Exactly. You do get some idiots on ebay. Its the law of averages. For every 10 'normal' people your always going to get a few strange people. So he's monaing about £3.59. Im sure if you add it up what its actually cost you in materials, fuel, and time, it will probably be more than £3.59 or very close too as you say.
He's probably got face on becuse he realises he paid over the odds for it.
I had a few items listed a while back, exactly the same items, some on auction and some on 'buy it now'. One bloke paid a fiver over the buy it now price and then demanded that i refund him the fiver, because ive 'ripped him off'!

Its just full of idoits and its getting worse.
