Terminally stupid bidders

-IRTA 'ambiviolent'. Interesting word, that.

It's similar to those ambipur things that make your room smell like a Himalayan
spring morning, only these ones are more like Vesuvius.

Yeah, well, I was going to bid on this myself until, after enquiry, I
found out that it was a cheap pattern item retailing at ukp79.

Now the bidding's up to ukp110! OK, none of my biz, and all, but I
emailed the bidder and pointed him at Dave Silver's website where the
seat is listed at 79 quid.

Got a snotty email back[1], with links to Silver's prices, telling me
that it was listed at ukp129 and I must be looking at the wrong part.
That is, azzitappens, the price of a *genuine* seat. If you click on
the pattern parts links, it's clearly listed at ukp79.

So, I repeat my original assertion - he's terminally dim. This, as you
say, is how one learns.
