  1. Start a pile if you don't mind.
  2. Picked this up last night, for about 60% of what I thought I would have to pay: Another round of great bargains on the CLink; shocking that it has been this way for a while now with those auctions.
  3. Picked these guys up last night, just lacking one from the McFarlane run for a 9.6/9.8 collection. These are hard as hell to find in decent shape it seems. Glad to have them.
  4. Why is there not a barristers thread in the general forum? How do I get copies of the transcripts from the inevitable depos in this case? Talk about a good weekend read.
  5. Bet someone a buck that this matter will be bound by arbitration if it heads to the courthouse.
  6. That Hulk 377 3rd print cgc 9.8 on th bay this evening...wow.
  7. Then, later in the day: I did not reply to either message. Notice the subtle, implied threat: "if you make me pay for the item, and you send the item, I will return it, and you will be out the postage, too." Today, received payment. I refunded, Paypal takes 30 cent non-negotiable transaction fee, and eBay takes the 30 listing fee, and refuses to protect me from either negative feedback or being stolen from. The corruptness of eBay never, ever ceases to amaze me. I recommend blocking dragonjab Why didn't you just cancel to begin with and move on? What point did you end up proving there? That people should honor their commitments...? I know, crazy! I didn't cancel because the buyer made a commitment to buy the item, and he/she was asking to be let out of that commitment with no cost. I wasn't about to do that, and would have filed a NPB case if it came to that. It did not. Have fun jousting your windmills I do, and will. And if Dragonjab loses the opportunity to buy from a few people because of his/her game-playing...maybe he/she will think about it before doing it to someone else. That's obviously a very large "maybe", but who knows? You think that's "jousting a windmill"..? Sure, no problem. Knock yourself out. What's your eBay user id? Don't worry about it; you and I will never do business, on ebay, on here, anywhere. And take a breath and let the Force flow through you; this is how it starts and then you get bounced out of here. Again.

  10. You should watch some children's networks. I think it would make you change your mind on this. Most thoughtful post in this thread.
  11. Separate and distinct from the issue of whether you the boardie should have PMed the seller or said it in the thread, at least for me, anytime someone puts GPA data in a sales thread, or cites it, or really relies on it for anything, I go to GPA and see it and research it for myself. Thats just due dilligence and being an informed buyer. Anyone that doesnt do that in the first place should probably start regardless of their position on whether or not you should PM or post in the thread about this stuff.
  12. Thanks to all, I really appreciate the insight and thought. Not an easy issue to deal with, but thanks for the good ideas.
  13. Thinking about getting my first sales thread going. Can anyone offer some advice as to how to craft a sales thread to make it known to certain boardies that they are not welcome to participate in it? It's three different boardies; I have had really one really bad experience with each, never done business with them again, and notice a pattern with each one on here that would sort of demonstrate to me that I don't want any future dealings with them. They are, however, folks that do alot of buying and selling on here. People tend to state in their sales threads that they "reserve the right to not deal with anyone on their personal mess list," but is there another way short of PMing them before the thread gets going to say they are not welcome? I am not trying to be a jerk, not trying to start drama, just trying to avoid a krapped up sales thread before it starts. Appreciate the advice.
  14. That was fast! I don't know what the final sales price was, but congrats to Topnotchman. $2250
  15. I would have ignored the information about the ebay auction. Its irrelevant to the sale between you and your buyer. Now if you had received that information prior to the sale being consumated (an offer and an acceptance), then it s a different story, and frankly, thats just smart shopping. But its easy to see what happened, your buyer is looking for a book, agrees to buy yours, and then finds the same book cheaper, and just wants a reprieve on paying too much, too soon. That happens to us as buyers all the time, you look and look and look, and the right after you find it, you find it even cheaper, but there is no reason you should have canceled the transaction as a seller because of that.
  16. Scare other cons into buying them out? Are you really suggesting this is WW's business model going forward?
