Good thing you got lots of money to buy new cell phones.

 

Only one and it's an investment.

 

Ya you've tried to justify it so you can "respond quicker to ebayers". Seeing as how you need wifi you won't be responding while working will you? If so why are you responding during work and not working? If not do you think it makes much difference if you respond at say 5pm when you get home from work and check your emails and once at 11pm when you go to bed?

 

How many questions/responses in a month do you get on ebay? Seeing how you haven't sold anything since Oct 22nd I don't think response time is your issue. You can continue to try and justify the spending though

 

No I won't carry it to work with me but there are about five of six apps that you can sell only by using their mobile versions because I've tried otherwise and it didn't work.

 

Which "apps"

 

Ebay, Letgo, Instagram, XE currency converter, Kitco, Offer up,

 

short of IG the only reason you can't use the other ones is cause your trying to justify using a phone.

I don't try to justify anything but I tried to sell things and that would only happen if I have the apps.

Gabe are you still at your parents house or did you move out? I thought you had an end of month timeline. .

 

If we all mutually agree to ignore this thread, will it go away?

 

I'll start.

 

I would hazard a guess that he is still at his parents place as he has been busy posting about the "end of the world" and sharing other not so nice things on his Facebook Page. About 8 posts in the last 24 hours.

 

...I think Gabe is starting to go "down the rabbit hole" on top of his "other issues".

 

 

 

Yes I'm still at my parents and the "not so nice things" are the truth of what's going to happen whether you believe it or not.

 

.. would you mind posting a link to your Facebook Page?

 

It's incredibly disturbing and I wish everyone would read it before offering him any advice. Everyone should really evaluate whether they want to help this person. His page is filled with hate, conspiracy theories, and all around vile things.

 

Juxtaposed with posts condemning others about how to be 'responsible' and/or 'live right' in which he can't see the irony in and "cutesy" My Little Pony and Anime .

 

I think there is more than just "learning issues" at play, even more so now than before. There was an "uptick" in religious stuff around Christmas too, hence my "rabbit hole" comment...

 

Gabe, you told me you had a counselor before...Have you discussed any of your "views" with her, motivation/job issues and/or what went on with your parents just before the holidays?

I see nothing with My little pony but if you see the reason why I posted about the pagan holidays you'll know why.

Gabe are you still at your parents house or did you move out? I thought you had an end of month timeline. .

 

I'm still here but like I said they changed their minds when they needed money and I said that I'm firm with my beliefs and either you agree or kick me out.

 

If they're landlords then the money you're paying them for rent doesn't go entirely to them does it? I would assume the majority of it goes to the property owner, unless your parents own the property, and your parents would get some money knocked off their monthly rent. Also, if you are a tenant, since you're paying rent for an apartment, can they kick you out or do they have to evict you?

I have no idea but my parents have a rent to own deal so I'm not sure how it works.

So you needed government assistance while living with your parents to pay them rent?

 

Sorry if I haven't kept up

 

Yes because they charged me rent no matter what and if I didn't pay they would kick me out.

 

Well, to my understanding, you cannot claim to the government that you need money for rent if you are living with relatives....in fact, the government encourages you get assistance from family, before taking advantage of government services.

 

Just my understanding, I haven't actually had to get welfare, although people seem to think that on themselves.

 

I don't know the situation but this was a month before when my own money was running low and I have my own separate apartment.

 

You have your own separate apartment and you're paying your parents for this apartment?

 

They are my landlords and there are three apartments and I live in one of them and pay rent.

 

Everyone should really give that statement a really hard look and take some time to think about it.

 

No kidding. His parents have no money but have 3 apartments? He moved out, but lives in his parents' apartment?

No see my previous post

Truth is a hard pill to swallow but if you have a problem bring it to me instead of making threats about what you'll do.

No because you want to use it for the wrong reasons with the fact that you disagree what I support and think I'm unstable. I have a learning disability nothing more.

I've just walked into this disaster of a thread...

 

Dude if you stil want to sell a million dollar comic, you need to hit reboot.

 

You need to step away and evaluate your life. HARD!

 

Nobody else.

 

You need to get off this pitty train, eat some humble pie, apologise to your parents and go back to living with them.

 

You're going to get rid of your debt and you're going to learn from your mistakes.

 

See what others do.

 

They buy keys and resale.

 

Get a job and after all your debt is paid start saving. Little amounts here and there.

 

Buy a key. Sell for a profit. Use the money to buy another key. Rinse and repeat, but for the love of god stop roaming for attention and do something.

