MShipley88 wrote:I mean that he's winning the money game. Or, do you think that maybe he isn't actually making money?Remember that Creep1962 was trying to corner the "ridiculously underpriced" gaming market....as a followup to his domination of the real estate market. Recent trends show he may have been right about the "underpriced" part.Mark

Most of the gaming stuff that he had listed is now gone becuase he finally realized how far off he was and ended up auctioning a majority of it off several months ago for little or no profit at all. What remains in his store as far as gaming material goes has been festering there for almost a full year now. As an example, he has had that series of C modules sitting in his store now for at least a year at the same price, 1 year. He is essentially out of the OOP gaming material business, which is exactly where everyone said that he would be ayear ago. His primary business is and has been for a long while now buying bulk minituares direct from the manufacturer and selling them off piecemeal. Believe me if he had only been counting on his OOP gaming material fishing expedition to be putting food on his table, he would have starved 6 months ago. He didn't win sh*t.

I will be happy to post links to a delivery confirmation, and date of purchase for an auction, to show that 2 months or 3 months is absolute slander. Would challlenge your integrity in court, but don't have time to waste on that rubbish. creep1962 sells more miniatures than anyone in the world on a retail level. So don't just state it, post a user ID if you have the balls, and I will post the contradiction. There is no denying, packages can take 2,3, and in extremely rare cases, up to 4 weeks. Crap happens. Ebay sellers post S&H charges, if you don't like, don't BID ! What kind of dip would buy something with the terms clearly posted, then complain about the terms ! Undoudtedly, transactions go awry. Especially when you coordinate close to 2,000 monthly. Short supply ??? Never from creep.* I know he will purchase over $30k in miniatures in a day. He'll buy yours too!*

I told her not to waste her time, but then when I read some of the stuff, I had to laugh so hard. So thanks to you all for allowing me the laugh. I would appreciate a thanks for getting you a higher dollar on your goods. I would explain the procedure of proper analysis and evaluation of unique items, but my guess is over half the people reading this thread are not competent to understand it, furthermore I spent 4 years of my life training apprentiship in appraising, and really don't get paid to pass my "superior than your knowledge" along. Because I'm actaually educated in the business of valuation, and you call yourself that with probably NO formal education in the business, and base your valuation off weeklong auctions on ebay. ha ha ha HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE ??? THATS what you are using for evaluation, and admit it or not, you know its true, and therefore you are a pathetic "guesser" at best. There is guess work involved at finding the top value of items, especially those which are not sold everyday. I WILL find the top of every item I have, and I know this market is so uundervalued, and the sales statistics here are so outdated, that I will buy from anyone, entire collection, whatever, for exactly the price listed on this site, or more ! If my Egg of phoenix is so far overpriced (and I cannot say it is not, it is not sold and therefore no-one, not even you the miserable ignorant waste of oxygen reading this) can say what the value of it is. BUT I will buy ANY, Thats ANY, EVERY SINGLE ONE, from any one here PLEASE STEP UP, because I will buy every single copy put before me for at LEAST $200. And one in the condition of that particular copy, I will pay $300 NOW !!! Put up, or shut up. Come with an education , or don't knock me. Prices of MANY items are right now DOUBLE what they were 6 months ago, and rightfully so. Some are very very hard to find. My SW copy of Wrath is so over proced ??? Then bring your SW copy, and I will give you $80-$100 for it. Prices change people. Values change. Its all worth what a ready willing and able buyer is willing to put down, and you WILL NOT find that running a week - long auction on Ebay. So, you have some SW copy of 80 - 95 D&D you wanna sell ? I'll pay you twice you ever thought you may get for it if you have the balls to sell it. I got out of investing, in real estate, to come right here in the middle of your game people, and I intend to make as much money right in this industry in the next 10 years, as I made in Real Estate. If you think those items are worth those low-ball prices on the pricing sheet here, I'll pay you more. Unless .... of course .... you all just wish you had something of value.

bclarkie wrote:The saddest part of it all is that above and beyond the fact that he claimed the same "bad employee/death in the family thing" already once about six months ago, is the fact that he out and out lies in the feedback that he leaves. For instance, the guy that left the neg stating that he it had been 1 month and he still had no product on Aug 14th and creepy's response was include a DC# that clearly shows that he didn't ship the item out until the day after the Neg was left. Then there are the retaliatory negs that he leaves for people that state that they neg'd him but never paid. That would be great except for the fact if he filed a NPB notice, EBay would have removed the negeative feedback that the buyer left, which clearly indicates that the buyer did in fact pay and he is flat out lying about it. Anyone with any experience on EBay can see that this guy is a piece of sh*t, and should be well aware that there is good chance now that at his whim, you may or may not receive your product when you buy from him. I also love the fact that he negs people for complaing about turnaround time exceeding 20 days. For one I wonder if it would be okay if he purchased something that took over 3 feckin weeks to recieve? I can garauntee that it wouldn't. I mean it might even be a little bit different if he didn't in fact do this full time, but seriously this is like his full time job and it is still taking 2 to 3 weeks to even ship the stuff out??? That's bull sh*t. That to me means one of 2 things is occuring: 1) He is completely lazy & incompentant or even worse 2) He doesn't actually have the product on hand that he is listing. Looking at his feedback I get the sneaking suspicion that it is actually a little bit of both. Creepy is definitely one of those sellers out there that if looking at his feedback you still buy from him, then really, whatever you get you deserve.
