This guy mis-categorizes his stuff, and eBay won't do anything about it. This bothers me a lot.

Aside from that, this stuff is stupid, but if it's a free country and people can buy and sell what they want.

Guy walks onto a used car lot, sees a rusty old Pinto.

Guy: "Hey, how's that one run?"

Salesman: "It runs about as well as any Pinto. It was a fine car when it was new."

Guy: "Is this price about what they go for?"

Salesman: "It's what we always try to get."

Guy: "I'll take it. Do you want my trade-in?"

Salesman: "Sure, we'll recycle it for you for $100."

Guy: "Sounds good."

You can spend your whole life trying to protect people like this, or you can let them live their own lives. I think that beyond a certain age, everyone needs to take a certain amount of responsibility for their own buying and selling decisions.