 

Best,

 

Bruno

I'm already living with them for one month and like I said I'm standing firm with my beliefs.

And he'll probably stay on the road to failure indefinitely. Why would he change, when there is almost always someone, be it his parents or the taxpayers of Canada to subsidize his chosen lifestyle. By his own admission, he doesn't take anything seriously unless his back is to the wall. He admits that he's not interested in looking for another job, or even getting more hours at the job that he has. As someone else said, his actions speak far more loudly than anything he says. I find it ironic that he feels so good about selling 9 comics for a dollar each that he wants everyone to know about it, when working just one more hour a week at his job would have brought him more money.

I am happy about selling my comics because that's what this thread is for but if I had any job update it would be posted as well.

You have your own separate apartment and you're paying your parents for this apartment?

 

By "apartment" I think he means "bedroom" or maybe his parents have a "rental unit" in their home. Gabe, your OW worker knew you were/are residing in your parents home though right?

Yes.

He hasn't actually ripped anyone off yet, or anyone here....

 

Best thing to do is just point people to this thread if they want to buy a book he is selling. They can make their own judgements whether or not to deal with him. Personally, I wouldn't go anywhere near

 

I have no intention of ripping people off.

 

Generally, people don't. I am totally sure you believe that, but necessity brings out who people really are, as the discussion in the probation thread is revealing.

 

Keep your head above water, and best of luck to you

Thanks

Is his admission here enough to get him put in the hall of shame?

 

It honestly might be the best thing to happen to him if it is...

 

I understand the reasoning for the above sentiment and I too would like to see Gabe STOP "dealing" in collectibles and get his personal life sorted out and focus on the really important things but I doubt that will happen any time soon, whether it be due learning disability/mental health issue, laziness or whatever.

 

I don't know if or how he could be nominated to the HOS and it is probably not an appropriate option at this point. To my knowledge, the only person he has hurt is himself and he hasn't actually ripped anyone off. All he said was that he could have stolen (but didn't) and that he inappropriately used some social assistance money, which he is on a repayment plan and it is being taken care of through an appropriate administrative process.

 

Based on his shaky financial status and other issues, is it possible that he could rip someone off or things could go off the rails in the future and have another "Chip" situation on our hands? Sure. However, I don't think we can put him on a list like that for an offence he has not actually committed. I also imagine that Gabe is on A LOT of personal "do not deal" with lists anyway...

 

 

Thanks and I don't know how many lists I'm on and the government is making sure they get their money.

 

 

Oh, I guarantee that you are on a LOT of lists, and the government always gets its money.

Annoyingly so but yes.

Just my understanding, I haven't actually had to get welfare, although people seem to think that on themselves.

 

My (limited) understanding of Ontario Works (OW) is that if a recipient is living at home with his/her parents they may not receive the "shelter" component of the allowance. However, there are exceptions, such as the recipient paying rent to his/her parents is a 'pre-condition' for a recipient to be able to stay at home. Again, I do not work for OW but just what I was able to read so I don't know if it is 100% factual...Regardless, the actual requirements and stipulations would have been established up by Gabe and his (former) case worker.

Yes before I got assistance my parents separated from me so that I can get assistance and I told my case worker that.

No matter the reasons or what you type here, your actions define who you really are. I would hazard a guess that most folks are already disappointed in your comic selling actions, but knowingly spending money that wasn't yours is just down right dishonest. New low for you.

 

Spending money that wasn't mine? Yes it wasn't mine and I tried more then once to give it back and they didn't want it and because of that I had to use the money because at that time I had no other choice if you want to consider it low then go right ahead.

 

When I told them what I did they didn't even care they just said they would work out a payment plan.

Are you seriously trying to justify spending money that doesn't belong to you? How could any perspective comic buyer possibly trust sending you money, or anyone trust sending you a consignment, knowing that if they are not happy with their purchase or you sell an item for them, you might get desperate enough, and spend their money on yourself and not be able to refund them or pay them? Please understand this is a rhetorical question. Your admitted actions have already answered this question for you. While I certainly have no right to judge you, your actions once again, speak louder than any words you might say.

I'll answer this for you. Yes I've spent the money that the government gave me and I already listed all the things I tried to do but you seemed to have missed that. I have received money from people multiple times and never spent it oh and guess what? I've had situations where I could have but didn't. Unlike others I don't hide nor glorify my mistakes I own up to them.

Good thing you got lots of money to buy new cell phones.
