It was solid advice directed your way because you threw in your two cents foolishly trying to defend someone else's lousy business practices. On the other hand if that seller was you -- well, you got exactly what you deserved and should probably try to learn from that experience. Here's the relevant details for those that want to reference the ancient discussion accurately.viewtopic.php?p=61682&highlight=#61682
Icar wrote:"If as a seller, it is too time consuming for you to sell your items properly, then IMO, maybe you shouldn't be selling them at all. If its to difficult to properly sell your item and you insist on selling stuff anyway, then list everything you sell in Poor condition and also indicate that you will make no effort to package the items in away that will insure that they will arrive in good condition. Set the expectation for your potential buyers that you really don't give a sh*t, and thereofre they will have nothing to complain about when they buy from you. Granted, it will end up costing you as a seller some cash, but if you can't take the time to sell your items properly, you(in general, not specific) shouldn't really care what the end result is either. Decide which way you want it, but you can't have it both ways."Here is someone that wants to show me how to do things "properly" i.e.: his way. Also telling me how I can or can't have things.

Icar wrote:If this is the guy I am thinking of he suggested to me that charging anything more than exact postage was wrong. Even the cost of the envelop or box was too much. He also was angry that I didn't professionally grade every item I sold. Selling and buying needed to be taken with the utmost seriousness and done his way.

I've been told that you would have thrashed me hardest of all - I'd have liked the opportunity to see if I'd weather that storm calmly.For what it's worth, I'm finding all of the people here to be bright, articulate and highly knowledgeable. I'm finding about half to be very likable and a quarter to be tolerable. I've seen worse ratios... and better.-Dave

Starting a conversation with 'If it is the person I am thing of ...' and then preceeding to run with that assumption and rubbish a persons name is poor form. I will be visting the US/Canada this year so if you are around it would be great to catch up ....

Icar wrote:You have told me and others how to conduct themselves, which is not your right nor your business.
Icar wrote:It was also the point of my previous post, I couldn't remember what you had insisted I do, only that you were insisting.
Icar wrote:My question to you is have you ever committed libel and accused someone of an illegal, immoral or unethical act when they were innocent?
Icar wrote:My opinion is out there, and the truth is I would buy from anyone on this forum including bclarkie. Everybody deserves a chance and there is no one here who doesn't care for the hobby.Nuff said.
