I'm pretty sure UPS provides $100 worth of insurance automatically.
Maxie, you really just don't have a clue, do you? Do you have any idea how stupid your auction descriptions sound when you say things like "even you, DEADLORD36"? Maybe 1 out of 5,000,000 people on eBay knows who I am, if that. It just makes you sound immature and childish. Hmmmm, was that YOU selling Warrior of Mars...............
As far as smugness, what can I say, fuck with the bull and you get the horns. I don't think you need to worry about being banned, this is a very open forum, and I'd hate to see you get banned, what with you being my new bitch and all. I haven't gotten tired of gnawing on you yet. My advice to you would be to have someone with a high school education edit your posts, since your destruction of basic grammar and spelling is where I will usually hit you the hardest.
Hey, here's a thought. You could hire a tutor to work on your English skills with all the money you make from overcharging shipping! Eh ah um yeah dood lol noob so like sound good?

Yeah, and that really pisses you off doesnt it deadlord? I think I will keep it in all my auctions just to get your name out. You deserve it. I don't think I overcharge at all. :P

Besides you prove my point only 1 in 5,000,000 knows who you are. Your own post said that. So if we assume their are 10,000 who come here I still have lots of customers including many who have bought from me right here on the good ole ACAEUM. It's just you and a couple of others. I don't care for.

If spelling and grammer is all you can attack now since I have made it clear you can take your money and anyone else who doesnt like my way of things can take theirs as well and stick it where the sun dont shine, I think thats humorous. The only power you really have is your pathetic wallet. And their are millions of customers with wallets many of whom have had EXCELLENT dealings with me. :D

One of my best friends worked there loading trucks at night during the mid-90's.  As they had a lot of south american employees, soccer was the game of choice at their hub.  Packages subbing for the futbols, of course...

Yep, that feedback rating keeps climbing..........
Maxie, the truth is that you really don't have anything that most of us here don't already have, or can't get from each other or about 1/2 dozen other sources. And since my collecting has just about ceased, I have no reason to bid on your stuff. Besides, I have no desire to take out a mortgage just to cover shipping fees on a few modules. That is, if you even shipped them.
Does it piss me off? Nope, not at all. I find it amusing. You had a chance to fit in well here, and you teenagered yourself right out. The funny thing is, you still don't get it. It has nothing to do with who has more money to spend, or who has a bigger collection. But then again, why would I expect you to understand?

LOL nah man my shyte is bigger, you and their are TONS more too so dont be a noob.

Is that better?

I don't mind sending confirmation any more. I got screwed by a buyer who said he didn't get anything, and found out that the lack of confirmation meant I was automatically at fault. It seems like a good deal to me.

That's also the reason to include like three different services in your shipping options, because then people can pick and choose. I ran into that problem alot when I was using one, but using three makes people either pick one, or not bid.

No big deal.

I get it. You feel the need to be in power. If anyone dares threaten your throne of smugness and smartypants shit then you get ready to fight with words. :roll:

If you have everything I have to sell then thats great. Lots on here don't, so you don't speak for all on ACAEUM. I see the bidder lists on my auctions and I see lots of names we would both recognize. Once again your a smug jackass. You dont know it all. You sure must have cowed the rest of the board before I got here. So here I am your whipping boy. What are you going to do? NOT BID? OHH that hurts me deadlord36.

Funny how I have lots of good transactions. Your a barking hound who thinks he's treed a cat. Big mouth who thinks he's king of the board here.

I said I have a collection that dwarfs most on this site. I think it does. Did that wound you? Is your pride hurt. Post away, but you dont hurt my collections sale and I still have plenty of buyers who are satisfied.

I also dont get the translation that you feel you need to leave at the bottom of your posts. Does my smoking a doobie now and then wound you as well? If all you have is MAXWELL cant form sentences well in a internet forum and he has high shipping(since my wallet isnt as big as my mouth) and finally he said he has a bigger collection than me(us) your a pretty pathetic dude.

Theirs absolutely nothing you can do. You've been called a wannabe moderator chief A#1 jerk and theirs nothing you the mighty deadlord36 can do but pout. So don't buy, post away and have fun because I am selling with good results without you BRO!!!!!!!! :D

Hey, Max, if you're taking a poll or keeping a list, put me on the "not" list.

It's been a long time since I've seen anyone so thoroughly NOT GET IT. I'm not talking about your current spats with Traveller and Deadlord — although you're getting your ass kicked in both, BTW — I'm pointing out that you've failed utterly to comprehend what the Acaeum is about. The site is fueled by nostalgia, research and information, my man, not competition, jealousy and paranoia.

Max, all of your problems here are self-induced. YOU are the one who debuted with a post asking "how big is your collection?" YOU are the one who invented a "fab five" that not one single other person knows or cares about. YOU are the one trying to be top dog on a forum that really doesn't need one or seem to want one.

So, between those factors and your fabulous 92-percent positive feedback ratio, I'll go ahead and pass on your auctions. Thanks just the same, though ...

Very well spoken, Xaxaxe. :)  Let's all just calm down, folks, and go back to researching our DMGs. :)

You have to admit that this might be the most contentious thread ever 8O. I am just waiting for the "EVERYONE ON THIS SITE SUCKS!" thread to start soon. Geez....

Just a brief note - Am i wrong in thinking that a 92.9% feedback rating is utterly appalling?

No, you're not wrong. Considering positives on eBay are generally thrown around as freely as candy at Halloween, anything below 99 percent should be looked at with some suspicion (although, to be fair, any non-positive feedback has a much greater mathematical effect on those just starting out than it does on a seller with 200, 500, 1,000, etc., completed sales).

It's also uncool to call one of your customers a "retard" in a public feedback forum, as Max did three days ago in a response to his most recent negative.
