Wait, what books does Satan have?

 

Son of Satan? :shrug:

Always a mistake. Heartfelt no doubt of the misunderstood.... but a tactical mistake.

 

Sure, but if you don't at least post *something*, a few nitwits will start creating a legend that they "chased you off".

You'd be surprised. Old Scratch speculates in moderns.

 

I bet he's got like fifty copies of Chew #1

Have you checked the number one position on the board registry? It's easy to see the books listed

Bye, Bye...

Let me guess. When you come close to getting into a fight at a bar and the other fellow finally leaves, you strongly yell out afterwards, "Lucky he left or I would have shown him what-for!"

I've said it before and I'll say it again...if Satan had a sweet run of books, there'd be Paypal payments flying into hell right now.

 

True words.

Sad to say but very true, and boardies would be tripping over each other to be first.

Boozad,

 

I was just reading the mound city thread, and felt you were in the right. I also thought it was a stand up thing, in regards to speaking up for, "etanick".

 

I actually was going to reply in that thread, but couldn't, as I tried, I discovered it was locked.

 

I feel that the poster ID, Mound City, saying it's up to the owner was a bit B.S. And for them not to respond or refund Nick doesn't seem right. In regards to banning him, that seems sophomoric to me, very defensive, as the poster ID Mound City tried to ban you as well, hence when they requested you to PM them you contact info.

 

I do think it's nice they offered refunds, but it looks like it was the many, "complaints" that prodded such actions. I mean they were incompetent to rely on some gun for hire-shipper, to charge crazy prices and pass it on to the buyer. BAsically giving the third party free reign to charge whatever the hell they want with ones billing info. It does seem they learned from it though....although it's up to the buyer to let them know?

 

Yes, if it wasn't for folk like you, the corrections might not have been made.

I think you should stay.

 

I endorse this post. (thumbs u

 

Although perhaps a little too emotional about it, Gav wasn't wrong to take a stand.

 

The fact is that Mound City only attempted to put right what was clearly wrong (and there was a lot that was wrong from day 1) in the face of public outcry. That they are only now putting things right is not deserving of the outpouring of gratitude that has been seen. They created this balls-up and should be expected to do what they have now...finally...gotten around to doing. A brief 'thanks' would maybe be more appropriate for the circumstances?

 

As for their treatment of etanick, they have no excuse and their current smart-arse attitude...adopted, I'm sure, because they're 'giving' you all something...is not how I would approach customer service.

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again...if Satan had a sweet run of books, there'd be Paypal payments flying into hell right now.

 

again,

 

 

 

while it's nice that Boozad felt as though he needed to keep reminding MC how he felt about them and their practise in this whole event, considering he didn't have any stake in the matter kind of made it a bit off-putting to me, which is why i asked him to back off.

 

at some point, there is a difference between a company that doesn't move as fast as we'd like correcting a problem and a company / person who sets out to defraud. did MC screw up the post-auction process? absolutely. did they take longer than some would like to fix it? perhaps. did they do the right thing at the end of the day? i think so, at least in my case they did.

 

i see MC as a small, family-owned company that got in way over their head on a significant comic auction. they had an unfortunate response to an e-mail in the face of a personal tragedy. okay.

 

all this "i can't stay around and participate in a community that allows this sort of behaviour to go on unpunished and so i will take your leave with a FDQ exit on par with anything joe_c has ever tried before" is so melodramatic to me. maybe i'm combining my distaste for public pronouncement of intention to leave here with the MC thread, but hey, none of us is perfect, despite what we'd like the rest of the board to believe

 

Marc, in all honesty I think both you and Gav over-reacted. It happens. No biggie.

 

That Gav has decided to leave is, I feel, as much a product of his current circumstances as anything else, but I know what you mean about the 'right, that's it, I'm off' stuff. Generally it's laughable, but I believe that if he were in a different place, it wouldn't have gone down as it did.

Do one, you irritating little arse-wipe.

I've spent over a year on these boards, and I've been glad of every day. I've learned a hell of a lot, and of that I'm extremely grateful to all who've passed on their knowledge.

 

But I'm a huge stickler for fairness and good customer service. I treat my customers with the utmost respect, as many who've bought from me will attest to. I've refunded when requested, I've split shipping, I've thrown in freebies etc etc...

But never have I emailed buyers with expletives thrown in because they thought they were hard done to. No, I'm not a huge fish in the sea, but I do sell to people. The last batch of sales being the unfortunate circumstance of a death in the family.

 

I'm not looking for sympathy, this is just how business is handled in my eyes. But the Mound City auction really opened my eyes. When a disgusting email response was posted, the thread got pulled. So obviously, as so many peoples' reactions show, this kind of customer treatment is fair game.

 

Well that's not the community I found this place to be, and so I can't be any further part of it. It makes the probation list and Hall of Shame a joke. Yet the people who champion those threads will defend Mound City. Roy had dinner with them, so they must be all good.

 

It looks like I'm in the minority when it comes to customer satisfaction, so I'm going to leave the boards. Don't get me wrong, I'm not tarring everybody with the same brush here, far from it, there are some amazing people around here who I will keep in touch with. But I've a sour taste in my mouth over all of this, so I think it best I leave all concerned to MCA wins and refunds, those who actually got them, and pretend everything is OK in the world.

 

For those I have ongoing deals with, you have my email address, all will be concluded (thumbs u

 

 

Everything being said this is such a sad day.....

...but hey, none of us is perfect...

It's "none of us are perfect." Us is plural, not singular. No wonder Boozad left in disgust. It makes me sick.

 

thanks. basic grammar screwups are so embarrassing. luckily, we've got you here. you're the board equivalent of superman or something

 

Superman? or Luthor?

 

search the web: "None of us is perfect. The verb takes the singular. Because "none" means "not one". You wouldn't say: "Not one of us are perfect."

[TFL-migration]

Bye, Bye...

Let me guess. When you come close to getting into a fight at a bar and the other fellow finally leaves, you strongly yell out afterwards, "Lucky he left or I would have shown him what-for!"

 

Why don't you go read something other than comics. Something more appropriate.

 

 

Actually, the opposite is very true. I'll go at it{whatever IT is} anytime. No on likes to fight.. But I will never, ever back down from a fight either. Be it in printed or physical forms. I'm 6ft.3 and go around 270 - 280 lbs. If I loose so be it. If I win that's all good too...

 

It's no surprise that I am not saddened by Boozad leaving this message board. We've gone at it a few times on here. But it's his decision, no one else can make it for him...

How does one go about PM'ing this Satan person?

 

btw Sze, your MMC 3 is looking mighty nice with all that tape off.

[Aman619]

but, nowadays, who knows? anything goes. Grarmmer aint what it used to be, with supreme authorities ruling right from wrong...as only the elites ever took pen to paper. We are all increasingly writing what sounds correct, which is basically just repeating what we've heard, which, if wrong, solidifies the errors.... as language evolves.

[Designer Toast]

If you go to a party and there's one person in the room who doesn't like you or you don't like, do you concentrate on that person or do you enjoy all the other people at the party?

 

I kick his azz and then enjoy the party.

 

 

Gav,

 

Best of luck to you my friend, and hopefully we'll see you again soon. Best of luck to you.
