Bio-Rupp

that's what it sounds like. If that is true, Surely not...

2 years

I actually think 2 months is extremely fair. There has to be a cutoff at some point. This is so true. Since you have been extremely lenient with the person in question, he/she should see no problem in your wanting to get to the finish line concerning this transaction. There has to be a cutoff point and it ultimatly should be your decision as the seller to determine that point. If you believe there is a problem with the book, you know its cheaper just to refund what the two of you decide as a fair middle ground... especially since out of country shipping costs are involved. If you have to refund return shipping (since I'm assuming you made a possible mistake in a grade) then its going to just cost you more. If you cut the break to where you can break even and the buyer can sell it for what he's got in it ( and be happy with keeping it) ... then everyone starts at ground zero with no loss, except time, for either side. Again, you have went above and beyond in taking a return after two months... hopefully your buyer will realize that.

Anytime sweetie *smooches* Package sent btw You sent me a package? .... connoisseur?

All depends on you and what you want to do. Previous transactions with the person should tell you if you want to continue to deal with them. It seems that the board has more or less "adopted" a 30 day time frame on everything unless stated otherwise. A buyer has 30 days to make payment on an item and then the seller has a 30 day time frame to ship... at least to avoid the threat of possible "probation". Is 30 days to long to wait for a return? Not sure, as I suppose it would depend on the situation. Does the board have a recommended return time in place at this time? I personally would want it back in less than 7 days after confirmation of receipt... and honestly no later than 2 weeks... which might be your time frame when dealing with international shipping. Seriously tho, no matter how you word your sale terms, someone will find fault with the sematics to make the situation favor them. At least thats how current experiences have been for Rupp.

Are you recommending yourself for the probation list, or the Hall of Shame? You should start a poll. Don't worry... someone will start one for you. Poll.... baaaaaad. Strange Tales 178... goooooooood

Just got two more books (a sweet Killing Joke 9.8 and a Man Who Laughs in the same grade) from Paul and they were awesome & packed with care as always. Paul always has more books that I want. I don't know if I make enough money to have Paul just a few typed, letters away... I can't afford knowing this guy mainly because I know if we kept in constant contact... I would probably lose my dog, car, house, and wife (listed in order of importance). Paul... you've ruined my life... and I thank you

Now that I've posted the above, MachineGunned will sign back up under a different name... we will have one good transaction... and then he will totally rip me off on the next one

As we all know, my sales methods and word sematics made for an interesting Thanksgiving last week. That said, I think I've got this worded to simplistic perfection My wording above that I've used in almost every sales thread, pretty much tells the buyer what he can or can't do and the choice he has in how he wants to pay. I would never want to force someone to use Paypal Personal mainly because I wouldn't want to be forced to use it if I didn't feel comfortable with it. I don't want to be forced to do anything (except post "take its" ) Over time when relationships are forged and friendships are made... then most won't have a problem using the Personal method. Sellers should look at losing that 3 - 4 % in the short run a simple cost of doing business. It's a small investment in future profits once your customer base realizes you are legit and they feel comfortable enough to use Paypal Personal. Usually once I deal with seller and all goes through without any hitches, I have no problem paying via Personal from then on out... I then feel I have a seller I can trust and he doesn't have to lose paypal fees because of that trust.

I've never seen more overgraded krap for sale in the forums then today . . . Links? Can't be my stuff... its all just underpriced krap. "One man's krap is not another man's krap... but it's still krap to the one man... you know the first guy." - George W. Bush 2003

Final night of CRAZY PRICE POINT SALE IS TONIGHT! Starts at 11PMEST. Clooney GOTSHU!

d

CRAZY PRICE POINT SALE day 3 starts up at 10:30 est tonight. More fun plus there is one PREVIOUS BUYER DEALS TO BE HAD right now... go check.

I hate you haven't got your copy Spirit. Tell you what buddy... I will throw my copy in with the new comics you snagged off of my New Comic Thread for you to read and enjoy at no cost. I read it, enjoyed it for what it was... and now its just taking up space. Once you read it, maybe you can pass it on to one of the other guys that didn't get their copy... maybe it will make its way back to me sometime in the future. Whatever Jay's issues are for not getting you (and the others) the copies that you all paid for, will hopefully be recitified soon.

