    General discussion thread - keep the other threads clean

    Phil already knew the rules and decided to list PGX books anyway. I voted yes for the change to the rules, but in the alternative why just not put Phil on the probation list or ban him from selling in the forum for a set period of time. (shrug)

     

    Whoa now. Phil is nice fellow and sells quality material. To immediatly push the probation threat on Phil is premature at best.

     

    As just witnessed about a month ago between POV and divad and the "Trey on the probation list - off the probation" list fiasco... whats going on here is to be handled by the Mods and was obviously settled upon with the Trey situation.

     

    As I've stated before, if the Mods find a problem with any listing or seller and they deem it necessary for action, then let them do their job.

     

    That said, have whatever ammendments made to whatever rules you find necessary to make each and every one of you sleep better at night.

     

    Just please don't try to fry a seller UNTIL ANY NEW RULE IS AMMENDED AND PUT IN PLACE by the powers that be. Until then, just push the little "notify mods" button and let them do what they deem fit.

     

    Phil really doesn't need the hassle right here at Christmas... does he?

    Why is GAcollectibles sales thread locked? Were there naughty bits removed?

     

    Why are there so many sales threads locked?

     

    My thread was marked as "Closed/All Sold" in the title so that may be why it was locked, that happens periodically and inconsistently over time. No worries from my end.

     

    Well, almost no worries. The inconsistent part is that there are plenty of threads that are marked "Closed" in the title that are NOT locked that ended well before mine(even by days). That and a few of my posts disappearing recently for unknown reasons(one possibly costing me Locked Thread Challenge Points :frustrated: ). I'm not a conspiracy theory guy but but I'm on the verge of thinking a mod has it out for me. :insane:

     

    It's always a conspiracy around here with some of these guys who have nothing better to do.

     

    It won't be long before you will be labeled the new "Waldo-Johnson" :grin:

    Wasn't Machine Gunned (sp) one of his IDs?http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4230988#Post4230988

     

     

     

    I need to keep a score sheet (not really, but it's hard to keep track;)

     

     

    No, that was someone else - I was one of the unfortunate ones that dealt with this particular douchenozzle and I'm 100% sure he wasn't a shill for ol' Musclefrankenshark.

     

    Correct. Machine Gunned posted a lot of cheap sets if I remember correctly... then wanted funds sent to two seperate paypal accounts (at least thats what he requested of me).

     

    Guy was a real piece of shee ... er work.

    So going forward, is the expectation if someone knows the full grading history of a book they will be expected to publish this in a sales thread?

     

    I had a book that was in a PGX 9.4 case, which then I broke out and submitted to CGC and it came back a 9.6 Universal. But then when I submitted it for signing at a show, it received a grade bump and ended up 9.8 SS.

     

    So should I publish all this history if I ever sell the book?

     

    A great point here.

     

    How long down the chronological sales track would this little tidbit be remembered? The only way detail like this could be kept alive is by notation on the CGC label.

     

    Perhaps then its CGC's responsibility to list previous grades given to a reslabed books, either up or down, on that label. Oh wait, that would mean they were wrong once. Or twice. :eek:

     

    Again... great point to make the brain-noggin turn, Nick.

    I like "threadkrapping" . It is almost always information that i would want to know as a potential buyer.

     

    If you dont want to sell within a community with real time feedback, pay your fees and sell elsewhere.

     

    90 or so seconds gnat... I swear you're in my dam house :o

    And just to add something to the discussion other than bull sheeet...

     

    I have dealt with Ken on two seperate occasions. Both were for big piles of books. They both got here and were as described. I think he's good people who just got a little behind.

     

    Give him a day or two to throw a delivery confirmation number up here for boostergold (who is also a super nice guy as well).

     

     

    Ruppy, this isn't a shot at you, and I know you mean well...and it's not even really a shot at kenm, because I'm sure HE means well, too...

     

    But...other than encouraging a buyer to perhaps be more patient (which could be done via PMs), what is the point of everyone and their dog who had a transaction with someone currently "under the microscope" have to do with ANYTHING?

     

    Buyer - "Seller hasn't shipped my stuff, and it's been over 2 months."

     

    Seller has failed.

     

    Others chime in "oh, MY transaction with this seller was wonderful!"

     

    Yeah?

     

    And....?

     

    So....?

     

    Is that supposed to magically make the buyer feel all warm and fuzzy and want to drop the whole thing, let the seller keep the money AND the product...? Does that somehow DIMINISH the buyer's BAD experience, that the seller has had multiple GOOD experiences with others?

     

    Can you imagine:

     

    Wal-Mart Customer: "Hi...you folks were supposed to deliver this item three weeks ago, and it hasn't arrived."

     

    Wal-Mart: "Sir, we've had MILLIONS of transactions with other people, and no one's ever had a complaint." (how many times have we heard THAT one...? The unspoken finish to that sentence is "so you shouldn't, either.")

     

    Other customers who overhear: "Yeah, we LOVE Wal-Mart! They've been great!"

     

    Wal-Mart Customer: " :eyeroll: ...so, can I expect my thing any time soon, or should I just drop the whole thing, considering what a stellar job you've done with everyone else?"

     

    It is :screwy: beyond belief, it does the person IN the situation no good (except PERHAPS to POSSIBLY give encouragement...because they certainly can't do anything else...and that can be done via PM), and, frankly, it's a slap in the face of the one making the complaint, intended or not.

     

    The fact that the seller has been WONDERFUL every previous time does not change one iota the fact that THIS time, they weren't. And to THIS customer, THIS time is the only one that matters.

     

    Well said RMA... and almost correct from start to finish.

     

    I just want THIS customer to know that I have dealt with THAT seller. And THAT seller did me right.

     

    I know this doesn't help THIS customer any other way other than to sooth whats going on with THAT seller in hopes to allieviate perhaps any anger THIS customer has toward THAT seller. I know both THIS & THAT... and I know both are nice guys.

     

    Ken says he's been sick. No work means no money. Maybe he spent the shipping charge on food for his kids. Don't know. I do know he offered a full refund a post or two back. That says a lot about Ken. Now if he doesn't get it to BG, then all hell can break loose here. I've got faith in him to make it good tho.

     

    Again RMA you are correct in almost your entire statement ...BUT I don't think standing up for a fellow boardie is a slap in the face of another boardie if you believe he will make good.

     

    Encouragement is a good thing... plus I want to believe in ALL the boardies... THIS one, THAT one and all THE OTHER ones... don't you? :grin:

     

    I would stand up for you in a second RMA... mainly because I like the fact that you would argue with a closed door about why it wasn't open (...and probably win too). :insane:

     

    I bet I'd be slapped silly for it by 20 different people within 9 minutes for standing up for you too. The closed door lovers would be breaking out the torches & gasoline from that mysterious internet garage they have all that stuff stored in :banana:
