Include this as the some extra jammed inside the box of crayons.

hell, you should ship back to him as 'payment' the items from every other auction you all won.... 4 different bidders, all the items return in 1 package for 1 used typewriter.

EBay fees would only come to about $3.30 on a $100 item. Given there has already been a cost of $20 to get the crayons, an additional three bucks should be very little (and besides, he might actually buy them back when he realises what a valuable property he let go - during the auction, you can email him and thank him for letting the crayons go so cheaply).

If nothing else, the winning "bidder" can paypal you a portion of your real costs in exchange for the fabulous feedback you'll ultimately give each other.

The thing is, this ONLY happens on DVDtalk, and it HAPPENS MORE THAN ONCE.

Remember Cameron? the imdb movie reviewer. We all laughed at him, we all said how funny it was that he hated smoking, we joked how he must have some fire obsession because of the smoking and remarks about nice expolisions... then we found some poetry by him which was creepy and twisted about him killing girls and going on arson sprees!

This is one god damn weird forum.

Too many good ideas at once. (see below) Ah, the power of the Otter Forum when focused. But if he wants to these are going to einTier.

Feneant That could be brilliant.

Let me know and I will forward on the book when it arrives.

Yeah - then he got my hotmail account closed... I hate that guy.

yea, but you could list the crayons and put them up on ebay before entier actually sends them.. then both jokes work.

and to make it better.. you could use the pictures he sent you guys!

then when he receives the crayons back.. we can see what type of description he puts on his auction when he tries to sell them again

Oh my god. That could be REALLY funny.

Preacher sells the crayons on EBay
Eintier "buys" them at $100+
Eintier gives them back to the original seller, who - faced with a huge potential profit puts them on EBay only to have them not sell.

If he asks, you tell him that his original crayons must have been the "type G" rare crayon set, but the ones that Eintier sent him were just ordinary "type B" crayons.

Perhaps "type G" crayons are more pointy than "type B" crayons, maybe they were just the prototypes, perhaps something else. Either way, he'll never be 100% sure if the crayons he sent out were the same ones he received back.

You could just call them the "type G" ones in the auction. Then he'll see what he stupidly sold so cheaply.

Then he gets it back as payment for shipping and he lists it again as the rare "type G" crayons. Nobody bids.

Oh, how is he going to find that auction?

This is a damn great thread. You evil bastards.

Every time you bid and lose an auction they send an informative list of items similar to what you were bidding on.

eg. [Item Not Won - Similar Items Found

Dear atlas153,
Unfortunately, your bid did not win the following item from puppy-papa:

BAND OF BROTHERS 6PK DVD COLLECTOR METAL CASE - Item #1975857734
Final price:
US $75.00 Your maximum bid:
US $39.03 End date:
07-Dec-02 21:14 EST

Here are some other items on eBay you might be interested in:

Similar items found on .... etc etc ]

So we could adapt this to say " 'Congratulations on your Sale' here are some similar items and their going rate." Leave all the rest of the information in place. He probably would not know that this is not the normal approach by Ebay and we could get him to take a look at the auction. But what do we do about sending it? Has to come with the official looking seal of approval doesn't it?

Was it already posted that he also got this?

3 prong stainless steel Anal Speculum

This is a stainless steel medical examination device intended for anal spreading. It is solid and well-made.

We sell this item as a collector's piece or novelty.

Do not use it for anal spreading unless you know how to use it safely and carefully.

The probe section is about 3.5" (9cm) long, and is 0.75" (2cm) in diameter when closed. When opened, the prongs spread to a maximum of 2" (5cm) apart, which is enough of a spread to do damage to some people (hence the need for extreme caution).

Once the desired spread is achieved, the speculum can be locked open by turning an adjustment screw on the front of the device.

I wouldn't forge an email from EBay - if he did report it to them, you might find yourself in serious hot water.

A much better way to ensure he saw your auction was to send him an email letting him know you'd used the photos he sent you in your resale of the crayons.

You don't have a digital camera, so you're using the shots he sent you, etc. and you just thought you'd let him know etc. You could also hint that your original suspicions [of their value] proved to be correct as they were in fact "type xyz crayons".

From his point of view, you're simply doing him the courtesy of informing him that you're reposting the photos he's sent you and piquing his curiosity.

naughty jonny: Maybe. Not too concerned. But your idea might be the way except that I won the auction but he never sent any pictures to me. And no we will not use Dek's version with the circling.

Buford T Pusser: Yeah it closely followed RandyC finding the original dilator equipment. That was half the horror. He was planning a very festive time. Apparently the gear he had around the house was just not doing it. Got a few bucks and thought he would go pro.

Could always download and repost his original pictures from the first auction - sending an email to him acknowledging their use. If you're looking at really screwing with his mind, it's best not to use Dek's version - more chance of him getting wise to the setup.

An acknowledgment for use of the pictures sounds good.

Of course after he sends the typewriter in exchange for all the really good crap he's getting in return, einTier has to refuse delivery and have it sent back to him.

Of course, we could simply send him all our assorted crap. Given he's a guy who really seems to hate throwing anything out, we could see how long before they appear on EBay (with free shipping).

If he was getting strange stuff from all over America (and the world) he would really start to wonder.

yep.. the acknowledgment of the use of the picture is the final piece of my devious plan muahahahahaha

Great thread. I've been away from the Other forum too long.

naughty jonny, X, twikoff

With this kind of brilliance we could rule the world.

Wow, this is crazy.

I like .

Maybe they guy just has an unnaturally small *******. It COULD happen... and he needs these tools because he can't afford to go to the doctor.

He also seems to buy a lot of creepy books...

But wasn't it you who told him about us on dvdtalk making fun of him? that'll learn ya!

Any updates?

I'm game for whatever you guys want to do, just tell me what the final plan is.
