more than one reason to just end this conversation now but here's my final thought and she's the reason you're getting this message from me.

She's smiling as I type this. My step-mother has been gone for 3 years now. She bought me and my brother these types of things when we growing up, thinking they were a "good investment" somehow....I don't get it, never did. An over mass produced 1.1 million count of plastic dolls or stuffed animals from China is the further thing from an invest imaginable, beside trying to protect your wealth from thief's by physically burning it. The worth of everything is all but pegged to the inherent value of rarity. Simply put, if there is 1 of 1 thing, then it is inherent in the system of exchange used that if there are 3 of 3 of another "like" thing, the 1 of 1 is worth the same as the 3 of 3 unless were discussing energy output. That adds are first variant to the now equation that determining value has become.

You don't have to confuse yourself with those thoughts...You got an F here. You're so bad at this, and this is coming from experience, as in...I'm good at this. You need to give up.
