Quote from Red:
'Nope, you are exactly the type of person who would buy an item, get it in perfect condition at the price clearly listed, and then leave an anonymous poor star rating because you felt you paid too much. You've made it very clear what you think. I don't need customers like that, it harms my ability to do business.'
Red - that's total 100% BS. You do not know me and I would NEVER conduct myself that way to anyone - ever. You extrapolated something here that is totally out of line. It's sad you would lump me in with so many ePay {bleep}s these days. Same kind of stuff happens to me and I am not the kind of person to give someone a bad time there.
The reality of it is this... honestly, I've always thought of you as someone much like myself. Somewhat of a hobbyist that falls into things. Like to tinker, play around for a while and then resell with an MO that would allow me to further invest in whatever hobby. That's by and large, the main difference though and you've made that apparent. Me selling a few Amiga items here and there ain't gonna pay the bills. Nor would I ever devote that much time trying to get them to pay the bills. A lifestyle choice I guess. I watch your auctions and I've watched your posts from the late 90's to now. I know I've bought stuff from you before. These last couple of years though, I have witnessed a slightly different mentality. Not sure what the deal is (besides some of the obvious), but you're starting to show your true colours. Whatever the excuse is, whatever may be going on in your personal life. Fine. Whatever.
If you think it's appropriate to hijack someone's response in an unprofessional way - knowing full well many look to you for goods, then fine. Just don't be surprised if it starts happening to your posts. Most here respect you though. Enough at least, to let you and your fantastic prices be.
This thread has totally gotten out of hand. Can we just agree to disagree here? Sorry if you feel you're being picked on (probably hasn't happened in a while and you're uber defensive now) but I'm sure you're a big boy. Especially since you've got 9000 posts under your belt. Or are my calculations wrong? lol Sorry - couldn't resist.
Happy frickin' New Year Red! May you continue to be so prosperous selling Commie stuff in 2009. :-)
