Fair shake; calling out Kirk Keith

[travrosty]

i think if you back out of a deal like the cobb card that tells people everything they need to know about you. a deal's a deal! anyone does that to me, and that is it for them, on my permanent "do not deal with" list. i personally know of no friends of mine that have ever reneged on a deal like that just because they like something and changed their mind. it's ridiculous.

even when something is started out at auction at 1 dollar and goes for a very low amount, way lower than expected, both I and my friends still sell the item even if we know we could get more elsewhere. it's called integrity and honesty and honoring one's word. and if someone we knew didnt do that, we wouldn't remember his name the next day for sure, and wouldn't bother doing business with them ever again.

It's happened to me. some guy playing games didnt honor their word. both here in U.S. and abroad, and I don't have the time of day for them anymore. And if I read someone has done this in the past, I would avoid them no matter what they had for sale. Be a man and honor your commitments. It's party of the code of the hobby.

Would it help if everyone just mutually agreed that you are a bad below average seller, but likely never robbed a hobby shop?

You're right it's not murder but what you are doing is simply deflecting, what you have engaged in is more serious to people here than apparently it is to you and that speaks volumes. You say you are sorry but you don't really act like someone who is. I will not respond anymore to this thread as it isn't worth my time but I have little faith in your ability to act like an honorable person in this hobby. IMO you only get one chance to ruin your reputation, you have done this rather well and completely, once destroyed others get to decide whether you are worth trusting again. Saying things like "nobody died", "It' not murder dude!", "it's been like an hour since I screwed someone over" aren't the phrases used by someone serious about changing their way of acting. (obviously only one of those last quotes was yours but you get my point).

Joey is mad at Kirk for accusing him of cracking a comic book and listing it as a higher grade and possibly robbing a hobby shop. Joey wants these allegations to stop. Multiple members then spoke out about bad business deals with Joey that seemingly continue up to the present. Those bad dealings, however, are between Joey and those specified members and are none of our business. Joey is sorry he lied to back out of deals and did not commit bodily harm against anyone that we know of.

Reminds me of a bad soap opera. We can call it "As the Stomach Turns" or "That Days of Joey Farino's lives". LOL

Leon, can you remove everything else and just leave this condensed version. We needed you earlier sbfinley. Your version would have saved a lot of time for everyone.

If you take the time to read the entire thread you might learn how to make this thread only 6 pages instead of 22.

But it sounds better when I say I have to read 22 pages instead of 6

So are you really gonna sit here and act like no one on here has made mistakes or done things theyre not proud of? it takes a man to admit and learn from your mistakes. I made mistakes that involve baseball cards. I guarantee im not the only one whos done wrong. I have learned from this and will move on.

. Couldn't agree more. You make a deal and a better offer/bid comes along too bad you honor what you agreed to. I don't know how anyone in good conscience can argue against that. Also, I'm not too thrilled with that murder comment, that cavalier attitude speaks for itself.
