uchiha101 Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Good thing you got lots of money to buy new cell phones. Only one and it's an investment. Ya you've tried to justify it so you can "respond quicker to ebayers". Seeing as how you need wifi you won't be responding while working will you? If so why are you responding during work and not working? If not do you think it makes much difference if you respond at say 5pm when you get home from work and check your emails and once at 11pm when you go to bed? How many questions/responses in a month do you get on ebay? Seeing how you haven't sold anything since Oct 22nd I don't think response time is your issue. You can continue to try and justify the spending though No I won't carry it to work with me but there are about five of six apps that you can sell only by using their mobile versions because I've tried otherwise and it didn't work.

uchiha101 Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Is his admission here enough to get him put in the hall of shame? It honestly might be the best thing to happen to him if it is... I understand the reasoning for the above sentiment and I too would like to see Gabe STOP "dealing" in collectibles and get his personal life sorted out and focus on the really important things but I doubt that will happen any time soon, whether it be due learning disability/mental health issue, laziness or whatever. I don't know if or how he could be nominated to the HOS and it is probably not an appropriate option at this point. To my knowledge, the only person he has hurt is himself and he hasn't actually ripped anyone off. All he said was that he could have stolen (but didn't) and that he inappropriately used some social assistance money, which he is on a repayment plan and it is being taken care of through an appropriate administrative process. Based on his shaky financial status and other issues, is it possible that he could rip someone off or things could go off the rails in the future and have another "Chip" situation on our hands? Sure. However, I don't think we can put him on a list like that for an offence he has not actually committed. I also imagine that Gabe is on A LOT of personal "do not deal" with lists anyway... Thanks and I don't know how many lists I'm on and the government is making sure they get their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uchiha101 Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 He hasn't actually ripped anyone off yet, or anyone here.... Best thing to do is just point people to this thread if they want to buy a book he is selling. They can make their own judgements whether or not to deal with him. Personally, I wouldn't go anywhere near I have no intention of ripping people off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semicentennial Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 So you needed government assistance while living with your parents to pay them rent? Sorry if I haven't kept up Yes because they charged me rent no matter what and if I didn't pay they would kick me out. Well, to my understanding, you cannot claim to the government that you need money for rent if you are living with relatives....in fact, the government encourages you get assistance from family, before taking advantage of government services. Just my understanding, I haven't actually had to get welfare, although people seem to think that on themselves. I don't know the situation but this was a month before when my own money was running low and I have my own separate apartment. You have your own separate apartment and you're paying your parents for this apartment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have your own separate apartment and you're paying your parents for this apartment? By "apartment" I think he means "bedroom" or maybe his parents have a "rental unit" in their home. Gabe, your OW worker knew you were/are residing in your parents home though right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have been on a road to failure for many...many miles now. And he'll probably stay on the road to failure indefinitely. Why would he change, when there is almost always someone, be it his parents or the taxpayers of Canada to subsidize his chosen lifestyle. By his own admission, he doesn't take anything seriously unless his back is to the wall. He admits that he's not interested in looking for another job, or even getting more hours at the job that he has. As someone else said, his actions speak far more loudly than anything he says. I find it ironic that he feels so good about selling 9 comics for a dollar each that he wants everyone to know about it, when working just one more hour a week at his job would have brought him more money.

chrisco37 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 To be fair to Gabe, we've been telling him to blow his stuff out. Get what he can at this point. Not really fair to then clobber him for his "cost vs sale". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we all mutually agree to ignore this thread, will it go away? I'll start. I would hazard a guess that he is still at his parents place as he has been busy posting about the "end of the world" and sharing other not so nice things on his Facebook Page. About 8 posts in the last 24 hours. ...I think Gabe is starting to go "down the rabbit hole" on top of his "other issues". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
