I implore you, please lock this thread and throw the key away in the deepest darkest hole, I think we are all united in that at least.

Well, if you got those by buying them in heaploads when available, only to resell them later with profit when the stores are sold out, I wouldnt bother calling you a capitalist, I'd call you an asshole and exploiter, no need to bring in fancy -isms.


I'd call him fortunate and hope he resells at a reasonable price so I can have one. For me, the name calling would be waaaay out of line unless it was proven his buying and selling were done deceitfully.


Exactly, that was what I was pointing out.  Personally I'd rather give the money to the people who actually _produce_ the equipment, than to some opportunistic assholes who jump in and take products as hostages, demanding ransom for their release, so to speak.

tone007, doctorq, ZeBeeDee, and whoever else it may concern:

The funniest thing is, if you guys were not on this cheerleader-like crusade to paint Redromola as some kind of martyr over this issue, you might actually see that the essence of what myself and others (such as ffstrack, Save2600, etc) were actually saying was in favour of YOUR right to choose exactly what YOU, as a seller, wanted to charge for your items - without the fear of having some cretin rear his ugly little head in the middle of your FS thread questioning your prices.


Again someone magically can see into other peoples head...

I have never tried "to paint Redromola as some kind of martyr over this issue" as you state, and I have never done the opposite. I have only stated that I won't sell on the forum, and I have given my reason for not doing so. Clearly I'm not alone on my point of view.

As someone else besides me has experienced, things get ugly pretty quickly, if the price doesn't suit all of the members. Look up some of the FS threads that has been in the past.

There is no doubt in my mind that if a sought after item (accelerator, graphics card, etc) is put for sale here for a higher price than you usually see, you will see the first couple of users jump in saying it is overpriced, linking to auction with a similar item for a different price. Why bother turning it into something ugly like it has been here, when you can avoid it all together?? You already know my answer.

-EDIT-

By the way; I won't mind to see this thread die as well, so my post should not be seen as blowing to the fire. Just wanted to iron out some of the misunderstandings some people had or may have.

Hardly - if that was the meat of the situation (a flippant comment made quite OBVIOUSLY after a sale was made) - and the subsequent comments made right after be 'it' it would be a non issue.

The subsequent pages of comments after the fact, after the argument as well - a litany of unrelated comments on the guys character, his (non existant) actions on other sites, his mindset as a moderator.. its all there - you wrote it, go back and read it... had very little to do with (and was pretty much AFTER) your initial tiff.

Little late to cry 'unfair'... but here, you can borrow my hammer if you like - that last nail can be a {bleep} to get in by yourself.

@Sig999

In fairness, on one small point there, confirmation that the card was spoken for from the seller (post #10) did not come until after Red made his comment (post #5).

In November 2008 I bought daughterboards for 3000 and 4000 from redrumloa on ebay.
These have as of today's date never arrived.

Have left negative feedback on redrumloa's profile on ebay.

It would appear so. And I'm still "patiently" awaiting my 2060 btw :-)
The Euro is dropping weekly. $30 difference between then and now  :roll:

@ ideal:

Jim(redrumloa) was/is a reputable seller that way. Perhaps it got lost in the mail? Was it not insured? I know our Federal Post Office does not allow insurance on certain things sent overseas. The availability of insurance also depends on how fast they're sent. A crock and another obvious way to get more money out of us, but it is what it is.

Just read the whole thread! My goodness, what a 2-men-show by save2600 and arkanoid :knuddel: ! And you both still don't wanna stop. Normal, as long as other's follow your opinion or take it because of not having an own one.

In Germany we call things like this here Kindergarten :lol:

Really...calm down and stop this ridiculous reproaches.

@ Springbok:

 What are you rambling about? There is no more ill will going on (my end) here. Re-read my post. And the last few for that matter. I was defending Jim's ability to successfully dispatch his goods was all.

Well, it would appear to me that his ability to dispatch goods is severely lacking, as I have not received anything three months later.

Gosh... It's shocking actually how many people either have extremely low comprehension skills or just "didn't get it"... (even after reading the whole thread!).

@Ideal:

You should try contacting Redrumloa directly through eBay to solve the problem you're having.

Let's move along folks.
