  1. Did BTTT start on Tim & Eric, or was it an original [adult swim] show? I also love it.
  2. That's troubling. QC is in need of major overhaul/retraining IMO. Management needs to handle this.
  3. I accomplished the goal of bringing light to unethical practices - regardless of whatever term we'd use to describe said practice. That's what matters. Backtracking a single instance doesn't corroborate innocence, either. < This isn't aimed at you.
  4. Intent vs outcome. It's the same argument as "equality of opportunity vs equal outcome". He's intentionally shilling. Whether it works or not is another argument. Do you disagree on the ethics of the situation?
  5. Shilling goes both ways. For both raising and lowering prices. It's ambiguous. Look at it from the perspective of a seller. Do you think it's ethical for an uninterested party to send you low-ball offers to influence your prices? Edit: Also think about it based on intent and not outcome.
  6. Swindler, yes. Honesty is always the best policy. Edit: He also "gambles" on Moderns for "investment".
  7. The dictionary disagrees with you, sir: "an accomplice of a hawker, gambler, or swindler who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others."
  8. Educated buyers purchase the book and not the label. The "detached cover" note does not hurt the value for me - at all.
  9. Earth's Mightiest Box Set was $300 at IST at release. I'll snag this anywhere between $250-325. I'm gonna pass on the X-Men set. I love the other 6, but that one just doesn't interest me right now.
  10. Tough to say. A 7.0, maybe? I don't think it's worth encapsulating.
  11. Nah, it just died for a month. It was locked for a couple days in early August. Unlocked upon Gabe's request to the mods.
  12. Do you have a single piece of evidence to support this asinine accusation? You don't. You're wrong. Stop being antagonistic.
  13. It's both confusing and disappointing to me (both ignoring me and being a Phish fan). It's immature IMO to ignore me on someone else's behalf. One would think Buzz and I would get along well. Whatever. He's free to do as he pleases. He's the one (occasionally) missing out on all these great posts...
