You're blowing it off? Oh, the humanity!

[HarveySwick]

I'm over it.

 

It just annoyed me. How hard can it be to follow a simple rule: if you list a book for sale here, it can't be listed anywhere else?

 

The Jimbo "CLOSED" thread is far more interesting.

[comix4fun]

Sellers place a series of differing prices goes on the target and buyers simply have to "hit" one.

 

 

 

 

We can make a game out of it.

 

FUN!

 

Here's my problem with this: Your proposed targets are too clear. I think it should be a Magic Eye moving target.

 

 

Stare at this correctly, and it's a dolphin. But imagine if it were a target. And moving. And had prices listed.

 

 

It's a SCHOONER!!!

 

[BarristerBaker]

so... I'll take it? Barrister you have me hypnotized...

 

Nice! And super-fast! But I've already given it to someone slower. Maybe.

I believe we have threadcrapped the living heck out of this one! But howling over here, if getting wildly off-track!

Richard you got talent in them hands

 

[TheLiamSturgess]

Why not ask the guy that threw out the ?

 

Excellent question. In fact, I did wind up locating another copy through my original supplier (a good buddy of mine on these very boards) and let MedicAR know his book was available if he wanted it.

 

His reply? "No thanks."

[HarveySwick]

[TheLiamSturgess]

Here's another one.

 

What the hell is going on in the sales forum these days?

 

 

I agree, though I know it wasn't anything but an honest mistake. How would you propose he make him "whole" when he doesn't have another copy of the book?

 

Logan, thanks for the note - I do want to again restate my position that I didn't intentionally break board rules or try to take advantage of anybody, though I do admit negligence. Though I understand it's frustrating when board rules are broken, I was caught off guard when both Harvey and MedicAR were so quick to jump down my throat in the thread itself as well as here.

 

It's nice to know that there are a few boardies who can see through the debris of my mistake and identify it as such (which was very kind of them), but I am sad to see where I stand with some others, especially when myself and a friend were able to come up with a simple and effective resolution after some back and forth.

 

If I've upset anyone, I apologize again. :shrug:

re: Jimbo_707 -Ugh - so guess we got dumped into this giant mess. That's a shame, very tough to focus on the issue at hand mixed into a zillion other conversations.

[HarveySwick]

Maybe it was just on top of everything else that I feel like I've been seeing lately.

 

I just don't get what's happening lately, but things seem much worse than a few years ago. There are seemingly more and more people that couldn't care less about their reputation or any semblance of community. They're all about #1 and making a few bucks.

 

Then again, I remember the cool books discussion a few years back so maybe it's been going on longer than I can remember (or know).

 

And I don't sell things often so when I do, I know where I have something listed for sale. It doesn't seem difficult to track so I guess I just didn't understand how it happened. But MedicAR apparently didn't care, so why should I?

There was only one

I've often wondered the same thing

I fully understand your point but I believe we are often too distracted nowadays. Not an excuse, but inversely it should serve us as a lesson (I know I try to be careful as you but could have happened).

You’re so "cool" that I do not know what to do of "cool books"

And now there's another excuse for him to not discuss why he reneged on a deal.

Gunsmoke is on

[Comcav]

Yeah rather annoying. Well, soon as the check is delivered (USPS showing not yet) I'll post here. But it does become very easy for him to now to just ignore everything.
