Extraordinary response to an eBay query

It's late January 2011 and I was looking at this eBay item--1939 Packard Sedan Super 8, which is really a convertible. URL is here:http://motors.shop.ebay.com/Cars-Trucks-/6001/i.html?_fxd=1&_sop=10&_cat=6389&_pcats=6001%2C6000&_rkw=packard&_dct=1

I notice the seller has set a minimum bid of $85,000. I also notice that all the posted photos of the car were taken in October, 2008. I send the seller, "buy_it_now_classic_cars," an email, politely suggesting that he would probably have better luck selling the car if he posted recent photos.

This is his response, verbatim and in its entirety:

"Fuck u get in a plane dreamer
