Whenever I report a fake, I always look through the seller's other items to see if there are more fakes to report.

The reported listing has been removed and there are no more fakes but the seller's other listings were.........

......um, ah, interesting!! And life-sized!

I saw a documentary about realDolls (how they are manufactured, the folks that buy them, the folks that, ahem... Repair? Clean? them)

Super interesting! BUT... After watching it I'm POSITIVE this is the sort of thing one should purchase directly from the manufacturer or original retailer! Yiiiich[emoji16] Apparently they're still new but... Just... Hmmm... And folks judge me for buying SHOES on eBay!

I'm pretty sure one of those costs more than my first car cost me!!

That seller can get the comment removed. Ebay might or might not leave the neg but the comment would definitely be removed.

    LOL 14 years on Ebay and still don't know how feedback works? Of course blocked

If you ask me, it's the SELLER not the buyer that doesn't understand how FB works. :rolleyes:

An Amazon review for a Honeywell thermostat. :lol:

My former wife loves to take expensive vacations. We live in Ohio, which doesn’t exactly have extravagant places to see unless you like to watch grass growing or interstate construction. While we make OK money, I’m convinced she felt the need to single handedly improve the US economy by taking elaborate vacations: Broadway shows in New York City, gambling in Las Vegas, Spa’s in Arizona, sightseeing in San Francisco. The airlines know me so well they ask about my dog when I call to make reservations. His name is Fred.

In my attempt to try and save whatever I could so the princess could have her nice things I bought this Honeywell Wi-Fi enabled device so I could adjust the HVAC while we were away piling up massive amounts of debt on Mickey Mouse watches. I thought we could save a few bucks by keeping the temp cool in the winter and warm in the summer. The device was easy to install. I did not have the “blue” connector so I had to re-purpose the green one - this required an adjustment to the actual HVAC unit in our home. There are plenty of videos on Youtube to demonstrate how to do this. Within an hour I was up and running.

The device works flawlessly. You can adjust the temp from anywhere you have a Wi-Fi or cellular signal. Little did I know that my ex had found someone that had a bit more money than I did and decided to make other travel plans. Those plans included her no longer being my wife and finding a new travel partner (Carl, a banker). She took the house, the dog and a good chunk of my 401k, but didn’t mess with the wireless access point or the Wi-Fi enabled Honeywell thermostat.

Since this past Ohio winter has been so cold I’ve been messing with the temp while the new love birds are sleeping. Doesn’t everyone want to wake up at 7 AM to a 40 degree house? When they are away on their weekend getaways, I crank the heat up to 80 degrees and back down to 40 before they arrive home. I can only imagine what their electricity bills might be. It makes me smile. I know this won’t last forever, but I can’t help but smile every time I log in and see that it still works. I also can’t wait for warmer weather when I can crank the heat up to 80 degrees while the love birds are sleeping. After all, who doesn’t want to wake up to an 80 degree home in the middle of June?

That is really, REALLY strange..
I could see $360. which is about what she paid, in fact it's $2. more than she paid..
The only thing I could think of to justify this is that she has a specific buyer that's going to make an offer they have already agreed upon.
The ridiculous price prevents anyone else from buying it until her buyer can make their offer & pay.

I've seen this set up several times before and I've seen it advised for sellers that need to list for a specific buyer..

If that's NOT the case than this seller is off the rails. :shocked:
