so is pointing out the shilling in Symbiotic's marketplace post considered thread crapping?

 

I just hate the idea of someone using the boards to promote his ebay auction, which is being unethically shilled...

This is all a mute point now - he was already removed after you posted he gave you a refund.

So I offered the Germany guy $40 and he said no, he wants me to send him a replacement and he'll pay for shipping.

 

How did he know I'd have replacements of a Wonder Woman #1 CGC 9.8 SS Cliff Chaing?

 

hm

 

The $40 was a decent offer, again he should have pursued it through the ebay system in a timely manner. Asking for complete replacement at this time seems like a bit much.

 

Agreed. You made a good offer Alex. I would just move on.

Zombie, I'm just trying to understand the 33.30 you asked for as a refund. You paid 50 dollars on the first shipment and he spent 26. So $24 there. Then the second shipment you spent $39 and he told you it was $35+$4 for box and wrap right? So shouldn't you therefore get on the second amount the difference between $35 and what he paid ($29.70) which would be $5.30. The total refund therefore would be $29.30 which he gave you $30 for. I understand that you want him to remain on the list because of your issues with him but the PL isn't meant for that (your own personal Do Not Deal With list is for that :)) If he has satisfactorily made restitution then he should be removed from the list. I'm just trying to understand if you feel he has made satisfactory restitution.

 

The box was an used box from a comic store he had bought from, so he didn't have to pay for it. $4 for bubble wrap? I don't believe him, when I sell stuff I always have boxes and bubble wrap at home that came from other shippings, so I just re-use them without making the buyer pay for box and bubble wrap, and he probably does it too.

 

I just make the buyer pay for the shipping price. Also I asked for priority shipping for $39, he agreed, and then sent first class, lying once more on the shipping price.

 

He lied multiple times and behaved like a kid.

 

I think I should receive another $3,30. If I do receive that money I'll be satisfied, because I'll get back the amount he shouldn't have taken from me.

 

However, I won't suggest anybody to deal with him if he does get removed from the PL list.

 

I don't agree with this. Supplies are not cheap. Asking for another $3.30 sounds petty. You received a refund and should move on. Sorry if that's not what you want to hear.

 

Definitely petty.

 

Personal do not deal with list? Check.

And I'm not defending the guy's actions. I think its sad that it's come to this as the HOS should be reserved for the truly scummy guys; red rocks comes to mind.

 

And honestly when you think about it, maybe solarcadet1 shouldn't be in the HOS...but I digress.

 

So the guy isn't scummy because he doesn't dink around with expensive books, only cheap ones? What if he was selling an Action #1 but used a reprint as a stock photo?

 

And solarcadet1 definitely deserves his lumps.

 

If only HOS members could get banned so he wouldn't have to quote me and talk at me every time I make a post he's interested in. :wishluck:

 

+1

 

I do NOT understand why someone on the HOS is tolerated around here.

 

:eyeroll:

 

When we as a community put someone in the HoS, it's like we kicked them off the island in Survivor. Yet the producers have decided to just let them hang around. It's odd.

 

Solarcadet could just FIX THE PROBLEM, and get off the HOS. But he doesn't. He thumbs his nose at this entire community, and nothing happens.

 

Meanwhile...well...best not go down that road.

 

 

RMA,

 

I tried and did apologize and made right with the seller.

 

The mods own the island not the islanders...

 

I truly do not believe that you fully understand why your actions regarding a few things were more offensive than a monetary issue. When people try to question your behavior you thumb your nose in a way that basically says "FU" to people and that despite that I know that you are dealing through PM with people making transactions with international books. So until that is ever rectified, there are some of us that will never want to deal with you, myself included.

 

It's a forum not the dark side buzzetta...

 

I'm not doing any harm and if I was the mods would intervene. I don't sell international books for profit, I hunt them for fun for whoever wants one.

 

 

 

You told people your dad had cancer, only to admit you lied and then apologized and not long after started making fun of concentration camps. You're a tool with zero conscience.

 

Do your home work first...I directly copied that quote from Chespirito....

 

 

Mods were not offended so who in the forum pays you to police me???? No one lol

 

Hump the button all you want. Now let's all hold a moment of silence for my dear old gramps

 

 

 

mods are offended now solarcadet. A moment of silence for your departure :P .

I don't believe him, when I sell stuff I always have boxes and bubble wrap at home that came from other shippings, so I just re-use them without making the buyer pay for box and bubble wrap, and he probably does it too. Also, there wasn't much of it inside the package..

Really? Another $3.30 because you are GUESSING that he didn't have to buy bubble wrap??? Maybe he did, you have no idea. Looks like he made restitution to me.

 

He clearly sent me some used boxes he received before which surely contained bubble wrap. He also buys a lot from the boards, so I think my guessing is right. Also, as I said, the bubble wrap wasn't much. The packages were poor, especially the second and he almost surely lied when he told me about the $4, as he always lied about the shipping costs.

However, as I said, I don't feel like I received the total amount I should have been sent back, but I have no decisional power. If you feel to remove him from the PL list do it, if not I won't ask for removal.

 

This is all a mute point now - he was already removed after you posted he gave you a refund.

 

Just received the 3,30$ back. sslim66 admitted his errors and said he won't do it again. I can't totally believe him, but since he sells perfect books I won't say anything else. Now I feel satisfied, since I received the total refund of $33,30 I thought I should have been sent back. He can be removed from PL now if the rules say he has to be removed in case he sends the total refund I was requesting back.

 

Thanks a lot for your support.

 

Glad this worked out. Sometimes the probation list actually works.
