IMAGINE...a John Lennon Death Certificate Selling GHOUL on Ebay

Can you imagine somebody making a living by xeroxing death certificates?

That's CHUCK. Make that UPCHUCK.

Ooh, what entertainment, what amusement, to look at a xerox of John Lennon's death certificate:

What do you think of a nickel-and-dime slimeball who'd charge $3.95 or $4.95 for a few pages of a xerox copy? A library charges less than .50

CHUCK who runs CHUCKSAUCTIONHOUSE (ebay seller name) wants MORE than that. He charges a whopping $15.95 shipping!

Yes, $15.95 to fold 3 sheets of paper and put it in an envelope. An envelope is less than 5 cents. The xeroxing is less than 15 cents. The stamp is 50 cents.

PS. It's a violation of Ebay rules to overcharge on shipping, but sellers try to sneak the overblown shipping rather than pay an extra 10 cents to Ebay.

You see, if CHUCK was HONEST, his ad would be for $16.95 and $1.00 shipping and handling. or maybe $2.00 shipping and handling.

Nah. Ebay charges maybe five or ten cents for his $4.95 ad. They'd charge him 25 cents for a $16.95 ad. Why should CHUCK pay Ebay the fee they demand?

Better to stiff Ebay by sneaking a $15.95 charge...and hoodwinking a bidder who doesn't notice the huge shipping charge, and might simply click the PAYPAL button, quickly pay, and not notice what a scam it is.

OH. One last thing.

UPCHUCK routinely runs three, four, six, ten duplicate auctions at the same time, flooding the site with his death certificates.

The idea is that anyone searching a category (like "Entertainment") will be guaranteed to find a Lennon death certificate auction, since he posts a new one every other day. He isn't going to rely simply on people typing in John's name!

Yes, it's illegal and against Ebay rules to sneak duplicate listings. A seller is only supposed to run ONE at a time. If you have five "John Lennon Imagine" CDs and want to get rid of 'em all quickly and need cash fast, the best you can do is put up ONE "buy it now" ad, showing the quantity as 5. You can NOT run 5 individual ads.

PS, UPCHUCK is also using a photo of John Lennon without the permission or Lennon's estate of the photographer.

Imagine that...
