Sure i am not the nicest person, not even close, but when i sell/ buy stuff i try to be as correct and good as possible... I may charge premium, but i give some warranty to the buyer, i give them free stuff only cuz they did choose to buy from me. Meanwhile on ebay sellers sell dirty parts, some even try to lie if they get the chance, they pack the things like baboons and the part gets trashed or even destroyed, i never do that, and i guess most of them dont give presents above some price point... + also i do collect stuff myself, so i look for the best deal, in order to have bigger collection, and salvage and save more parts from ppl that see them as garbage...
Well u got some part of them getting in my way being scumbags wrong.. SURE i am rude, BUT i did my part of the deal we cut, they did not, who is wrong then ? Also the so called my way is MORE justified, as i will get the part in my collection and preserve it, i dont look to these pieces of HW just as piggy banks, i enjoy to clean, fix, and picture parts, store them, mod them some times and build great systems with them, so YES my way is more right, then on some nasty seller that wants just profit, and also was WRONG die to wanting 10$ original price, not 100-200 or whatever, then i cut deal with him, and later on he decides that the original 10$ HE DID PUT a fucking price tag is not reasonable, and cancel the whole deal... Imagine in the corporate world there are consequences when someone cut a deal, and then they backpedal and try to cancel, they pay alot of money, they even may get sued and totally messed up, or even jail time... So that said you can see HOW wrong it is to cut a deal with someone for something, and then to chicken out, in the world of the companies and corporations, the ones that dare to cross the line and back off their words after they did shake heands on some deal, they will be ripped off, from the lawyers............
And the acid was for the scrappers, as they love acid and destroying precious stuff, or do u agree a filthy scrapper destroying socket 8 mobo with Pentium pro, 3Dfx cards, ISA high end cards ect and ect is fine and is something good... Or to take apart some nice working IBM or Compaq or any system with like pentium/ pro, 486, 386 and others and destroy it for the sake to extract the gold... Destroying working scrap such as shuttle, AXLE, QDI ect is whatever, but when they trash the rares and exotics that should be punished, and that are not only my words, other collectors (not here) said the same, about jail time and pursuit by the law...
I think u did want to make a point about how buyiers and sellers need to be more honest, but the whole rant, seems to be covered hate over me...... In the end everyone is right for himself, but still there are some rules that distinguish us from the animals right.?!?
