I think it would be fun to show a properly blurred out screen shot to validate my integrity. It would make the accusers eat crow.

Did I miss where anyone has proof the seller did anything wrong?

 

Did someone PM and buy the book in 3 minutes? Maybe. Maybe not.

 

No one has any clue other than the seller and possible PM buyer. Everything else is speculation and hilariously embarrassing.

 

If the seller comes in this thread five minutes from now and says there was no PM buyer and he didn't want to sell it that low, oh well.

 

Trashing the thread, and the seller's reputation, on a supposition, regardless of what eventually comes out, is mind blowing and the epitome of self entitlement.

 

 

But it makes for some awesome chest thumping.

And just feed the mob for the next time.

 

And show the time stamp again... Takes about 40 seconds.

40 seconds he owes nobody. (thumbs u

Cool! I'd just have fun with it, that's all. Different strokes and all that.

It's the way the sales section has been leaning for quite some time.

That would be fun but I don't think the seller is obligated to show anything, unless of course there is a pattern of shady behavior or reaon to doubt them. In that case it's a different matter and in everyone's best interest.

Some things are insisted have transparency, and some are not.

At the risk of becoming a nuisance, how does the community set the bar for patterns of 'shady behavior' or 'reasons to doubt?' How do you know when it's appropriate to demandi someone to something in the best interest of everyone?

What the details are between a buyer and a seller is no one else's business. What's in the best interests of everyone is that it stays that way. A right to privacy is part of our constitution for a reason. GOD BLESS...

On this we agree! There should be no situation that would demand a buyer or seller disclose a sale. (thumbs u

Most people don't realize there's no express right to privacy in the Constitution.

 

We were a country for well over 100 years before court cases even hinted that there might be a right to be divined through cobbling pieces of the document together, but there's still nothing there that expressly gives us the right to privacy. It wasn't until the mid-60's that the supreme court came up with a way to say that married couples could use contraception in the privacy of their own home.

Thank you, as usual, for the history lesson, Chris! I'm always blown away by the things I just accepted as truth for decades. I just recently heard about the addition to the pledge of allegiance in the '50's.

Didn't mean to come off as pedantic, but whenever privacy comes up it takes me back to the shock I had in law school learning how few privacy rights we have, how recently we got them, and how there's so little in our most important documents speaking right to that topic.

 

It was a reflex when I saw that post.

[wombat]

I don't sell on here, but if I did I doubt I would be showing any PMs in that situation. If someone didn't want to believe me then I would be happy to be added to their personal list.

.... anytime you can enlighten me with some truth, I will never consider that pedantic. GOD BLESS....

I would say that if someone has reaaon to believe a seller is shady based on being caught red handed in some scenario (like shill bidding, lying, or misrepresentation) then you would have cause to doubt someone's word when they state a book was sold via PM. But to just outright distrust someone because they missed out on a deal is not really going to cut it. Innocent until proven guilty, right? Especially in a small hobby where reputation is everything.

 

And I think it bears repeating here that the proper way of dealing with a dispute (and this goes for any dispute) IMO is to ALWAYS approach the individual first and f no resolution can be found, THEN if that doesn't work, as a last resort, you make it public.

 

But just ripping someone a new one in public without approaching them privately first rarely mends things and in general, lots of chest thumping is the main result. Because most of us are dudes and don't like getting back into a corner.

 

Because testosterone.

The right to privacy is a topic that has been discussed in the WC from time to time, from a 'big brother / government POV.

 

Some people believe the right to privacy shouldn't exist, the reasoning being that if you aren't doing something wrong you have nothing to worry about. I tend to agree although I also worry about corruption and misuse of that information.

 

But as far a comics go, it's an emotional hobby. We've probably all been bent out of shape over a deal at one point or another. I know l have unfortunately.
