A guy sold his ex-wife’s beanie babies on eBay
and was accused of being part of a beanie baby black market. He had already explained that he didn’t care about them and just wanted the money to buy tools. And beer. But that didn’t stop the crazy ebayers from e-mailing him.
$860?! Damn.

By the end he’s using an awful lot of capital letters.
I also found the “I don’t think my ex-wife was in the Black Market Beanie Trade..but then again, I didn’t know she was having an affair either!” comment quite humorous…in a sad sort of way.
Still, you can buy some pretty sweet tools for $860, so I guess the stress was worth it.
