Question

Did anyone see that the gunman from virginia tech bought empty clips off of eBay? I can't believe that . I dont think the gunmen was a victim either. He wasnt forced to go and murder 32 people on monday. I am still blown away by the whole thing. I just cant believe it did anyone else see the ebay thing?

Answer 1

On Friday, February 2, Cho Seung-hui ordered a handgun online. He purchased a .22 caliber Walther P22 on the internet from TGSCOM Incan and arranged to pick it up a week later, on Friday, February 9 at the J-N-D Pawnbrokers pawnshop in Blacksburg.

Cho bought a second handgun, a semiautomatic 9mm Glock 19, on March 13 at a Roanoke, Va. gun store. Markell, the owner of the gun store, said Cho's gun and a box of 50 bullets cost $571.

Using the handle Blazers5505 on EBay, Cho bought two 10-round magazines for the Walther P22 on March 22 from Elk Ridge Shooting Supplies in Idaho.

You can see a graphic of the shootings and where they took place in the dorm and Norris Hall here:

Was Cho a victim? Yes, kids bullied him. He felt he had the right to revenge. He felt anger, resentment, rage. He blamed everybody but himself. He could not forgive those who bullied him. He ruminated with violent fantasies of revenge and he planned his rampage down to bringing chains to chain the doors locked from the inside.

Cho had planned his rampage. First, from the inside he chained shut the exit doors of the Norris building to stop anyone escaping. He wore a bulletproof vest and had ammunition strapped across his chest as he calmly walked from room to room refilling his two handguns as he shot students. Some terrified students jumped for their lives from fourth floor windows, while others used desks to barricade doors.

Witnesses described Cho as a silent killer who was calm and showed no expression as he pursued and shot his victims. He killed himself as police closed in.

Answer 2

Hi, if a product has a reserve price, it will state so in the auction, though it will not tell you what the reserve is, only if you are below it. Generally only more expensive itemshave a reserve, cars, houses etc. If there is no mention of a reserve, then there isn't one. Though you may be the high bidder now, you wont necessarily still be at the time of auction end. a lot of people wait until the very end of an auction to bid, to try and stop a bidding war, and price inflation. this is what I do anyway. My recommendation would be to make a not of when the auction is ending, and jump on just before it does, and enter higher bid, at a price you would be happy to pay. The price will only go up if someone bids against you. If it's meant to be, it will be. You could also look into bid assistant, this will bid for you, up to a maximum price, dependin on movement. you can find all the info you need on eBay. Good Luck, and Happy Bidding

Answer 3

He bought TEN ROUND magazine on EBay. If he had any brains at all, he could have gone to the local gun store and gotten high capacity magazines. If price was the issue, the website below has much better deals. I think this issue is ANOTHER example of how the Liberal media is so anti-Second Amendment, they will publish anything that puts guns in a bad light. Next you can expect Harry Reid to present a bill to ban the same of ammo and magazines on the Internet...

Answer 4

yes i am quite shocked to have found out you can actually buy ammo on ebay....i mean what the heck, why not buy guns too.

also shocked on how all you need to buy a gun in VA is a background check that takes a minute.

but really, all that is irrelevant, because if he couldnt get a gun and clips from a store, he could've gotten it off the streets, just would've been harder.

i know everyone wants to point fingers and have something to blame at and blame for, like his teachers, his parents, the cops, his mental past history, his writings, his plays, etc....but seriously, all that is nonsense.

a perfect student with straight A's and no criminal behavior could've done the samething. not every murderer needs to show something negative about themselves on the side.

Answer 5

Yeah, I saw where he bought the clips and some ammo (I think) from EBay. If you want to buy something, EBay is obviously the place to do it. And, I agree that Cho was not a victim of anything except his own insanity!

Answer 6

yes you can you can get any thing off ebay. would there be a contraversy if he bought a knife off ebay? he bought it and it was regestered with the gun. it was legit and he could have bought it fron betty crocker and no one would have cared but sears is still trying to kill ebay.

Answer 7

You can buy a knife off of ebay. Doesn't matter. They didn't broker the gun or no ammunition. just empty magazines.

Answer 8

I really dont see what it matters where he bought them. ebay didnt pull the trigger.

Answer 9

Yes I read it too. The whole thing is a manifestation of evil.
