Re: [MOPO] definition of an ebay fool*

Michael,   OK, now you really *are* being obsessive -- if you didn't get that I'm with you on this and that my post was a joke, poking a little fun a Big Name in our community who made similar comments a few weeks ago, but intended them seriously.   The only thing is, if you're going to complain in public (which you must admit you've done doing a lot of lately, even if it does appear to be justified), then don't screw around -- name names. I have no interest in hearing what an unnamed seller has or has not done. If you don't want to name names, then you should probably keep these issues private, because it seems too much like hearsay and some people are likely to accuse you of just making stuff up or at least engaging in excessive exaggeration.   But as you know, I applaud your stand on refusing to be a passive victim of these seller atrocities. But don't let it deprive you of your sense of humor.   -- JR     ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael B To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 16:30 Subject: Re: [MOPO] definition of an ebay fool* poor sellers?   someone who has been selling for over 25 years?  someone who lied to me in an email before i bid?   someone who didn't disclose a major, major chunk repainted in the top cross-center fold?  someone who told me on the phone after i received the poster that he did not have the poster in his possession when he wrote the ebay description and that he did not have the poster in his possession when he answered my email about the condition.   yes, jr...... i am being too critical when i only expect to receive that which is advertised.   and, yes jr, i am being too critical when i expect a poster in a condition described in a private email that i received prior to bidding.   .............now jr, if you are so defensive of this unscrupulous seller without knowing his name, imagine your reaction if i announced who he is.....   those like you who say to turn the other cheek, have never been slapped.    (i will NEVER acquiesce to scam descriptions.  sometimes, i just won't announce the name of the seller or give bad feedback.)      michael Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
