I won a Harpo and Groucho Marx costume on Ebay a week before Halloween. The buyer said they had $400 into the costumes (and they were really nice). I won it for $5 Immediatly after paying for it I get this email:
Hello! Thanks for buying these costumes. I do, however, have some bad news. I pulled everything out of the attic this morning from storage for shipping and half of this stuff has been eaten (the silk mainly) by rats. It is also covered in rat feces and urine. What a sad loss! I have refunded 100% of your money (includes shipping) and deeply apologize for the inconvenience. Regards, Molly
I replied:
Thanks,
I ll have to remember that brilliant story the next time I sell something too cheap on ebay!
Guess Ill try for a Zeppo costume instead
