Upset seller what a nut,knows she made a huge mistake

[andawaymego]

With the exception of the pics I don't see too much wrong here. Yeah I might have waited a bit before I threw it on Ebay but you have your own reasons and priorities.

I do find it kind of funny that you have a reserve on these auctions when you got them for pennies.

He can do what he wants with it. I just thought it was uncool to try and make a crazy profit from the very same people who help you out with stuff. Meaning this board. I guess collecting to me isn't about how much something is worth, or what I can get for it. I like the community aspects of a little back scratching.

It would be like for instance, say Bill is looking for an Iron Man, and Bill's good friend Bob finds one for $10.00. He tells his buddy Bill..hey I just found an Iron Man for $10..I know you wanted one, and I don't care for him. If you want him he's up on Ebay ..good luck buddy.

yeah man I would have no problem doing that with a $10 figure,in fact I've helped many members here find what they need,you know the rarity of this figure,that's like finding an Iron man carded for $100,would you hook you friend up knowing it's sold for $10,000 before? cause if you do you know it's Bull crap,and if you do let us see what items you've won on ebay lately cause maybe you could hook some of us up

And I think you're just full of it. Whatever the reason he's selling this is his business and no one else's. Besides, it's complete with the weapon now. And you mean to tell me that you would actually sell a Mr. Rock way below the market value to a fellow member? *cough* BULLSH.. *cough*
Damien got a great deal on that figure, he managed to find the missing part and now he's selling it and will very likely make a very nice profit. Well, congrats to him I say. I wish I was that lucky.

But you're right about the pics, that's his only mistake

Thanx Thomas I appreciate the support buddy,yeah i agree i should'nt have used the pics(learned my lesson now).I have asked her if she wants me to try and remove the pics,but have gotten no response.I haven't tried yet,cause I think I would have to close the auction to do so once it has a bid,so I was trying to avoid that

[Marvelmania]

Flipping a rare find is fine. It's the buyer's choice. The only problem I saw was the pics issue and I'm sure that Damien has learned a valuable lesson there. Damien is the kind of guy that if he knew of a friend that did want it or was seaching for one that he'd have made his friend a decent deal.

[Meule]

I think it's uncool, no offense, your flipping him so fast. If I got that kind of a deal on a Mr. Rock I'd keep him, or help out a fellow collector who might have been looking for one for some time. It's kind of like rubbing it in peoples faces when you do that. I've gotten rare items for great deals over the years and I helped out my collector buddies before I tried to turn a profit.

ABMAC is right, the least you could have done was take your own pics.

Maybe she did say you could pick it up, but did you let her schedule a time for it? She said in the email you quoted that she didn't know you were coming.

If I received payment, including shipping, for an auction and a person claiming to be the buyer showed up at my door unannounced, I'd be highly suspicious, especially if they were unconcerned about recovering money that was already spent on shipping.

yeah i didn't give her a time,I just let her know I was going that day.It was the 3rd time I had gone so they knew who I was.In fact when I got there the 2nd time she offered me the other ones if some regular of hers didn't want them,so I said ok just let me know.I won the other figure you see there and called her that day before and she said yes I'll sell them to you

I guess she just feels stupid,the funny thing is that they are suppose to be big star Trek collectors there,the other lady was telling me how rare and collectible the Andorian was

[theantiquetiger]

Using the picture is a No-No, but other than that, oh well. I noticed she has a real comic/toy collector store in FLA. If she keeps letting something like this slip by, she will not last very long. She has no one to blame except herself. I let a big fish go when I first started because of a buy it now, I emailed the winner and congratulated them.

[ABMAC]

w/e man she did say I could pick them up,that's why i drove my butt over there.In fact I didn't mind paying for the shipping,I actually did and still went to pick it up.She kept that extra money,I never asked for it back,I just knew some hater was going to write to her that's why i hurried up and thank god I did.

[toys2cool]

I did let her know I was going over there

The reason why i didn't ask her if I could use the pics was because I really didn't want her to see what it would sell for

I already told her it's no biggie,if she wants me to change the pics i will

[batmanmc]

deals you got are exactly why i dont offer buy it nows. and if i was the seller and saw you sellingf it with my picture id be ****ed also. not the fact your selling it but your using my picture. after sending the email if it was me id have ebay pull the auction if you didnt take the picture down. sorry to be so blunt but thats what i would do if i was the seller. mike

[jemboy2004]

I wouldn't let it bother you. Her real problem is she now knows she should have done the research on the figures. She didn't, you got a Great deal and now she regrets it and is taking it out on you. I bet if you paid her full price for the figure she wouldn't have anything to say right now. She's just ticked but she should really be ticked at herself.

[ramsey37]

As a seller, it's on her to research her items before putting them on eBay. If I'm unsure of the value of an item I'm selling, I don't put a Buy It Now price on it. You'd assume that someone running a collectibles shop would be smart enough to have some clue about what she's selling.

You definitely shouldn't have used her pics, she is absolutely right about that, it's stealing. If she wanted to, she could could make a picture theft complaint to ebay and they could remove your listing. Ebay is generally pretty useless, but they do follow up on complaints like that.
