This. Exactly.Seller's response was a little "in your face," borderline insulting. Best would have been to poltley decline your offer and move on.

I don’t see the need to cry about it here to us?
Since we are a forum we’re we discuss things the OP is entitled to “cry about it here” if he so chooses.
I suspect for some. I hate negotiating price. Tell me what you want. If I think it's a good price, I will buy, if not, I walk on.Negotiating is half the fun.
Sorry guys if it seems like I'm crying but I was just trying to make a point that maybe wasn't clear, here's a good quote : "you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar" & it cost him a sale. I should have included in my original post that ironically I ended up buying one from the $80 guy and it didn't cost me $80.
One of my bosses gave me great advice over the years. One piece of advice was this: Don't take anything personally. It's just business.
So, that said, you could have bought one for $40 but because you felt insulted, you paid more for one (less than $80 but probably more than $40?) from another seller? Do I have that correct?
Let's see. $30 minus ebay fees and shipping means I would keep about $22 when someone else is selling them for $80 (and sold one about a week ago). I think I will keep the price at $39.95, or maybe raise it by $10.
LOLIf they do...
Yup that's what I should have done, your right.The seller probably thought he was going out of his way to explain his price. Given the OP's overly sensitive reaction, I think a simple "FU" might be sufficient next time. I hope nobody thinks I'm being insulting by saying that. If they do...
LOL
Gotta be tough. When someone calls me a-hol... I make sure i stand up for myself. I come right back with "That's Mr. Hole to you!"
One can't write such things in an ebay message without suffering deleterious repercussions.The seller probably thought he was going out of his way to explain his price.

Thanks for all the replies, its been a fun read but time to move on, I have and it all worked out as like I said in a following post I got a nice razor on its way to me for less than the other seller wanted. To MntnMan62 it was $37 btw.
