( I had to post this here too )
Hey I was just curious and went to E-Bay to check out some stuff. I decided to search for "spores" just to see what I would find... (if anything)
Check out this link.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1750519971
That is PF picture of the "PF classic" whoever this is that is using and advertizing with it.
This person is trying to rip people off for $34.99 for 2 syringes of an unspecified strain. He says you can get started with only $30 worth of supplies.
I e-mailed him telling him how much he sucks. 
There is no way that this is PF themselves or could it be?
This same person has sold sling shots and antenna boosters, so I don't think it's them, unless they have a hobby for antenna boosters and slingshots.

HAHA......yeah, ive seen them sell this shit on ebay.
I just think its funny that he says:
".. the MUSHROOM itself is not illegal, only the psychoactive compounds contained within!!"
What the fuck are you gonna do, grow them without the psychoactive compounds inside....its like you have a choice..... maybe if you cross-breed it with a giraffe...
Of course some of what he says is true cause it came from the 'Fanaticus' website
but whatever......

Yeah I told him "I guess you forgot to mention that they are going to need a pressure cooker" I also told him that I would let PF know that he is plagiarizing their picture, and that I felt sorry for anybody that would fall for his crap.
But I'm probably not going to go through the trouble of writing PF since they don't have an e-mail.
....Whatever.

This is just an update of the e-mail I sent to this guy. This is what he responded:
#1. I didn't see any copyright on PF's pictures.
#2. You do NOT need a pressure cooker. I've been successful just boiling the jars.
#3. All you need is mason jars and a few cheap substrate materials to get started.
#4. Who asked you? If you don't like it, don't buy it. I can't believe you would take the time. Don't you have anything better to do with your life?
#5. It's a free country. I can sell anything I want for any price I want. Supply and demand, baby. Why don't you put a bid in and try it out?
His e-mail: CStackhouse@hotmail.com

There was another guy selling a shroom growing kit that came with much more stuff and was even cheaper and crappier than what this guy has to offer. The spores weren't even being offered in syringes, he was selling them in little plastic vials. His method of sterilyzation was using a microwave. All these people think they can make quick easy money off stupid people on ebay. It pisses me off too.

I wouldnt sink that low because I have personal values...but if people are stupid enough to buy from them then let them. I mean, if you just type 'spore syringe' on google, youll come up with a bazillion sites, including this one.
But hey, the church preys on stupid people, the government preys on stupid people, and some people on ebay prey on stupid people Just dont be stupid:)

Of course, caveat emptor applies to anything you buy online. The problem is, this asshole isn't only preying on stupid people. He's also preying on naive or ignorant folks as well. (There is a difference!) Perhaps an e-mail to ebay management re: the inappropriate nature of his offer is needed? I'm both ignorant and naive re: anything to do with ebay myself. Any suggestions?

Go have a look. Made me laugh.
