Zac, I'm sorry if you found my comment offensive. I didn't mean it in that light. regardless of who the seller might have been. If you think it's possible to move it at that price, by all means - more power to you! It'll just show how much I know Hell, stranger things happen every day!!! But I did find it a bit unrealistic.

Zac,

You have excellent eBay FB! ... and apparently a nice eBay business. You don't owe anyone any excuses, apologies or explanations. (I hope I'm not out of line saying this). But you're still young, and life hasn't dealt you the greatest hand. OK. So... I once met a man with no shoes, and felt bad, until I met a man with no feet. Until... ? And you? So you have some issues and it's not my intent to minimize them at all.

I haven't had the greatest luck in life either,(though I'm making no comparisons) but I try to count my blessings. My life could also be better but I always try to remember it could be far, far worse. I empathize with you. That doesn't really help though, so here's something that might...

There's this great little book written by Don Miguel Ruiz called "The Four Agreements", you can find it online if you're interested. I'd recommend it to anyone. It's a very short read but it's powerful and insightful. Almost everyone could benefit from the advice and basically it condenses down to this:

1. Be Impeccable With Your Word.
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don't Take Anything Personally.
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don't Make Assumptions.
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best.
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

I don't mean to come-off as some preachy know-it-all. I'm just trying to pass along something I think is helpful.

Best,
Rob
