If you are dumb enough to get caught up in this originality crap, then you deserve to have to pay the man. Fortunately for the rest of us , there is a sucker born every minute.

The part I found most humorous was "I will combine shipping to help save on shipping costs". They're two friggin' bolts - drop the suckers in a freakin' envelope and send 'em insured (that's funny all by itself) via USPS, for Pete's sake!
