An offer I can refuse

Got an ASQ from evilbay. I've seen the like before and considered not wasting my time answering, but for some reason did.

Man in Spain wants my 'best price, much cheapness' for 15 balls. They're normally £5.99 each, so I told him £5, and postage at cost.

He no like this offer. He wants them cheap enough that he can sell them at £5.99 and make a profit. He tells me he is doing me a favour, as I will only have to go to the post once with his order and not 15 times if I sold them directly to 15 different people.

Er, no. I go to the post every day, for the other people who buy things. I go once a day, not every time someone buys something.

Now if you was offering to come and drill holes in the cold and rain for me, well, I'd consider it. But you've already said in your email that you consider the making part of things to be hard work that you don't want to do. Thanks for your kind offer to let me do the work, and you'll take the profit for doing nothing, but I think I'll pass.....

I guess he wants to sell them on ebay.

Why didn't I think of buying things on ebay to sell on ebay at the same price as the guy I bought them from?

Bound to be a winning formula.
