My offer was different than the original terms? That's funny, because I told you I would pay what you were asking and then even offered to arrange a pickup in person so you wouldn't have to screw around at the post office and paypal fees. Your location has since been mysteriously removed from your profile.
Oh, and just to clarify, of course I didn't NEED the luggage, it was a nice to have at the price point that you listed it at. Am I supposed to feel bad because I was going to pay what you were originally asking for and NOT inform you about your stupidity in setting the price?
"This can of soup on clearance is obviously listed for less than it's worth, let me shell out 2.5x that amount just for the hell of it." Idiot.
And no, I wasn't going to pawn it off on ebay, but nice ASSumption *******.
Regardless, I called you a lazy *******, and obviously you took offense. But sorry, truth hurts sometimes. All that garbage you spewed in your first paragraph was assuming I was pissed about not getting the luggage. I already mentioned that I wasn't and explained my reasoning, so I can't lay it out for you any simpler than that, chief. LAZINESS, not jealousy was (and remains) the original basis for my original response and as you can see, I am not the only one who found your antics slightly unsavory. Moral of the story champ: when you waste my time (and subsequently **** me off because of it), you're going to have some negative publicity coming your way... which you are now fully aware of.
"BTW, MJGroves, you can have the last post, as I won't respond again."
My my, how so very MATURE of you sir, bravo bravo. Where are the "rolling eyes" emotes when you need them. All games aside, you're going to read this message (curiousity is too great), and learn not to pull this kind of stunt again. So we all win.

Additionally, it was more than 5 people who PM'ed me to repost because the amount was too low. Once I did, I immediately talked to person who first responded to the original post and was happy to purchase it. So, how did that affect you? Amazing. Especially since you now say you don't need the luggage. You should understand contract law before you open up with some pathetic war over something you claim to not need, when the purpose of my offering it was to sell it to someone who did.
What is more interesting is that you would find it completely acceptable to purchase it and get over on someone rather than let them know it was an extremely low offering price. Seems like you are pissed because you couldn't take advantage of someone, as I am sure you would have immediately relisted it to sell.
By the way, you should use the term Bait and Switch correctly. A Bait and Switch is offering one item at a low price and then selling a different item at a higher price. Not changing the price of an item. Additionally, if the person who purchased the luggage decides that this was a sham or they were taken, I would be happy to cancel their offer. Please PM me and let me know. I don't need to sell as we discussed and will gladly put it back in the basement or donate it.
BTW, MJGroves, you can have the last post, as I won't respond again. I am sure that will give you some sort of satisfaction and make up for your inability to resell the luggage at a profit.
