K.G. tried to reason with him, kidding-on-the-square with an example a doctor might understand: “Granted, I don’t have any formal medical training, but I’ve been hanging out with doctors for years, watched several seasons of E.R., and even stayed in the hospital for a few nights. Surely, I could just grab a scalpel and do a quick tonsillectomy?”

The “Surely, I could just grab a scalpel and do a quick tonsillectomy?” comment cracked me up.
Sharp practice - eBay seller postage rip-off scam January 11, 2007

Since I last wrote, I’ve managed to expand my collection of cufflinks to 20ish sets.
It’s all the fault of eBay. They were priced so cheap. Postage was a killer though.
There is an eBay ""sharp practice"", which some people call a scam, but I won’t.
Sell an item cheap, say a $1, and craw your lost back though postage. If the buyer buys three things from you, charge three lots of postage.
My example.
Pay $9 for three cufflink sets, expecting that the seller would combine the $10 each item postage, so it only cost me $19. Nope.
The three cufflink sets arrived in the same envelope, but I was charged $30 postage.
A scam by another name.
On a final note, when I last did a cufflinks post, creat3cp left a comment. If you’re into cufflinks, you might want to check his site out.
