Searching for a VHT Valvulator on eBay, and this popped up......maybe I'm just a bleeding heart, but it really burns me when people try to make money off of such a tragedy...

I think perhaps VHT was for something else and this is his idea of a way to sell it. But I agree... the guy is a scum for marketing it this way and if he really ordered it like that he's a first class schmuck. I hope he gets some hate messages on his ebay account. Takes all kinds.

Yes. This person obviously lives on the same planet as we do, but I can't imagine which world he/she is in except I think it's probably quite an ugly one.
Lots of stuff and a recently acquired ability to stop buying
