It's After Midnight, and you figure what the heck, I'll finish up with listing that Star Wars Darth Vader Burger King Toy that your son left on the car floor last week for $.99 Buy It Now. I can use some more Positive Feedback, after all. So, you take the Photo and write up a Catchy little paragraph. All the Details on Shipping, Payment, Returns etc. are Clearly Stated. Super, Done Deal. Hit Submit and Go To Bed.

Next day, you receive a Dozen Questions about the Condition of the Burger King Darth Vader Toy. You respond politely to All of them. You don't want to Delete them, in case there's a Problem down the road, so the Ole' Message Center is getting pretty full.

Later that day you're Amazed at the Hits your getting on the Burger King Darth Vader Toy, your Andale Counter appears to have Heat Waves emanating from it. But still no Buy It Now for $.99. Could this be a Super Rare Darth Vader Burger King Toy? You immediately begin an Advanced Search for Other Darth Vader Burger King Toys on Ebay to see what Indeed they're going for.  No Results.

You're beginning to think that Buy It Now wasn't such a Good Idea when BAM, It Sells. Great, my Antique Clock just sold for $600. but you go through all the motions and handle the $.99 Burger King Darth Vader Toy with just as much concern as the $600. Antique Clock.

Two days later the Buyer inquires why the Burger King Darth Vader Toy hasn't Arrived yet. He also complains that the shipping by Priority Mail was Too High, in his opinion. After All, he hasn't received it yet. You Politely Respond, More Mail in the Ole' Message Box. Meanwhile, you receive Positive Feedback on the Antique $600. Clock, arrived in Record Time, Loves It.

Day Three, and the Buyer has received his Burger King $.99 Darth Vader Toy. Now he wants to know why it wasn't Bubble Wrapped, Packed In Foam Peanuts, Double Boxed and Insured. However, your 100% Positive Feedback is So Important to You, that you Respond Politely Once Again, and leave the Most Glowing Feedback you can, " A Pleasure To Deal With, Recommend To ALL, A+++++" and a couple Smiley Faces if you have the room to fit them in.

Thirty days Later, the Buyer Still hasn't left any Feedback. Your Message Center is Still Overflowing. You keep checking, Nervous that He'll be The One to Ruin That Perfect Track Record. All for $.99, and Actually Considerably Less after all the Fees.

Moral of the Story: Don't Eat at Burger King.

Please Note: Intended as Humor Only, I Never Sold a Burger King Darth Vader Toy, Nor do I Know it's Actual Value. Enjoy Ebay!
