Can someone put this thread in a nutshell for me?
Don't give me that, you read it all. :baiting:

 

Oh, and stop picking on Cal. (tsk)

 

I think one is permitted to comment on the humorous nature of this thread. meh

 

Although for certain reasons that should be clear to everyone by now, it wouldn't be fair to push him too hard.

I wasn't addressing you personally, Captain Red Pants, once removed. :angel:

The point about "gaining and losing" is not as clear cut as it should be. With fees at 10-20%, the cost of doing business is significant. The eBay practice of using the final selling price to compute fee percentages (and leaving out the shipping/handling costs) is incentive to try to move as much cost of doing business as possbile to the handling chanrge to reduce fees.

 

No reputable seller should be trying to make money on the shipping and handling...period...

 

Sellers know the fees involved with eBay before listing. If they're not willing to abide with those without shifting costs to the buyer through inflated shipping and handling fees then they shouldn't be using the venue...

Yours is an interesting perspective for sure. Why would you force such high morals and constraints on eBay sellers when "regular" providers of goods and services are not held to nearly as high of a standard.

 

Let's take CGC for instance. The actual cost of mailing my books back from CGC far exceeds the amount I pay. Should I not do business with CGC?

 

Yes if it bothers you. They're wrong also. And save me they're doing it so it's alright argument. A little integrity goes along way...

 

Jim

 

This is where I feel like a complete hypocrite. I hate overcharging and profiteering from shipping costs and I won't return buy from people who've grossly overcharged.

 

But where the else can I get my books CGC graded? At least with buying on the open market you have a choice where and who to buy from. Don't like the shipping charges? Don't buy from there.

 

CGC are the monopoly on what they do so you have no choice in the matter. That makes them worse in my opinion.

Perfectly all right, my dear Watson.

 

Although it would appear (judging from all the bumped birthday threads on page one) that Cal has wrought his revenge.....

Wow. I and several others left some constructive criticism for Cal as a seller. I come back from lunch to read this? I would have totally been on Cal's side if he heeded or at least considered some of the constructive comments, but I come back to nothing but self-righteous insults from a seller who seems to have a serious persecution complex...

 

...It's pretty entertaining! :popcorn:

 

I disagree with your assessment of "constructive criticism".

 

CAL gotta go

 

I know in a previous thread that you appreciated receiving constructive criticism on your selling techniques. I know this isn't that thread, but your selling practices were brought up anyway. If suggesting that buyers tend to shy away from higher-than-normal shipping and itemizing said shipping could rectify this isn't constructive, please enlighten men as to what kind of constructive criticism to which you positively respond.

 

 

Why are you wasting your time on this clown? He's been doing this stuff for years. Don't feed his need for attention.

 

But definitely do post more funny pictures and robot-CAL comics. Those are the only things that made this thread worth reading! :cloud9:

 

FFB made great coin off his ASM # 122 CGC NM+ 9.6. Then stopped positing for a while. Now he is back, with his adversarial post, and this is not the first time he is swiping at me. I let the first time go but will start tracking him now.

 

FFB is another one that needs somewhere else to go. He is not suited for this Forum. he made "The List". I waited a few days to see if things could somehow get reversed with FFB but as I keep repeating over and over like the broken record people are what they are - they CANNOT change.

 

FFB is supposed to be this JD but sure does not act like one.

 

maybe he is bitter - take a look at his pic!!!

 

CAL doh!

The point is, Nik tried to weasel his way out on the now-locked Thread.

 

Nik has been outed for the troll he turned out to be.

 

Trolls don't use facts to stir up trouble.

 

I expected you to defend him or wnyone that opposes me in any way, minor or not.

 

CAL still swinging
