RMA has spoken and he shook his head no! Begone pest!

RMA has spoken and he shook his head no! Begone pest! Rma has spoken? Seriously? I'm going to assume you're kidding.

Supergirl #1 (1996) ?? The very same. Is the print run of this similar to Hulk 377 (3rd print?)

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hypocrisy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situational_ethics Why is that hypocritical?

(emphasis obviously added.) Despite the fact that it has been discussed to death on these boards, despite the fact that Paypal makes it very clear when you actually send money, despite the fact that this board has a stated policy saying sellers cannot ask for personal payments for merchandise, people STILL insist on doing it. And PLEASE don't try to play word games and say "well, the seller can't ask, but the buyer can offer!" If you do...you're just ASKING for someone to rip you off. And what buyers trying to "help" sellers don't understand is that sending personal for merchandise makes a seller risk his/her ability to receive personal payments for what they are actually FOR. I CANNOT tell you how many times I've wanted to send CAWs and other "official witness like types" money for this or that sig opportunity, only to find out that they FOOLISHLY took personal payments for merchandise, and LOST the ability....and now I can't send them money for signing fees, CGC grading fees, and all sorts of stuff which ISN'T FOR THEM, without them paying fees. Then they don't WANT to pay fees (and rightly so), and so *I* have to either cover the fees, or send them the money some other more inconvenient way. All of which could have been avoided had they just lived by the damn rules in the first place. And buyers who send personal....? Do you just not understand that it's the same thing as sending CASH? Would you send CASH to a total stranger? But yet you have the audacity to complain about it when a seller walks off, or looks like they might walk off, with your money....? You have NO recourse whatsoever if you send personal payment for merchandise, and the seller just walks off with your money. NONE. And you will be laughed at by Paypal, when they say "excuse me...but why did you send a PERSONAL payment for merchandise to someone you don't know?" I'm sure you're a nice guy, Kong...but this is a lesson you needed to learn, and maybe this will prevent you from making an even worse mistake like this in the future, and perhaps keep other members from making the same mistake. You should be grateful that it wasn't worse. A grown person, with knowledge of how the internet works, sending the equivalent of CASH to someone you don't know, despite all sorts of measures to prevent just such a thing from happening? And you're offended enough to call someone a "jack hole" because they posted an ANONYMOUS not aimed directly at you ...? You should be offended at yourself and your own foolishness instead (and it looks like you are. Kudos!) Finally...Paypal provides a SERVICE. They have a LEGAL RIGHT to charge for that service. Just because there is a "way around" paying for that service does NOT mean that, in full contravention of their terms, it's ok to STEAL from them by not paying the fee they charge for that service. If you don't like Paypal's fees: DON'T USE THEIR SERVICE. Please...explain to me why we have a "Probation List" to go after "naughty boardies", but COMPLETELY turn a blind eye to ACTUAL THEFT from Paypal? Right. Paypal's a big, horrid corporation, their fees aren't "fair", and they "deserve" whatever people can get away with. Hypocrisy at it's FINEST. ----> "I guess it's just money moving if the CAW isn't charging you anything over and above what could be considered "moving money" for their out of pocket costs" <----- (thumbs u (thumbs u (thumbs u (thumbs u

Shhh...it's like in the movies when the kid is traumatized and doesn't speak for years and then, suddenly and at the perfect moment, SPEAKS and the audience is in tears.

I agree. No One is laughing at you about PP Personal. You sure? Like I said: "No One" is laughing at you. I am continually amazed at the level of bitter hatred that exists on these boards. It is pure poison, but it most damages the one who engages in it. Carry on. Hatred? PS: laughing at someone who may have lost $1200+ is immature, totally classless and rather vile. +1

I agree. No One is laughing at you about PP Personal. You sure? yes Keep them blinders on. (thumbs u Don't you sass me young man! In this case, Lebowski is correct.

Seller has a book for sale here. I send a PM to seller saying "I'd like to offer $X shipped." (which is about as straightforward an "I am willing to buy it for that price" as I can get.) Seller declines. A week later (earlier "today"), seller sends me a PM saying they'd accept my offer, if I was still interested, and if not, he/she is going to list it on the boards (at my offer price.) That PM was sent at 5:21 PM my time. At 10.51 PM my time, before I had the chance to check the boards (I'm out of town), seller sends....5 1/2 hours later...another PM saying "the book has been listed again for sale on the boards." I'm not going to out the seller, but he/she is a noob here, and I hope he/she reads this. If you offer something to someone...give them the chance to consider it, before rescinding that offer/making it available to everyone, ESPECIALLY if they haven't even read your message yet. Otherwise...just don't make the offer in the first place. If you do, give them a chance to respond. eBay allows 48 hours for Best Offers. I think that's a perfectly acceptable time period. 5 1/2 hours ain't it. Especially when the buyer isn't even in town.

What Dice hears...

WHOA!!! When did you start talking again?!? Welcome back! A lesser person would point out how childish and pathetic it was to initiate that ridiculous "protest" of not talking until the ignore function was fixed to his liking. That same person might also point out how hilarious/pathetic it is that RMA just gave up his protest instead of sticking to his "word". I wont do that though (thumbs u http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=4&Number=5235479&Searchpage=1&Main=240395&Words=puke+sufunk&topic=0&Search=true#Post5235479
