these 2 threads were mild by some posted here and were hardly attacks on either of the sellers mentioned.it was just people questioning these sellers business practices. as a matter of fact people came on and replied that they had good deals with both these sellers. this is what an open forum of this type is, people exchanging opinions. |

Henry- I think anybody is fair game on this forum if it is done respectfully, and I don't see where Levi Bleam was treated in any way unfairly. There was a reasonable objection that collectors had that certain dealers clutter up ebay with the same overpriced merchandise every time there is a 20 cents listing day, and that little of it ever sells. We then had a discussion concerning different business models- what works for some sellers, what works for others. What's so bad about that? |

This is part of the forum, dealers, auctions, ebay, ect...there are a lot of people who share a strong opinion on these topics. you wrote a nice opinion, but 707 has created alot of other opinions. if a person doesnt like the thread there are a 1000 other topics to read or start a new one. |

Not character assassination. I do not appreciate the saturation bombing those dealers deliver on 20 cent listing days. It ruins the promotion for everyone else and makes a mess of the general ebay listings until, like a puppy working its way through a python, it too passes. |

Hey I can move on like the next guy. I suppose I just had a different idea coming into this forum about what it would be like - and what I encountered was different than my expectation. I'm a big boy and I'm no holy lama and if that's the way this thing works that's good enough for me......... |

As noted by Adam (boxingcardman), the problem is not that the dealers have unreasonably high BINs on their cards, its that they flood the listings so if I were to try and list a card, it would get lost in the clutter and in all likelihood, it will not be seen. |

and others don't. I pretty much lived on my own after the age of 12 - my mother didn't live to see her 40th birthday - my father died with Alzhiemer's - I taught poor kids / many growing up without a second parent / in East New York and elsewhere - I have a rough idea of what "tough" is. Not feeling sorry for myself nor ignoring that a lot of people have had far tougher lives. I'm pretty sure that isn't what "I" am looking for in my hobby but I'll take it all in and go from there. |

that most of the people that complain about the listings being flooded dont have a leg to stand on. One guy complained, on the PSA website, that Levi was clogging up all his rod carew searches on ebay. Levi had a total of 7 carew cards listed that time. I think alot of the carping is petty jealousy. |

A lot of people rose to the seller's defense and talked about good transactions they had with him. Some people expressed annoyance with the clutter on ebay and some were wondering how/why he chose to sell the way he does. Only one person said anything negative about him. I don't see why that thread would trigger a call for us to get our act together. All in all, it was pretty civil. Now, there have been other threads that were just crazy and you would have been right to wave your finger at tsk tsk at us. |

catch up with many of the old posts it is likely that it was a building - growing - gnawing - and discomforting feeling I was taking away from many of the threads I chose to open, and not indicative for the most part of the specific thread or all others. That was unfair of me and perhaps off target. "I've had all I can stand and just can't stands no more....". Not sure where that was from but the stooges comes to mind "-) Wait. 1950's television show - Claude Kirshner's three ring circus and his favorite cartoons. It was Popeye "-)..... |

I can understand that. We do have a lot of contentious threads here, which is odd since we all love the same thing. Money, I guess, is probably the root cause. As usual. |

Henry- you and I are old enough to remember Claude Kirshner- do you remember the cartoon he would show, "The Magic Antelope?" It was in 15 parts, and it was about greed, and there was an antelope that created gold every time it ran through the woods. For some reason, that has stayed with me my whole life. |

just to remember his name. It's not like he was officer Joe Bolton or anything! Sadly I do not remember that character. My earliest moral lessons were Davy and Goliath and some show that came on after modern farmer at like 6:30 Saturday or Sunday mornings called something akin to "The Light Time". Figured all good Jewish boys grew up to be good Christians........ |

The Magic Antelope spun gold wherever he ran in the forest. The greedy king captured him and demanded he continue to produce gold endlessly. The antelope agreed, but told the king if he asked him to stop, the gold would turn to clay. |

was far and away a favorite of mine over wolfman. There is a radio program which cuts and pastes Wolfman into their broadcasts (he's quite dead and unable to speak I believe) but unsure what station or when it's on. |

Much of the reason I like this board besides the sharing is that I know many of you that have identified yourselves. I can really picture you speaking while I am reading. The computer age is nothing short of a miracle. I just wish I was a little beter at taming and understanding my computer 'cause sometimes my frustration leeches into the expression of my thoughts. |

The Wolfman Jack show is on XM and those are actually tapes of original shows which he did. Wolfman's widow apparently has a huge archive of his shows and leases (I can't think of a better word) to XM. |
