A loser on ebay
« on: June 06, 2014, 10:48:00 PM »
Don't bother doing business with customsg because he/she/it won't follow through with the deal.

Sold this person an Amiga software package for the princely sum of 99 cents.  They never paid, never responded to any emails, NOTHING!

Opened a case with ebay and, of course, all they did was send an email requesting I be paid.

If this person is on this board, are your such a LOSER you can't afford 99 cents?

Definitely a waste of time.

Just trying to let people know about a bad buyer.  Next time it might not be a paltry 99 cents.  Could be something more significant.

Not trying to hide a thing.

My ebay username is mcmccain.

As far as being a grouch.  Yeah, a bit.

However, I hate people who make a contract, even for a measly 99 cents, and refuse to honor it.

I got a pile of programs in a deal which I don't really want or need.  Just trying to recover my investment.  I've noticed if I slap a huge price on something, a lot of time it just doesn't sell.  Start low, and things tend to work better.  Eventually, I'll get my investment back, but when someone won't even honor a 99 cent contract...

I've actually discovered there are more than 2 type of Amigans.  

1. Love the machine and try to promote it.
2.  Love the machine but want to bash absolutely anything that isn't classic.
3.  Love the machine and want to help it evolve.
4.  Love the machine, but hate all other people and will bash anybody and everybody any chance they get.

I try to be in 1 and 3 groups.  Everybody is welcome to their opinion.

So Megamig, where do you fit in?

Those who are happy to buy anything Amiga-related such as the X1000 even if it is a overpriced piece of junk and those who complain about 99 cents. Sad but true!

BTW please reveal your eBay username so members can avoid such a grouch.
