SOLD ! Apple computer covers. NEW 4-2-11

Recommended Posts

I checked my list and checked it twice... Everything has been listed.

We will not relisting on ebay due to the ridiculous fees .

 

My '71 buick Gran Sport convertible is wanting her spot back in the garage and as such we are finally beginning to put together the "goodwill" donation run.

 

 

I've dropped some prices but I'll gladly take the tax break as well.

Sunday is D-day. if there is something you want,get a hold of me before then :)

 

Thanks to all that have made purchases, this has been eye opening and fun to a degree.

 

Bumping 9 separate posts is extremely bad forum etiquette.

This is the marketplace isnt it ?

 

Given the amount of stuff available , it makes sense to give everyone a last call.

I don't believe that to be bad etiquette.

 

My interpretation of bad etiquette is bumping them continually, which I have not done over the past month.

 

Thanks for your bump all the same.

It isn't bad etiquette to bump your sales thread. It's bad form to have 9 threads, though. You should have all of your stuff consolidated into one. Easier for you, and easier for people to buy from you since it's all listed in one place.

 

Thanks for your bump all the same.

 

There's no need to be a smart aleck.

Chris,

By having several threads , those that want specific Branded items can have the ease of finding them rather than weeding through one massive cluster *.

This stuff went up as it was weeded through categorically. AND that is easier for me to list, and keep track of.

 

 

That said, If me having 9 specific threads out of the hundreds here posted bothers you enough to bash me in my post, I'd respectfully submit that its also in bad taste to not mind your own business.

This was a one shot deal,as I am not in the computer or gaming business, nor do I ever care to be.

 

I saved this stuff from the circular file and it was a task bigger than anticipated which I've conveyed to many that made a purchase.

Bash you? I was just trying to help you out since you took umbrage with thatnos' post. Quite frankly, it pisses me off that your response to my trying to help you out is for you to tell me that I need to mind my own business.

 

Hypothetically, an example of bashing you would be to say that it is completely idiotic to separate sale threads by brand, and extremely rude and selfish of you to clutter up the front page of the marketplace forum with 9 of your own threads, thereby pushing 8 other peoples' sale threads off of the front page. Hypothetically.

Chris,

From my vantage point, you jumped my posting.

It seems no matter what forum one is on, there is always some member trying to tell another how they should have done this or that. If you call pointed criticism, help, especially after being made fully aware of my intentions, It's clear that helping me personally was not your motive.

 

Second, if you had taken the time to look at the original posting dates you would see that they were ALL spaced over a month period. So, I did not lambast the marketplace in one day.

Why would I put Atari in the topic header and offer anything but Atari in the posting ? Not the best idea if you have other stuff...

I get your point of saving forum space, but the same space is used whether I post it all in one posting or separate the offerings by brand. Again this is a tracking convenience for me as well as those looking.

 

Thirdly, as previously explained . I would like to be done with this little venture, and rather than simply locking it or asking that they be removed ,edit leaving a blank topic which takes up space, what have you. I bumped them to group them , thus making a clear statement about ALL of the items immediate future. It's a simply heads up.

 

 

There are hundreds of postings made here...The few I have added are a miniscule percentage. Be they,first page, second page, all of the pages.

Were I running a business at AA's expense you would have a valid point. It's clear that I am not.

 

Other members are free to bump their offerings,and I see they do with frequency. Be it one posting, or as many as this board will allow them to post.

 

I hope this posting clears things up for you. If asking you to mind your own business after you had placed what I perceive as clear confrontational comments , has insulted you,

I am sorry you feel that way.

 

 

I am not interested in, nor do I have the time to get into a petty war over 9 video game postings . This is supposed to be a fun place, Ive enjoyed the new friends I have made through this board/hobby, and I trust you are of the same mindset ?

 

That said... you are in the marketplace, what would you like to buy ? :)

Whatever, guy. I don't know what to tell you. I don't know what you think my motive must have been if not to just try to explain to you what thatnos was talking about, but at this point I really don't care. My post was far from "pointed criticism", and if that's the way you took it, may I suggest that you learn to man up a little bit and stop being so sensitive. The next time you create 9 sales threads, one of us can just go run off and cry to a moderator who will just merge them for you. Pointing it out to you instead seemed like the friendlier and more respectful thing to do, since we're trying to have a welcoming community here.

 

I'm done giving you free bumps. Good luck with your sale.

 

Chris
