Perhaps the eBay transgressions could be placed in a seperate thread. Used mainly for "warning" purposes. I've seen a few "warnings" over in general concerning eBay sellers, but once they make it down the list, no one sees them.

Good lawyers will tell you to avoid court at all costs if you can work it out. Good lawyers

If its big enough to get a lawyer... I'd go ahead and sue for costs.

I agree. Seconded Thirded-ed

Got to chime in here, fellas. First off... Sharon stating K.I.S.S. = Pov... you are awesome. Your statements are well thought out and easy to understand. Also a great guy and definatly no "stick in the mud". Mikenyc88, Snake & RMA all bringing up valid points this week. Rupp is in awe of all the big words being thrown about. Had to use the dictionary three or four times with this crowd this week ...oh and I, of course, blame Green for all the derails I personally appreciate how everyone is trying to streamline these rules and modify them for the greater good. But... I'm going to have to say that a 14 day rule just isn't enough time. After one of the Clooneythons, I have many, many packages to pack. Anyone who has bought from me knows that while my packing isn't pretty, it's usually well done. The drawback is that it takes time to do this... especially when there are many to pack. CGC books require bubble wrap and excess paper... other books need to packed sturdy and taped in place etc. I'm usually rushing trying to find the right size box or cut cardboard. I'm still packing stuff from two weeks ago right now. So the 14 day rule would have already lapsed for me... and I would be on the '" list. This just isn't enough time when you are running a "one man show". Combine that with trying to work a full time job, get ready for school to start, keep Mrs. Rupp at bay plus whatever else life throws at you... then one has to realize that 30 days is the better option. I ship media to keep the BUYER'S costs down and charge a max $5 ship fee. This in turn gets people to buy more. As most of the Shatlover's (kinda like Claymates) can tell you... even with media mail... shipping can get close to $20 for long boxes to be shipped and I usually eat that extra cost (which is fine, since I sold more). The only point to my love of Media mail in relation to this thread is that as Snake stated, media mail can extend that shipping time-frame out considerably. Usually my shipping gets out quick, but with the CGC X-men sale and a few personal issues this week... I'm extremely happy with the time frame being 30 days. Please... lets at least keep that aspect of our little community, the same

Bullets and speeding trains I say

If I point out that he didn't make ANY points aside from those that criticize and denigrate me, would I have accurately interpreted your implication...? (thumbs u Let me rephrase... " ...a lot of good points from everyone here. " Fair enough. Whew! ... barely dodged that speeding bullet & oncoming train

I was 11 around '91 when the Cross Color phase began. I would throw on some Das Fx and my purple jeans and rock that out! It was pretty horrific. :: I was 11 as well. I remember Cross Colors, I also remember people wearing their jeans backwards because the daddy mack did, in fact, make us jump, jump. I'm sure we all went through our Oakland Raiders hoodie wearin', KRS-1 & Tribe Called Quest days with The Cactus Album by 3rd Bass thrown in for some lyrical white-rap, wisdom checkin', yo yo. Now... stop yakin' and get back to the more important, pressing matters of the probation discussion board. A lot of good points being passed about here today.

No one, at any time, suggested, implied, or even hinted that forgiveness has anything whatsoever...in any conceivable way, by any possible measure...to do with anything you've just stated. In fact...if you bother to actually comprehend what is written, you will notice that complete accountability and restitution is required before even a consideration of forgiveness would be given. Forgiveness has absolutely nothing....let me repeat that....nothing...to do with concepts like "there is no wrong answer", "everyone is equal", "there should be no losers." I sure hope you don't ever need forgiveness for anything in life. I know it's difficult to comprehend but every post on these boards is not about you. The pious soap box that you preach upon does not behoove you. (thumbs u From saving Paypal Personal to removing the Sword of Damacles hanging above the head of a troubled boy on the HOS, you have the uncanny ability of being obnoxious. Before calling my comprehension skills into question, chiggity check yourself. Yes you made a post that took the conversation in a different direction but every comment made thereafter does not require a response from you. I was referring to the post that Comix made about placing some responsibility on a minor and making the completely logical connection that many, but not all, minors who act out in a criminal manor continue that behavior into adulthood. My response, not to you, was that the behaviors instilled in children nowadays seems to foster a sense of entitlement that I believe adds to the occurrence of negative actions which are compleyely self fulfilling to the detriment of others. I apologize for not quoting your comment and responding directly but I felt Comix did a superb job, which is why I was responding to his post. My goodness Mike A serious post??? No mention of monkeys in cowboy costumes, mekrab, or inappropriate uses for Batman's utility belt. I stand in complete and utter Seriously though, you make an excellent point above about the evolution/entrenchment of such behavioral patterns " chiggity check yourself " Whilst young Mikenyc88 may not be as versed in the cool tune-age of the mid 80's... I can see by the above that the late 80's - early 90's gangsta might be his forte. I'm sure he owns multiple AK's... probably purchased from Detroit Mike A damn fine genre of music I might add. Oh...and a lot of good points here, sir.

