I guess this is the proper place to post this...Since everyone really doesn't know and seems to think they know.

 

When I first started my account, right away I purchased a few items, but one of the sellers (Comicgrinder) was nasty and mean with his responses, so I decided not to purchase anything from him or the other seller (foolkiller) then over time I realized this place isn't so bad and made a few purchases regardless of being on the probation list. I even went out of my way to e-mail the previous sellers and ask if I owned them anything in case of a loss. Never heard back from Comicgrinder and Foolkiller said to leave him alone. So there you haven't.

 

Oh and this Filter81, I just think this guy is bad news. Anyone who lists a comic for sale and doesn't want to tell you the grade, is shady in my opinion. Also never mentioned the book was trimmed, of course he tried to cover this up. Plus he buys a book on CL and 2 months later trys to sell it to board members for $600 above what he paid? I don't think we need sellers who are trying to take advantage of follow board members. Board members come here for great deals, not to insulted and over charged.

 

Well, that pretty much sums it up.

 

PS: I don't personally know anyone here and could be wrong in my analysis, after all this is the internet.

 

 

 

 

Perhaps you could tell us what motivated you to post this? First you state that you didn't complete transactions because one of the sellers was mean to you and then you throw a seller under the bus that you don't have a deal with.

Roy,

 

As much as I appreciate your concerns, we all have the right to do what we feel is right. I don't want to beat a dead horse, but feel there are several members who come to this site in search of a good deal and shouldn't be mislead.

 

 

 

 

This topic of making a profit has been discussed at length in other threads. You have a right to say whatever you feel is right, but I don't think it'll help your case regarding the probation thread.

 

:gossip: It’s been my experience that when someone doesn’t have integrity enough to honor their word in a transaction, they are also unlikely to have enough to know that they are being a punk by mud-slinging and bringing in others in to share the weight of their personal strife.

By "mislead" (it's "misled", btw) I'm assuming you mean "try to sell books here and have the buyer flake on them"? Because, yeah, that's kinda the purpose of the probation list - to warn members about the people who do this sort of thing (thumbs u

 

ahh, no...maybe trying to over charge for books. Trying to re-sell a book at 40% profit in less than 2 months is nutz. Anyway, I'm here to help the little guy and won't let you big bad wolves try to take advantage.

I've sold books on here for 20 times profit. Does that make me bad?

 

A seller is free to ask what they want and the buyer is free to do their research and pay what they feel is a fair price.

 

You need to stick to the topic at hand and that topic is not "making a profit".

 

It's your personal relationship with the community.

Please go forth and do just this in the sales threads on this board - all it takes is one more strike and you're gone :wishluck:

I hate this stupid argument about profits. A seller has a right to list a book at whatever he feels the market will bear and a buyer has the right to either buy it or not. Roy's not a crook for making money and neither is Adam. That's socialistic hogwash and has been done to death. A "fair" price is whatever the market will bear.

That's actually marxist hogwash, not socialist :baiting:

 

Anyway ... BucOne is just firing blanks right now - he thinks it's perfectly acceptable to not finish transactions he starts here on the boards, and we think it's perfectly acceptable that he then remains on the probation list in perpetuity. As far as I'm concerned, it's a win-win situation.

PS: I don't personally know anyone here and could be wrong in my analysis, after all this is the internet.

 

 

 

 

 

As Bucone (and probably just about everyone else on the boards) knows, I would not list a book without disclosing any type of restoration. The auction Bucone keeps referring to clearly listed the book as being extensively restored. It also clearly lists the book as being trimmed. Bucone knows this. The part that has me the most upset is that he knows he's lying and has been asked to stop. I don't know if this is all a game to him or if he really is as messed up in the head as he acts... I suspect its the former. I'm actually a little baffled that he would intentionally ruin a legitimate eBay auction of that magnitude and then continue to act the way he has. If I ever acted the way he had, I would be so embarrassed by my actions I'd never want the subject to be brought up again

 

All I know is that in less than a year on the boards he's been put on the probation list under 4 different names and has attempted to hijack multiple sales threads started by letigimate sellers. As far as my personal relationship with this kid goes, he's ruined eBay auctions of mine, attempted to hijack a sales thread of mine, and continually made comments attacking my integrity that he knows are untrue when he says them. Just curious if anyone on the boards happens to know at what point what he's doing become legally actionable... Because I'm tired of feeling like I have to defend myself against this insufficiently_thoughtful_person's comments in case someone happens to read them and doesn't know him and doesn't know me.

 

But just for fun... as far as the book I was "overcharing" for...

 

It was an ASM 129 CGC 9.6. Apparently Bucone is upset because I had the audacity to win the book in a public auction at an 18 month GPA low, only to relist the book a few months later with an asking price of exactly what the last 9.6 sold for and $8 higher than the 12 month GPA average.. Which apparently shows a lack of integrity on my part.. at least when compared to the integrity of someone like Bucone...

 

(Bucone it really is time now for you to pack up and leave these Forums.... you know you're going to get yourself banned sooner or later anyway..)

:screwy: I never placed a bid on your Batman #1 or did I win the auction, I heard it never sold to the winning bidder and that is probably why you are upset. I tried to find it in the advance search on Ebay, so that everyone could see for themselves that you added trimming a few days later, NOT in the original description plus you would never pin down a grade, just thought that was very odd.

 

Don't know you, so I don't have any reason to lie or make up a story. So, you are the one that is lying.

Don't know you, so I don't have any reason to lie or make up a story. So, you are the one that is lying.

 

 

Fortunately I can easily prove that you were the high bidder on the Bat 1 throughout almost the entire auction. I also have the listing text mentioning the extensive restoration and the trimming. And I saved several of our E-mails back and forth at the time. I guess the good thing about having the facts on my side is that they are all very easy to prove. But you go ahead and keep going with that nonsense..

 

Just out of curiosity, if I were to show right now that you did in fact bid on and ruin the auction, would you agree to close your account and leave the boards?

 

And by the way, you hijacked my sales thread and started multiple threads afterwards to tell people I was "ripping them off" by charging GPA for an ASM 129. ($100 less than another copy sold for a few days ago in the same grade) You ruined a very expensive eBay auction. And are going around saying things about me you know not to be true. These are not the actions of a normal human being. Clearly you do enjoy making up stories and do have an agenda... even if that agenda is something as simple as being the world's biggest dirtbag.

Yes, you finally disclosed restoration, but you originally did not, which was my point.

Sorry it wasn't me, now on the other hand my roommate may have been. Btw, how could

your auction be ruin by someone who didn't even win it? I think you need to be upset with

the person who won the auction and didn't pay, not someone who didn't win, regardless if

they had more than one bid. There are thousands of auctions with multiple bids, but only

one winner.

 

So maybe you should leave the boards.
