We should open a probation list for threadkrappers.

That certainly was out of line.

Pooper Scooper list?

 

Has a certain ring to it.

Pooper Scooper list?

 

Am I hearing a nomination for the Hall of Lame then?

 

That comment really was off-putting...ask if a book is pressed or PM...but that post went well beyond the line of appropriateness in my opinion.

What did I miss?

PM sent!

I remarked that a slabbed comic being offered for sale had been graded previously two units lower. Just some ugly truth. Indeed, it was restrained considering the proportion of offerings for which the remark held. And has held in the past from this seller. There's plenty of integrity on display in the marketplace - would just like to see even more of it.

 

As for threadcrappers, the list I'd join will be long indeed. Several have dropped in on my own sales threads and many others I've seen, and so I and many others can add dozens and dozens of members to your list.

Oh yes... the horrors of threadkrapping...

I like "threadkrapping" . It is almost always information that i would want to know as a potential buyer.

 

If you dont want to sell within a community with real time feedback, pay your fees and sell elsewhere.

[Snake Eyes]

I do not care for threadcrapping and my impression is that we reached a consensus as a community that the Marketplace threads are not the place for such.

 

For lack of better language (wordsmith I am not), there are polite ways to ask for the information you are referring to. In fact, asking in thread if the books are pressed or sending a PM would be examples of such. Then there are attention seeking, shaming, or lashing out ways to gather the same information. The comments made by Namisgr certainly had that feel to me

I don't mind threadcrapping if it is appropriate. Agreeing on what is appropriate is the rub.

I posted information, I wasn't seeking it. The issue is integrity in our marketplace. I've sent private messages to the seller in the past requesting that he consider being more upfront with information he has about his offerings, such as if they came from pedigree collections but are no longer noted as such on the label.

Absolutely true...and in fact I doubt we would ever have unanimty on that issue (or really anything ) I think I would instead be arguing for common courtesy...and in this case it appeared to be lacking. In fact, that ability to treat each other here by the golden rule (in my opinion) is why the Marketplace is a thriving palce. We can at least be civil I would hope...I would hate to see this place turn into Comics General

I guess we just do not see eye to eye on the place/way to do that. If what you say is true, I cannot argue that it should not be discussed...I think it is a worthy topic, but I think it sets bad precedent to post it in such a manner in sellers thread. It just hits the whole slippery slope argument to me and I think has the potential to turn the marketplace into a rather combatitive place. I would think instead to discuss those concerns in the discussion threads set aside for such :shrug:

You have a good point about keeping a good vibe in the marketplace. Unfortunately, most prospective buyers checking out sales threads are unlikely to find the discussion when it's in another thread.

So what was the point of your comment?

To make prospective buyers aware that not all the relevant history about the comics being offered by this seller was being made available. In the past, this has included not just grade changes, but purposefully 'lost' pedigree designations. That kind of selling lacks integrity.
