I was wondering the same thing. How do you know the seller is an ass and hates CB'ers? I see nothing on that site that indicates any such thing.
If indeed that's all the OP was talking about "10-4 good buddy crystals" then one should not get bent about something that CB'ers coined themselves. Maybe it isn't and we will have to wait for him to respond and see.
I've seen Jeff's ads on Ebay for years, and think it's more of him understanding his market very well. Who else is going to buy those crystals for an FT 101 rig? CB'ers and freebanders are really the only ones. Same thing goes for the wide AM filters for the 101's. He states "don't gripe at me for the prices being driven up so high, it's the CB'ers that are creating the demand". Not too many of the ham AM guys chase down the FT 101's for amateur use. Perhaps he is being snide, or perhaps he thinks it is funny. Who knows? What I do know is that I have read his reviews, and he seems to get very good reports for repairing the FT 101 series of transceivers, and giving free advice.

An old ham I know was having an issue with his old 101. Just for the hell of it, I had him message him thru ebay. Jeff diagnosed his problem and sold him the parts he needed, all at a reasonable price.
