Does that suffice?"

 

I just got his address via PM, the book will go out tomorrow.

[IntoAnother]

If this book gets shipped and it's not by media mail, I will consider this thread a disappointment.

 

...and after building a fire pit fit for the Gods.

[Hepcat]

Wait, wait, wait...

 

Suicide Squad 1 sells for more than $256?

 

Two questions.

 

1. Which Suicide Squad 1 comic? Rather than letting sleeping dogs lie, DC seems to keep relaunching this title every few years.

 

2. Why would any of these sell for even $25.60? Some movie hype again or is there perhaps a better grounded and more sustainable reason this time?

 

 

1. I'm guessing the first series from 1987, rather than the second series from 2001 or the third from 2011. It's not published by Marvel.

 

2. Upcoming movie, duh.

 

Oh groan. I'll file it with my other '"fool and his money are soon parted" clippings.

 

[TMNT]

The way I see it, mistakes were made. We've all made them before and will do so again. No need to continue to pile on but if you must, let "he who hasn't sinned cast the first stone."

 

If only all mistakes ended up with a good chunk going to charity. Looks like $1550 is going to WWP. How about we get that amount to an even 2k? I'm in for $150

[jcjames]

There is nothing to discuss. I donated, as I said I would. KPR said he would donate after I received the book. Next step is to ship me the book.

 

 

That works for me, I thought since KPR donated more, he might want the book.

 

I will ship out tomorrow.

 

Either way, either yourself or KPR will have the book shipped out tomorrow.PM me your shipping address, if KPR is fine with you getting the book, I'll ship it to you.

 

If KPR wants the book, I'll ship it to him.

 

Either way, it will be enroute to one of you two guys tomorrow, and KPR will donate $1000 after either he (or yourself) receives the book.

 

It would be nice if you let KPR got the book, as he said he is willing to donate such a large amount but I have no issue with you getting the book, either.You are doing a good thing here, as well.

Thanks. Don't want the book. Just do your job!

 

Which includes taking full credit for yours and shad's donation to WWP.

 

"I have RAISED $1550 for the Wounded Warrior Project."

 

 

[GLCBrad]

The players change, the circumstances change, the timeframe changes, but it makes me laugh every time a new person deservedly summons the pitchforks and torches. Every time they don't understand their misdeeds and they spend too much time with the same whackadoo defense that defies logic.

 

It's so cliche.

 

It's also so enthralling.

 

Carry on

[cloud cloddie]

this thread is ridiculous.

I just put a book up for sale if anybody wants to donate to charity with no strings.

Dear CAK, complete the original sale with the original ebay buyer and I will donate $1,000 to WWP.

 

 

I'm going to hold off paying in the hope CAK follows thru on this. 48 hours, and if he doesn't I will buy it because I'm a man of my word. Clock starts now. tick tock.

 

Alternate offer: accept Shadroch's original offer (he donates directly to WWP and CAK sends him the book) and I donate $1,000 to WWP.

That's incredibly generous of both of you.

 

+1

 

As moving as the offers are, remember this potential transaction involves trusting CAK.

Personally I think it's best everyone walks away from this book and gives to the WWP without the stigma of this attempted manipulation.

 

No matter how this is done, on GPA or off GPA it will be used for financial gain by CAK on the remaining books he owns in some way.

 

You say that as if it is a bad thing. America is a Capitalist society.Do you hate Capitalism? Do you hate America?

 

A new offer. Accept KPRs offer. Sell the book to the original guy at the original price, KPR donates $1000 to WWP and I'll commit to buying $600 from you off eBay. That way everyone wins.

 

So America supports lying and fraud to make a buck?

That's an interesting twist on capitalism.

 

Is that a trick question?

 

I never responded to the above specific comment which reads :

 

"No matter how this is done, on GPA or off GPA it will be used for financial gain by CAK on the remaining books he owns in some way."

 

Nonsense.

 

I am giving away 1 of the 3 cgc 9.8's that I own.

 

No financial gain for me there.

 

This transaction won't show up in GPA.

 

If I sold this cgc 9.8 to the original bidder via a relisting st $256, I would get 90% of that sale, minus eBay fees.

 

I am not doing that, so no financial gain to be had there, either.

 

I will list the other 2 cgc 9.8 news stands that I own at the GPA high of $550 , one at a time...and sit on them intil they sell.

 

Same applies to the cgc 9.6's, cgc 9.4's and the other cgc 9.0 that I have left.

 

I am not going to auction them off or put them up at cheap BIN's.I don't expect to get much for any of those books, bc they aren't 9.8's so really, not like I'll be raking in the dough there, either.

 

The second trailer for the movie will bring the book back to life, dunno by how much but I think it'll have a similiar effect as the first trailer did.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[greggy]

Make sure it goes out via media mail.

Yes, I made mistakes, I will readily admit to that.

 

This is the sort of post that I like to read.

 

Yeah, I agree that some good came out of my mistakes e. getting $1550 to the WWP via Shadroch and KPR.

 

And now $1700, with your $150 donation.

 

Thank you for the sentiment expressed and your donation.

 

[01TheDude]

I have not screwed anyone over

 

Yes you did, you screwed over the guy who originally won your auction!

 

.....and in the process of opening up myself to smearing of my name/losing customers etc, as I very well KNEW would be the llikely outcome of my initial starting post in this PUBLIC THREAD, I have RAISED $1550 for the Wounded Warrior Project.

 

Oh, so the ends justify the means. Not a surprise, coming from you.

 

First off, is it within board rules that a new user ID is allowed, just for the purpose of slandering another member?

 

What is your CGC forum user handle and why have you not posted these questions under your usual handle?

