Thread: Calling out a member

  1. Talk about "beating a dead horse"....wow...this is like the Alpo factory!!



    I suppose that it can all be simplified: Dont like a person's auction descriptions? Dont care for their wording nor their methodology? Think that they are the son of Satan and that their belly button sticks out too far? Here's my EASY cure-all: DONT buy from/deal with them - finito!

    Of COURSE he is going to carefully choose his wording as to increase sales, the guy is a businessman for pete's sake! Do I PERSONALLY feel that he is some kind of 'slick willy' hocking designer handbags at the 7-11, or some sort of sleazy Jawa, HELL no. Advertising is an essential part of the free-market system friends...dont believe me? ask: Taco Bell, Sears, McDonalds, Bath and Body Works, Google, Porn producers, Mattel, Dairy Queen, P.F. Changs, Toys R Us, Target, .................They ALL do the same:

    Taco Dump - "Try our hot and hearty combo meal for the kids - with a tasty burrito, sides, and a fruit drink!" Now in English: Feed your kid this processed possum roll along with some plastic potatoes, synthetic 'cheese', and a cup of corn syrup water.

    Big Evil Toy Co. - "Our new line of DELUXE Superhero figures, hand-crafted and tested, sculpted to exacting detail using the latest in cutting-edge technology - For the 'adult collector', numbered collectors series!" In English: Be thankful that you are even able to OBTAIN said figures, and be GRACIOUS that they are far overpriced, brittle, often sloppily painted, and arrive to you essentially BROKEN in their packages!

    But anyway, dont let me furthur interrupt - have at it kiddies!! TOYS = FUN - - I just cannot imagine CARING about another's practices, especially ones that do ZERO harm to ANYone, to me thats like needing to know what goes on in your neighboor's bedroom life...meh.....have better things to focus my energies on...


    Take care -

    Which is why China repro parts deserve to be in a higher category.
    When I .... how do you say (?) .... think of my mindframe on this spaceplane, I'm Skywalker with my X-Wing like I was when I was a kid.

    I also say that I've seen his auctions for so long that I guess they don't affect me, I know to read all the way through, because he doesn't always sell items with repros.

    I even once post years ago, that I felt misled by complete and then parts not original, but I just got used to it and realized he had a niche and was salesman.

    I would say again, that his feed back would not hold up for all these years if people felt they were getting jipped.
    ^^^In a thread with many posts on the subject, THIS is one of the most wise.
