Hey, I have an idea to improve his shipping and handling.

We could suggest our friend Jon to get some help from a packer. I'd suggest him Tonya - so he could help her pay her college tuition fees.

And all's well what ends well!

Tonya?? Why her? Is there something I should know about Tonya & Mark (assuming you mean the Tonya over in Michigan)? I've been buying from those two with no troubles...

Tonya?! oh i have a nice lil tidbit from her. i was going to bid on an item that was $1.99, so being a little smarter this time, i sent a msg to ask how much the shipping would be to the UK....*drum roll*..... lo and behold.... $23 ! 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O

needless to say, i didnt bid - i didnt want the item THAT much....

and now you know why i dont bid on her stuff anymore. what a rip man! :?

If/when you get to Texas, give us a ring....I'll introduce you to Shiner Bock, the only Texas beer worth a damn, and you can bring a suitcase full of ST1's for show and tell....

Well, it's not a Jonb situation, but we give her a hard time because the shipping is ungodly, and the more you buy the more you have a good chance of paying a disproportionate amount of shipping, because as explained by Tonya she has to pay off a packer and a lister for a buck a package and a buck a listing, which makes guys like me wonder how a starving college gal can afford her own staff when after 7 years I'm still going it alone with occasional help that bascially "works for food and rent" instead of a buck an item...

Al

ps. funnily enough, i do know through a friend, of someone who is actually sitting on FIFTEEN ST1's 8O 8O They choose to remain anonymous, so i can't tell - only that if he/she ever falls into financial plight, they will sell them off 1 by 1 to balance the books......tsk, tsk.....

Cool, I live across town from Fencert (Aneoth has been to meet him once or twice I believe to pick up some JG goodies) so you'll be in the Dallas area. Definitely keep us posted, you'll be real close to King of Pain, Aneoth and me....a pickup game of 1st edition may break out, you never know.
And as for the guy sitting on 15 ST1's....he's a better man than I am. I don't know how I could sleep at night sitting on such a bounty.

exactly, there have been a couple of auctions I have wanted to bid on, but the costs... $4.65 for delivery of 1 item inside the usa media mail then 1/2 of all other postage costs for aditional items, I believe that she would get more bidders if she had a fairer postal charge, it looks like she wants to make $$ through the back door so she doesn't have to pay good old fees and charges to ebay... may 2 cents worth...

oh excellent! that would be superb! We actually play 1st Ed anyways, i won't play any other, so that would be excellent!! could be a definite plan to stay around there for a few days at least then! I think Amanda would enjoy that immensely too and it would also be fab if we could meet up with some of the peeps off here too and i really would like to meet Aneoth anyway..... *scribbles a note to mention to Amanda later*

Alan

ps. i hope to make a trip to Florida too, to hopefully go to see "the house that IO built"

FWIW, there are two separate guys who answer the phone and pretend to be Jon Bassett, both these guys have the same name, and they both fantasize about being Marines. Hense the motto on their auctions.

They even sent me a picture 'this is me'. I feel sorry for the guy who's had his photo nicked.

So what I see is a couple of guys in a friend's bedroom with an internet connection and a plan to rip off buyer's, both fantasizing about some romantic notion of code and honour, and j*ck off to pictures of young soldiers on the internet.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Well, this story takes an intriguing turn. Perhaps Jon's brother IS dead, killed off by either Jon himself or Jason, who were having a torrid affair, because the brother (original owner of ETC and Game Emporium) discovered them handling up on each other while surfing the net checking out pictures of marines. I don't know who did the actual deed, Jon or Jason, but obviously both have sworn silence and are cohabitating (as witnessed by the different people you've called all saying they are "Jon"). I wonder how the brother's wife, was her name Susan, fits in though. We havn't heard from her, so I fear the worst, perhaps she's inhabiting the same shallow grave as the Game Emporium owner ; and Jon and Jason, the loving couple, continue to sell off their ill-gained booty. OH, what a tangled web we weave....

Well i hear he uses that new magic item: Orb of total bull-shitting ..... i think he is so convinced of his own story, that he's the only one who believes in it - and can't see out of his own bubble, that everyone else out there can see through it like a piece of wet toilet paper.

man he smells of shit soooo bad, i can smell it from here.

eBay Feedback Profile for jonb7839

Yet another neg. This one because the buyer hasnt received the item
also in 7 WEEKS, and yet another retaliatory negative feedback. :evil:

:evil: :evil: I guess sfter 7 weeks of non-reciept of items, negative feedback is still not justified in jon's mind. :roll: What a f*ckin idiot.

We've all seen this before and we know what's going to happen. It's a shame eBay allows this thief to (ab)use their platform. Of course, it's all about the money. Too bad there is no competition for eBay.

The good thing is, that this thread obviously worked. Only very few Acaeum members bought from that thief, the majority stayed away.
