All the people that were going to buy them were in on the Joke as everything I do is well planned, so really again it just goes to show sarcastic behavior is just unprofessional is not tolerated and soon will lose respect by others.
I sent PM to about 20 people a few days before….giving them the heads up and they were working it in the Chat Room (Great Work guys as you are the best!)
So guess we are still laughing and should be great talk at the thon indeed.
This was great, lots on PMs after laughing big time.
We took you for a ride and you still are trying to win here, guess it will hit in a few years…which is even better!

Love and Kisses, Ch
I'm glad you put so much effort into tricking me into doing nothing and invoking zero emotion. Good one, maybe you should have your own candid show since you're so good at coming up with fantastic pranks. I can't wait till April first to see what kind of stuff you have up your sleeve. There's some sarcasm for ya, would have been funnier if I had sent you a desperate PM asking to "PLEASE SELL ME THEM NOW!" Dontcha think? Hey at least you got all the attention you so desperately wanted and needed. That satisfy you for a few minutes.

It was easy to see that this was a prank, most guys on this forum are wise enough to not throw away that much money for a simple HGT1N40N60A4D Once I saw the huge sums of money my mind immediately said prank

Its not that big a deal...It infact had a great point behind it that few seem to grasp: Supply and demand rules! As well as illuminates an aggravting scenario that is beginning to play out on ebay with some items such as high power lasers. This may have been a joke, but ebay is no joke. People with $$$ dont spend time to research prices and they OVERPAY big time, thus shutting out others. Nothing like paying $500 for a laser diode that NORMALLY goes for 50-100$ Next time around, the seller has NEW prices reflecting the jump in price from the asshats. Eventually this calms down a bit back to normal, but nothing like having the ride the wave when you need something. A great example is the seller that sells "High power IR collimators, SMA style". A close look reveals its worth $10 in parts, and is GLUED together by the seller from cheap junk. They go for $50-$100 REGULARLY on ebay now. Matt

Good point, the thread will be closed if Tom540 and Dr. Spark don't stop trashing each other.
There's nothing wrong with making something out of $10 of parts and selling it for $100. It's just healthy capitalism. How much do you think the plastic and fabric that make up your Nike sneakers cost?

Hee hee, well Tom has been dicking with my post for a long time and even had to have Chris R. jump in there and delete his sarcastic inputs on my great Teslathon invite page. I get a lot of PMs and even forward them to Chris that Tom is a Butthead and pissing them off also.
So let’s vote right now and get this over with….
Who do you want to stay….. Tom or me….?
4HV will vote!
I have been invited to a new Forum; however, I only live on one site.
I will not post or even comeback to 4HV till Tom is gone and receive a message from Chris R.. Now that will get ride of a lot of noise.
