She the person replies back and says - "I talked to someone more knowledgable than you about these machines and they can convert it so it takes a usb memory stick but it will cost so I'll buy your machin from you for 2000.00 less than you have it listed for...ok?"

I'm not kidding that was her direct quote...I'm thinking "seriously? seriously?" I can't even bring myself to respond to this person....

reply to her...."uh...no, NOT OK"

- so that's what I'm going to do before I tell her where she can go with her "computer sticky thingy" (memory stick).[/quote]

No, no, NO. Don't put anything in writing. NOTHING. Just let it go. She's not stupid, just greedy. The best revenge is to sell it to someone else. But do NOT put anything in writing.

You can vent to us, but not to anyone on ebay.

I've taken ya'lls advice and gone and blocked her from bidding I can see this becoming a nightmare quickly....

You are handling that well - is she emailing you or posting questions on the ebay board?

how does she have your email address ??
emails are not valid in an ebay claim only ebay messaging.
Please stop with the emails.
She is a gamer...don't play the game.

she had sent me a question about the hours since the machine was last serviced - my machine doesn't track that - so I took a screen shot and sent it to her rather than adding it to my posting. She has also sent these same emails through the ebay email system. But she has sent them a 2nd time to my personal account.

Pam,
I have dealt with these people and it always ends up a major headache.
Just block her and don't respond to any more messages or emails.
she knows she has a fish (you) on the line and she is going to try and reel you in. you do not want to sell to her at any cost.