Any DCs would only irritate matters. That goes double for romance. A good DC-'in might do you some good Green.

Aww we love to hate each other... Green just feels that by bringing it up, it will make him 51% righter. Again Green, victory of the poll... is yours. Enjoy sitting on top of the poll.

You would definatly know the "tone" sir. You perfected it. Snotty and self righteous? Really? No I'm not that guy sir. I kind of thought I was the guy who had an average 6000 views in each of the 6 big sales I've put on. With a lot of happy people who take the time to enjoy them. I'm the guy that bust his arse to have a great time... and help the people who stop by, to have some fun while spending their hard earned cash. One thing you forgot about comic books sir... they and everything about them are supposed to be fun. I don't think you can find anyone else who particpates in my threads thinking I'm snotty and self righteous. Hmmm.... I wonder how many fun loving people stopped by the "House of Green" for your last sale? I appreciate your pity sir... matter o' fact I love it. I definatly know the guy who bought those books right out from under you... pitys you.

I feel you reading this right now Green.... stings don't it... ouch

Oh no Green... you didn't just write this did you? I kinda thought we were getting along. Just to prove to you that I could care less about jumping right back in this with you, then lets roll... Remember the case... -You refused to place the sign in the threads as asked. You said you were sick and wanted to lay down... boo hoo... but not sick enough to haggle prices in two other threads tho. - The only rule of the thread which was... " trumps any and all PM's" - Your "few hours" was really about 15 minutes where the other party stepped in and snagged your "great deal". I really wish you would quit stating I "took" this win from you to make more money. I think the people that have dealt with me, know that by stating that, you are full of . It was only about $2 more than you were paying factoring in all the other items you, more or less, demanded to have from other threads. Again if you think $2 whole dollars was a landslide of cash, then you didn't need to be buying funny books anyway. - You started a poll (at my request) which sets at 41% "Not a sale", 59% "Was a sale". A total of 51 whole people chimmed in for your victory on the poll. You had about 12 votes to my one right off the bat. Why? Because you didn't mention when you started the poll and showed the PM screen shot of where I said "sold"... was that the only rule of the thread was " beats any and all PM's". All people saw was I said "sold". Then 15 minutes later, someone else threw up a in the sales thread... thus "trumping" your PM. A whopping 51 people voted... which is about how many participated in the Frag up Some Lyrics Competiton: Mellencamp Edition in the last Clooneython thread. This wasn't a landslide decision for you Green... not by a longshot. I don't care how many of your buddies read it the way you read it. If you are dealing in a PM and " trumps a PM", you lose. FYI I've been dealing with those same buddies of yours for the last 7 months and haven't had a problem with a single one of them. Either via them buying off me or me buying off them. You weren't denied this lot because I sold it to someone else... you lost it due to the fact you didn't post the in the thread. I even PM'd you back when you said you weren't going to post them! No Green, It wasn't that I did "not" sell you that lot... you refused to buy it by not doing what I, the seller, asked you to do. I gave you the oppurtunity to buy, I asked you to post 's and you refused. You lost. Don't forget I let you out of another $100 win because you didn't want to deal with me because of your hurt feelings. I didn't have to do that either sir... I kinda wish I'd have left you on the hook for that one. It would have been like pulling teeth for you to pay for it I'm sure. Maybe its time to just realize what really happend Green... you screwed yourself on that one sir. Just as a reminder for you sir... and since obviously there isn't enough above.... :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit: :takeit:

Just ordered "Hobo with a Shotgun" on Blu-ray from Amazon along with the killer radial tire movie "Rubber". I hope to drive my wife nuts with these two fine films.

That was the most entertaining Thanksgiving of my life

Guidelines only work if everyone follows them sir. Some members think at 30 days that "times up"... tack 'em on the list. Others follow their instincts and give buyers however long they need. You probably couldn't get anyone to agree on a set plan. ... but what do I know...I've been called petty and had my thread bashed by a good ole' boy this weekend.
