Ebay Idiocy

“Di is having my baby! <3 :)”

“If you want to go the free route, check out freecycle.org. Everything listed is free, and you can get rid of anything for free of course. I have gotten a split whole cord of wood, and almost new Kenwood speakers for my home theater system through this.”

“The freecycle here is a royal pain in the butt!! I was getting like 300 emails a day, so I unsubscribed.


No, I'm not having DDX's baby, but Pixie IS going to be an auntie in Feb!!! I'm just starting to look like a hippo now. LOL. Did I not post that on this board? Shame on me!”

“Wow Dicentra, congratulations! Is this your first?”

“I've used the freecycle.

There are many yahoo groups all over the world...

It's great for getting something or getting rid of things for free!”

“Congrats Dicentra!
i suscriped to the freecycle, but i selected "no emails". i forgot about them.”

“The Seattle group won't let you select "no emails". It automatically kicks you out if you do that. :(


Thanks for the congrats. Yup. My first! A little girl. :)”

“I'm venting....

ok so I listed another item on this evil ebay...and once again...soon as I do folk start watching it...but no bids! I realize they're waiting but JJEEESUSSSS...BID ALREADY! $^$%@*#$^&@#(

can ya tell patience is virtue I wasn't born with?

carry on...”

“So this is how you're paying for that new laptop then?”

“naww the lap top is paid for...I've been thinking I needed to get rid of stuff in general prior to that. Online is much easier than draggin it to antique stores or collectors...or even worse draggin it into the yard doing a yard sale. I'd rather be stabbed in the eye with a fork!”

“I'm crap at seeling anything. I never seem to return stuff either - did sell an old backpack on craigslist thou, far easier and safer than e-bay.
Much better to buy from too as you don't get those stupid bidding wars.”

“I listed an elliptical machine yesterday after Di turned me onto craigslist. And last night got an inquiry ..looks like it will get it out of here.

This world of excess is crazy..and I'm just as guilty as anyone else. Its just stupid to have stuff 1-you're not using 2-you might could get a little something for..and just let it sit around.

“I need to start selling some stuff on ebay...starting with some gear I never ever use.”

“TNF is a #&%!$ed up company! So I finally received a lousy reply, stating that the jacket was 100% identified as a fake.

[and that after the email someone posted here that they can not be certain unless the jacket was inspected] BULL!!!!!

When I asked them how I would be able to recognize a counterfeit TNF...his response was:

Can’t, it’s proprietary. The only way to ensure you are buying authentic product is to purchase from authorized dealers, which can be found at www.thenorthface.com. Thanks.



Last TNF I have ever had is hanging in my closet right now... That was it!”

“Gem - sounds like you got a fake. EBay is prolly facing legal issues from the amount of fake TNF stuff that was sold on there. What do you want them to do?”

“down with the man!”

“Yay for craigslist!!! :)”

“Hey DI!!

I've sold my ellipitical machine plus a camera on craigslist this week.. THANKS FOR THE TIP!!!”

“I bought maternity clothes off of craigslist recently. :p I needed work clothes!”

“what is craigslist?”

“www.craigslist.com ewker.... try casual encounters ;o)”

“Just beware of the cheetoed finger guy. :| LOL!!!

(Ask Sarbar)”

“i dont' know what I want them to do. I just felt like he was really unfriendly and still treated me like a mass seller...which he should've known by now that I was just one of the people that must've fell for a fake.

hey...they could've offered me a REAL TNF...for my trouble. *grins*


besides that ebay is telling me I can't list anymore similar TNF things. and I have a locally bought TNF jacket I wanted to sell..

I deserve a damn TNF GIft from them dammit

“Nah Gem, you don't want TNF rubbish. Patagucci is the way to go ;o)”

“yeah!! that's true!! I love me some patagucci.”

Winning Bid: $810”

“Yah, but the winning bidder's name is "whataripoffyouare" or "What a ripoff you are", a new user with rating zero.

I don't think they're too worried about their rating if they don't pay up.”

“prolly a republican”

“But if you look at the last two auctions he had, both the same thing - it appears that the buyers payed up, one gave positive feedback.”

“Poor saps. Screw my Ebay rating, I'd never pay $500 for a box.”

“I wouldn't pay $500 for what came in the box.”

“Nope, it didn't work. Oh well.

“bit - define box.

Sorry, I'm bad today.”

“screwed the pooch again huh bitpusher?”

“Box - cardboard or paper container used to hold other objects. No intrinsic value, except to children and scammers.

I didn't do whatever's wrong with the board. I just tried something I thought would fix it.”

“Just wasn't sure which box you weren't willing to spend $500 on 8)”

“Didn't we just find someone like this:

http://www.thebackpacker.com/trailtalk/thread/40430,-1.php

Time for another lynch mob?”

“wow...if you read his ratings you'll see he has done this before.

He isn't a registered user anymore, so I guess it isn't legal.

they are selling free email addresses that include the words "xbox360" for that money right now.

Scam!! I wouldn't care about my ebay ratings anymore. no way I would pay anthing. BUT I also make sure I read the listing before I bid.”

“I put a peanut butter maker up for auction this week and in the first day it got up to 80 bucks!! Who in God's name wants to make peanut butter? I sure never did..lol”

“I made some in a blender once. It was pretty good, but tended to separate.”

“wellllll bit...this machine won't do that...report to ebay immediately :)”

“I have a food processor now, but I've never made peanut butter in it.

Besides, why make PB when you can buy it by the 55-gal drum from Costco? Yum!”

“carlette is an ebay scammer!”

“scam my arse...this is a high quality unused piece of machinery!!

“LOL

how's the new job?”

“I dig it. Of course revenue is a bit touchy bout internet surfing due to access to you know the stuff I'd have to kill you if I told you about. I got to meet with a federal agent today..that was interesting...who knows maybe I'll get to the fed level one day. muahahahah”

“Carlette with a badge...not sure whether I should be excited or scared...”

“

IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME! PEANUT BUTTER JELLY! PEANUT BUTTER JELLY!! PEANUT BUTTER JELLY WITH A BASEBALL BAT!!!”

“just to keep this thread active...

i have lost many auctions these last few months on ebay. i make fair bids but EVERY TIME someone winds up outbidding me and the auction ends closing for MORE than what i could buy the item for in an on-line store.

are people morons or what? is their entire experience with the internet ebay?

sour grapes because i didn't get a bargain? perhaps, but i am still fascinated by it all.”

“ymmv - I usually do pretty good. Heck, the other day I got an original reproduction poster replica by Michelangelo for $500, normally retails for $1,500. (saved money by not having it framed)”
