Posting story...
-I made a few T206 reproductions as I had in the past and posted them on eBay to make a few bucks, circa February 13th of this year. -However, this time I made my listings very gray regarding authenticity and provenance of the cards. -I thought at the time it would be a cool thing to do to perhaps earn a few more bids. I willingly chose to use an alternate account and I since recognize that as deceptive and wrong (changed username for clarification. current name: njdunkin_2, previous name: katie5831) -The auction went on; I realized the final day that I was going to be out of town and couldn’t ship the cards to the winning bidder(s), so I tried to cancel the auctions in hopes of relisting the auctions later. -The first two (Magee and Doyle) didn’t have any bids, so those could cancel with no issues. -In contrast, the Abbatchio and Cobb each had bids, so I couldn’t cancel. Instead of facing up to the buyer and being straightforward, I tried to bid and win my own cards with my purchasing account (username: njdunkin_1). I did not and would not shill my own auctions to earn a higher bid. -It backfired. Turns out the buyer had a higher bid than both of mine on the cards, causing him to win both. -I was in trouble, but the buyer did not end up paying. Shamefully, I opened unpaid cases instead of just cancelling the auctions. -Nothing really happened and I didn't dwell on this until a friend spoke with me via email with righteous rebuke, pointing out the wrong that I had done. Ashamedly, I didn’t think twice about it until his email, and I saw that he was completely right. Through his words, I could see that I had done wrong and needed make reparations with the people involved as best I could (thank you K). -However, even more to my shame today, I thought I could postpone making things right or even bury my wrongdoing with time. -Fast forward to joining Tobacco Row on Facebook (this would be very late March, early April); I received an inquiry about this situation. I was so embarrassed, but I was set on trying to make myself look better and cover up my actions. I made up lies and tried to make myself look better by stretching the truth. -Deservedly, I’m removed from the FB group as members uncover the truth of the story -Completely ashamed, I didn't sleep well and dwelled on this almost constantly during this past few weeks' time. -Through the encouragement of a close friend, I sought forgiveness of those whom were directly affected by my actions (M and D on FB, along with the eBay buyer.) -I made contact with the eBay buyer and called eBay to remove the unpaid item strikes and apologized to him. I committed to sending out his cards and did so last Tuesday (tracking: 9405509699938375223352) - This opportunity has been orchestrated to humble me, and I'm thankful for that today. Thank you for reading this, and again, I am so, so sorry for the grief that I’ve caused you. My actions were wrong and I realize what this has done to my fellowship with much, if not all of the T206, FB, + N54 community. -Noah "NJ" Dunkin Last edited by njdunkin1; 04-16-2018 at 12:03 PM. |

Didn’t you already apologize for some other shanagians you were up to when you first signed up?

IMO, invoking religion/faith to create the impression that one is honest and trustworthy is, more often than not, a big red flag.

Indeed, the brothers seem to have left the kitchen.

I am the Music Director at a Christian church, grew up in the church, and believe in it very strongly --- and I completely agree with this statement. When someone is that over the top with it, it's a red flag everywhere...including in the church.

Wow. Maybe now would be a good time to take a hiatus and try to reset your moral compass a bit.

I'd suggest a permanent hiatus from this boand. Scammers like you are not needed here. It's bad enough we have to deal with them in the hobby.

I hear you wanting to come clean, but that was after you were caught right? Sorry NJ but I agree with Jesse. Were all human but zero tolerance for this stuff. Like another board member said, this is about having fun. And this hurts our hobby. |