This coming from the man who still has "I'll take a McRib combo with a large coke.." emblazoned in his tag line. I'm sorry you didn't stop in 8mile. It really was a good thread considering that it was a holiday. My offer of fun & slapstick still stands if you want to come by tonight around 10ish EST. Honestly, it won't bother me if you come by and thread all you want. You can even dust off the "Bio-Burp" if it makes you feel better. I welcome you sir... just try to have fun with it. Going to be putting up another Marvel Spotlight # 2 at a crazy insane price of $13.33. I would love it if you won one. Come on 8mile... chip baaad, fun...goooooooood!

I did receive my copy a few months back, so that would be two. Jay had some serious personal problems come up a while back I think. That said, its been long enough to rectify his situation with those who have bought books and haven't received them. Bosco is right Jay, you gotta step up buddy.

And Paul... you sir are the "go to" man for sweet GGA books! As well as a super nice guy! I can only hope to attain your greatness sir He has a good attitude? If so the why is he taking shots a Green in his sales thread? Bio is wrong on this matter 100% Here is Bio taking shots at Green ... and that's what Green said. 8mile I'm just having some fun, man. My whole new sales thread is built around how ridiculous this all has become over what boils down to the fact the man was too lazy to push a few keys on his keyboard. What I'm doing is no worse than you bashing me over the Thing stuff, is it? That chip is causing you to lash out sir. I gave Green as much of an apology as he deserved at your request eariler. If he wants to throw shots at me in his sales thread, I'm all for it. Why can't you just sit back and realize that even Green got in on the joke and was the 3rd or 4th post in my hokey sales thread in question. He knows I'm joshin and its all in good fun. You may not care to know this but 2 different people PM'd me after your little rant about working at McDonalds. One person had a kid working to go to school and the other worked there because that was all that was available. They didn't appreciate you belittling them and thanked the members of the board who thought what you were doing was in poor taste. Even sent coupons! How nice is that? Very nice sir! Is what I'm doing kinda immature and jabby.... sure it is. I'm just making light of a bad situation between me and the man. I'm not attacking his place of work, his family or his way of life. I had a great Teri Hatcher gag using Green and everybody had fun with it. My Indian rant... priceless! The one you quoted above... simple, yet effectivly humorous. You are one of a few people who jumped in this thread that want to light the torches, grab the pitchforks and run a monster all the way up the windmill just to tell him that you just don't like silly ole monsters. And you guys do it to every monster you come across. I'm not the monster you're looking for 8mile. If Green is mad, then I hope he puts on the "RuPp ScrewDed mY Brainz oUt wiT His Funky Englash" sales thread and gets laughs at my expense. He could do "RuPp ReadeRz for meaniE Nutzheadz" or even a "Bio BucKedeD Me inda TakEit AreeA". Its totally up to him and I'm all for it. Anything to get this torch bearing bunch to loosen up a little. I invited you to come and have some fun and you still got the chip. Lose the chip... practice putting out the sign like I know Green is... and just relax buddy. It's almost Christmas too.

Attention Clooney lovers! Rupp's CRAZY PRICE POINT SALE will be back up and running about 9:30pm est tonight ... might post one book a little earlier... ... or will I?

And Paul... you sir are the "go to" man for sweet GGA books! As well as a super nice guy! I can only hope to attain your greatness sir

If it were as easy as that sir... then wouldn't the vote be 100% Green, 0% Rupp? I made $30 minus shipping by selling to Kawfeadikt... I lost $130 by not selling to Green. I stand by the rules of my thread... so much so it cost me $100. Thats $100 that I need. I can't say anything more to prove my integrity to you. Drop the chip and come have some fun with us tonight sir... you are invited.

No sir I'm not going against the community... of what is now? 36 or 37 people? With a 60 / 40 split? Maybe I'm newer here and Green just has more friends than I do? Maybe the 16 or 17 votes I have are mostly from dog lovers who really think that I have a cute puppy. I would like to think they see my rule was in place and really think that Green should have just taken the 2 minutes it would have taken to post those signs and avoided all this. There are thousands of members here 8mile... get them to all vote and then tell me about the "voice" of the community. Had Green completed the transaction by doing what was asked of him... politely I might add... then he would have had them. It doesn't matter that I said "sold" to him. Our conversation was in a PM and first TRUMPS ANY & ALL PM'S. Sure you can disagree with that if you want. You can't disagree with the fact that we were talking in a PM, dealing in a PM and coming to terms in a PM. Unfortunatly for Green, first trumps all PM's 60% of people who voted think thats wrong and I respect their opinion. But since it's my sales thread and my rules... then my opinion in how I would have looked to Kawfeadikt by backing out of a deal he made with me (by following the # 1 rule of my thread) was more important than Green's feelings since he couldn't follow my posted and requested rules. Just beg to differ 8mile. Hope you take the time to put that chip off your shoulder towards me and my fast food loving friends and join us at about 10pm est when I start my Silver Age readers sale back up. I'd love to sell some to you... just please post the sign.

