think this lady is on the freepish side?
while surfing ebay for watering cans i came upon this lady's auction

her terms included this

"Please allow much longer shipping time out of country as well. Also there is an additional $3 handling fee for all sales outside of United States. I will not ship to these countries: Cuba, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Libya or Sudan

I appreciate your bids! God Bless! : ) "

hmmmm she had a nice piece but I think I'll pass....

1. Well, legally, she can't ship to those countries anyway :)
Along with a few others.

Of course, you must ask yourself this question . . . who in any of those countries would be on e-bay looking for a fucking watering can to begin with? :)

2. She certainly has the right to decide not to do business with
Edited on Thu Dec-09-04 09:08 PM by Wonk
whatever country she chooses, and you have the right to not do business with her if you so choose.

I don't really see what the big deal about that list is. I think it's illegal to ship to some of those countries anyway.

On the other hand if she'd listed Canada, France, Norway, etc as countries she wouldn't do business with I'd say freeper for sure, but she didn't.

5. The fact that she specifically mentioned the "axis of evil" countries
sounds really freepish to me.

3. Reply to her and say...
Well, my mother lives in Cuba, and I WAS going to bring her attention to your item, but since you are strictly forbidding her thousand dollar bid....

seriously, I dont know but the poster above is most likely right. Still...sounds like a person who adores a certain chimp to me..;

8. I've seen sellers who would ship everywhere but Canada, France, and
Germany. One of them even did business from a military base.

9. Isn't Iraq on our side now too?
What if some troop wanted her watering can? She wouldn't sell it to one of our troops? You Un-American bitch! I'm calling you out lady. She doesn't support our troops, call Homeland Security on that bitch!

13. I first memorized the list in 1984.
And yes, I know it's changed since then... so I'm not up to date.
