We're still on this huh?
How many of these scumbags in my shirt time here have apologized directly to the people they've wrongdoing, publicly apologized and voluntarily taken several months away?
Solarcadet is In the HOS and gets off on having a sales thread. All I'm saying is - the kid pulled some absolutely schmucky moves without tact.
(1) I think his biggest transgression is he shilled on his own auctions, right? He admitted it. If he does it again, he has learned nothing and I'll be there with you. But you know that there has to have been people on here that do it and are just not caught.
(2) Backing out on buying a NM98 by claiming you have no money, then buying an AF15, getting caught, and then honoring the first deal are signs of a schmuck or id iot. I don't see anything really sinister going on. Just never do business with him again. I'm sure most here won't.
(3) Selling a book,, having someone take it and then doubling the price IS concerning. But Kevin forgave him and decided he's not going to do business with him ever again.
(4) And his "buy my stuff, I need rent" or "I got mugged, help!" is absolutely I don't get that either and it isn't that rare around here with people selling books.
In all of my - I'm just not giving up on hope that someone can learn a lesson. This kid wants to be here. Remember, my only experience here is the last year. I did go through the history of the HOS/PL and saw somewhat similar discussions being talked about years ago so forgive me if similar things have taken place before I got here. But from what I see with Symbiotic and his actions and the reactions to him being called out - I'm just hoping maybe he learned something and can be a valuable member. I've never bought anything or sold anything to him and I don't have much money for cool books these days. I just HOPE everyone could sit back and watch and try to give the kid a chance. Don't sell to him or don't buy from him if you don't like his practices, but don't burn those that do. If they come running back screaming for help - they made that choice, no? He's not on any list yet so constantly talking about it isn't doing anything other than running in circles.
No.