8mile I do appreciate your concern for Green and your immediate "fling" of the probation thread. Perhaps you care more for the rules of this board than you previously acted like you did in our last conversations. Remember when you were mocking people who worked blue collar jobs like at McDonalds? I think I read in a thread where you got "schooled" for making those comments and they came back to haunt you... something about your job at the post office? Can't remember right off... I'm sure someone does tho. I put the "1st take it trumps any & all PM's" rule in place to prevent this kind of thing happening. I asked Green to post the "take its"... he refused. He lost. I've got to address a few things... Those who say I need to maintain my thread more properly... all this occured over a 12 - 15 min time frame. In the minutes waiting for Green to answer me about why he wouldn't post the "take its" is when the other buyer came into play with his own "take it". Really no time to get there first... but I wouldn't of posted them for him anyway. Why? Because as the seller of MY merchandise, I personally WANT the buyer to place that "take it" sign as public proof of our transaction for everyone to see. Now I'm hearing I backed out of the deal to make more money. What was the difference between the Thread price and what I quoted them to you for with all the extras you demanded, Green? Something like $7 or so, not counting the 3 free $2 Hulks you wanted? So figuring those in... it's about $1 extra I made by selling to the person who could take the time to post "take it". Is $1 really an amount worthy enough to tear me away from a deal with Green... who had already spent $100 in another thread of mine? So let's just nip that assumption the "Bio got greedy" right here fellas. $1 won't hardly get 8mile to hand me 3 stamps at the post office, let alone make it worth losing a $100 sale over. It wouldn't matter if Jesus himself told Green to post those signs. I could tell by his attitude toward me from his first response about posting them... that it was beneath him to do so... and I also feel he was offended I even asked. Why I don't know. He has stated that he read my request immediatly and then went to lay down. Why? I as the seller of MY goods on MY thread with MY rules asked him to do this. He didn't do it. He lost. Since I am the seller and those were my rules, it really doesn't matter one way or the other how Green, or anyone else, interpretated it. Green has backed out of the deal we had and I let him do so. The $100 worth of items that he could have had and the other items that he could have secured with a "take it" sign are on their way to someone who didn't have a problem throwing up that little sign. 8mile all you have to do is cast your vote... X amount of people think I'm right and X amount of people think Green is right. No biggie unless you continue to add to it. If he feel shafted, then Green, I am sorry you feel that way bud... hate you lost out on a great deal due to what ever reason you had to not post those signs. No hard feelings on my end.

Pov... I thoroughly appreciate you for stating that. Please cast your vote concerning the situation back on page 486. And please if you get a chance, stop by my sales thread in the Gold/Silver section on Thurs night around 9pm or so after your Thanksgiving festivities and join us for what's going to be a fun time for all. Bring your best George Clooney quotes. I think I may have a contest/vote for best quote too. Have a Happy and safe Thanksgiving sir.

With an attitude like this, I'm sure you'll have no problem keeping a large percentage of us away from your sales threads. sigh.... Happy Thanksgiving Joe.

After the hard fought events of today I figured the only thing to bring spirits back up around here is to have another sales thread loaded with stuff. I'm going to start out with $ 3.69 readers again... then I might drop the bomb and throw in a $9.42 or a $19.69 book that will knock your socks off... well within reason These books are going to priced cheap and I love CRAZY PRICE POINTS. There should be no complaints about the stuff I'm going to put up... but who knows, some people can complain till they are "green" in the face. Let's just have some fun and realize my loss is your gain. Nothing is going over $20 in this thread. I will only apply a grade to the $9.42 or higher books. Anything else listed in the thread is considered a reader, even though it could be much better (rest assured some of the $3.69 books are going to be VF/NM), I just don't want to set around and grade things all night. Going to start up in the Gold/Silver section as about 9pm EST.
