Actual message from an eBay seller: Did he really need to tell me that?

[The General]

Hey guys as some of you would know I'm ex-Regular Army and I collect a lot of military vehicles and stuff. I was recently discussing the purchase of a second diecast military fire engine from an eBay seller in Virginia, U.S.A.

The following is an edited version of our conversation:

MY MESSAGE TO THE SELLER:

Hi ******,

I recently purchased and received one of these mini pumpers from you and was very pleased with my purchase. I see you have listed another one with an identical B.I.N. price of $20.00. If you have 2 of these in stock (or the yellow version) and can offer me a combined shipping price on both I will take 2 of them off your hands. If not, that's okay. Cheers ******

HIS REPLY TO ME:

Hello ******,

I was starting to send a reply to you stating I had 2 red ones left, and then got called away because of diarrhea running through me. By the time I got back to the computer, the one sold to a bloody american. So I have one left. Is that the only ****** you are looking for? Or others such as the suburbans and extending ladder truck. So The other one I can let you have it for directly for $* shipped first class international. Thanks, ******

Do you think this guy is a bit simple or was he having a laugh at a "Dumb Aussie"?

I posted it on here knowing that some people would get a laugh out of it.

Can't say for sure that he did it for the same reason.

I think you might be onto something.

Mate it's definitely one of the shittiest excuses I've seen used. But being so strange and kinda embarrassing I'd guess it's actually true.

Either that or he's the ultimate liar. I mean no-one makes that shit up.

I better stop there are too many crappy cliches on offer my friend.

Lol, send a big g'day back from me mate. You bro used to sit opposit me in bio, Wal Crannys class, man that was a funny time. Your bro constantly entertained me, got me in the poo occasionally, making me lol at the wrong moment.

Any fully grown man that buys and sells toy trucks on the internet is sure to be a weirdo, so it does not surprise me at all....
