Re: [MOPO] SHOW OF HANDS -- bogus list STAR WARS Orig 1977 One Sheet Style A...

This guy Rick can't win.   People have asked for direct links to auction items to save them time. That's what he did, for an item that (heaven forbid) isn't a US language one sheet.   So he used BOLD. BFD.   So he paid eBay for the use of BOLD and that's why his link was bold. BFD.   Not all sellers who list enormous numbers of items feel they want to pay eBay to have a thumbnail for every single item they list. Fine don't ever go look at their auctions. No thumbnail, can't be any good, seller is obviously HIDING SOMETHING. Easy - avoid all their items.   You don't like Rick, then block his email address and you won't get his posts via email.   Some of you are carrying on like Rick did something seriously wrong. I am astonished at the behaviour of some of the people on this forum. JR, you don't like Rick - that makes him a "jerk"?   Claude you see a ruse or connivance under everything that isn't listed how YOU think it should be listed.   Good grief!

I am a great believer in the use of the English language as it can be very persuasive in getting one's point across while at the same time, improper use can cause the reverse effect.  Adjectives such as "jerk" inflame without really making the necessary point.  I believe that had such words as misleading or deceiving been used in lieu of jerk a better point may have been made and I am certain this is the connotation which JR meant in his email.  There are others who also do this but they don't flood mopo with their misleading wares.   When a person advertises posters in bold letters as a ruse to get you to look at his posters he is a deceiver.  Take a look at all of his auctions and you will note the deliberate omission of a small picture of each poster in the main listings.  This "bait" advertising forces you to click on the listing and lo and behold, it is not a US poster.  Note listings stating "rare style" and they are most always foreign posters.   I fully agree with JR's frustrations with these types of sellers and have developed my own searching methods which include (most of the time) not to look at sellers who bait you with language such as his and deliberately omit pictures.  It makes searching easier, faster and less frustrating.   CJL 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.
