Dear competing Ebayers,
Please, please, please do your "homework" before bidding on fencing items on Ebay. I'm trying to acquire enough equipment to start a children's fencing class and you are making it more difficult than it should be. Don't you know that you shouldn't pay more than half of what this used stuff costs brand new?? Don't you know that a brand-new fencing mask sells for $55??? And when you jacked up your bid to $40 (+$10 shipping) that you're virtually paying full price for a USED mask??
If you'd also done your homework, you would have noticed that seller of the PRACTICE FENCING FOIL FRENCH GRIP has multiple ones of these for sale that he continues to list over and over again, so there's no reason to bid more than the starting bid of $9.99. And there's certainly no reason WHATSOEVER to bid over the Buy It Now price of $14.99. So when you won the auction with a final bid of $15.51, you actually paid more for it than you could have gotten it for right at that moment! If you see me with a bid of $9.99 on a foil, please skip it and go and bid on the next one he has with NO bids on it. That way we both win.
It doesn't take a lot of time to look at completed auctions or to look at all the fencing foils on sale at a particular time. Please do your homework and save me some heartache and frustation. And finally, please think of the children in this matter. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Disgruntled Ebayer
