Jason, those are my two best dumb seller stories from the last twelve years. So each is a once-in-six-years incident. If I had to guess, I would guess that the first guy was trying to raise money for meth. My guess is that the second guy was lucid but email careless. In and of itself that's not bad or even rare, but it inadvertently revealed his dishonesty.

Naturally, in the second incident I told the seller he should take the other guy's higher offer as I wasn't going to match or beat it.

Though the stories are funny in retrospect, I don't think anyone finds it funny when somone steals his images to make counterfeits. Most find it disturbing.