 

 

 

 

The original buyer had sketchy feedback, so before he paid, I opened a transaction cancellatuonon request.He ignored my request and paid after I opened the request so I immediately refunded his payment and contacted eBay customer service.

 

I am not going to roll the dice and hope I don't get screwed.

 

As I said, he got an immediate refund.Done and done.

 

You have every right to cancel a sale. Despite eBay's claims to the contrary, you are the owner of the item, and you reserve the right to not sell to whomever you choose, if you can reasonably show that there is unjustifiable risk in completing the transaction (such as someone you previously blocked buying under another account.)

 

However...

 

When you choose to use eBay, you also accept their terms of use. Part of those terms of use is that buyers who are not satisfied with a transaction can leave negative/neutral feedback expressing their dissatisfaction, provided they have done their part by paying for the item.

 

Your buyer did that.

 

You then manipulated the eBay system by calling them and convincing them to remove that feedback, in direct violation of eBay's own policy.

 

Now...because eBay does this, I don't pass judgment about whether or not that manipulation was ethical or not. eBay is as corrupt as it gets, and if some low-level drone can be convinced, against their own policies, more power to you.

 

However...

 

Continuing to use the excuse of "I didn't want to risk getting screwed" is a charade. A single negative feedback, among hundreds of positives, and for which you have no further evidence of wrong doing, isn't justification, as you well know, but won't fess up to.

 

 

Are you going to address any of this, CAK?

 

Jesus H Christ, man.

 

How much do you want of my time and energy, and can be expected, to be devoted to this thread?

 

Are you expecting me to say I am a scumbag?

 

I never said I was perfect.

 

eBay sided in my favor.

 

I sent the buyer a cancellation request.

 

He paid anyway.

 

I refunded him within minutes.

 

I am tired of all of this, to be honest.

 

But I am happy that the WWP will be receiving $1550.

 

That said:

 

Shadroch, PM me your shipping address.

 

I will ship the book to you tomorrow.

 

If you want to give it to KPR, that'd be cool.

 

If you want to sell it and donate 100% of the sale to charity, even cooler.

 

Or keep it for yourself.I am also fine with that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quit responding - don't respond to my post - don't respond to anything. You painted yourself into a corner and now you are trying to talk your way out and it keeps getting worse. A bunch of money got donated to a good cause so feel the good holiday cheer and now it's time to change your name and icon and come back in a couple months a new man.

 

he can change his name and his picture but will be easily identified the first time he throws up his typical wall of text reply to anything.

 

"INTIL" then-- we wait.

You tried to pull a fast one and nobody supported it. So? Change your tune and try to look the good guy. My only fear is that you will get better at this.

[Jeffro.]

CAK needs to ship the book now. KPR will keep his word and donate once Shad gets the book. That should be the end of it. I really am surprised at the actions of CAK, but doing this, and making it this simple will go a long way at repairing his damaged reputation.

 

Get caught with your hand in the cookie jar and then hatch a plan for damage control.

 

Yeah, rep repair begun

Jesus H Christ, man.

 

How much do you want of my time and energy, and can be expected, to be devoted to this thread?

 

Are you expecting me to say I am a scumbag?

 

No, though, in reality, we're all scumbags. But no, I'm not expecting you to say you're a scumbag, and you're overdramatizing your response to garner sympathy.

 

Feeling sorry for yourself, and hoping others feel sorry for you, is not the answer. I know this from very hard, very difficult personal experience.

 

I never said I was perfect.

 

There's only One Who is.

 

None of us are.

 

eBay sided in my favor.

 

I sent the buyer a cancellation request.

 

He paid anyway.

 

I refunded him within minutes.

 

 

So, now address my points. eBay siding with you (actually, a low-level feedback drone sided with you, and in the process, violated eBay policy) does not justify the action taken.

 

You didn't have the right to send the buyer a cancellation request.

 

The buyer had every right to "pay anyway."

 

Whether you refunded him or not is of no consequence to the point: you robbed that buyer of the feedback he had the right to leave.

 

What I expect you to say is this: "ok, yes, I got angry that my book didn't sell for what I thought it should have" (hey...I just sold a ONE OF ONE 9.8 signed by Jim Lee for $79...to a person whose $200 offer I had turned down a couple months before...I know intimately what it's like.)

 

I expect you to say "yes, I screwed the buyer over. I recognize that, and I won't do it again, and I won't drag that buyer's name through the mud, pretending that one negative feedback is, on any level, justification for doing what I did. I'm sorry for trying to blame the buyer, as if they were in any way guilty of "taking advantage of me" because I did a 3-day listing in late December."

 

I expect you to say "I've learned a lesson from this, and I won't do it again. I either won't list items for auction, or I'll accept the consequences, good or bad, if I do."

 

Mostly, though, it would be nice if you dropped the charade and just admitted that the whole reason for all of this is because you just didn't like the sale price. The philosophical gymnastics you've done in this thread would win you a gold.

 

Either that, or I expect you to stop responding, as 1Cool said, altogether. No one's forcing you to spend time and energy. You're choosing to do so.

 

Again: what's the eBay user name of this buyer?

Oh, so the ends justify the means. Not a surprise, coming from you.

 

First off, is it within board rules that a new user ID is allowed, just for the purpose of slandering another member?

 

Of course not, how dense are you? And slander is spoken, libel is written.

 

What is your CGC forum user handle and why have you not posted these questions under your usual handle?

 

Haven't had one since 2005.

[MrBedrock]

Why would anyone want to help this strategy succeed, in any way?

 

If the only way someone can make money, and stay in business, is by attempting to artificially inflate the value of [product] they hold... perhaps they should look for a new line of work.

 

As should most of corporate America...the oil companies, the insurance companies, CopperAgeKids. All of those guys make up the grand cabal of greed that the Illuminati have been assembling to eventually rule the world.
