Please tell who decides what is right or wrong in life...here the buyer and seller and this is the only time this turned into a small mess.

Usually I end up buying much more down the road from that same seller and he is happy and I am happy in the end. He may lose 500$ today but make 1000$'s down the road.

We do not all have to have the same view of what is right and wrong in life that is what is called freedom of thinking!!!

I would bet you more than you can afford that the person you reneged on for $500 will never deal with you again.

And I respect his choice and understand his frustration!!!

His lose because I know I pay for my stuff 99% of the time. Like I said 1% goes wrong as it did in this specific case. That is what happens some times like in any other field in life.Never lost track of how many cards I ended not buying just know almost all my deals get done without any problems.

If you have lost track of how many cards you haven't paid for, you aren't anywhere close to 99 percent, mon ami.

Adrian,; it seems to me that when you first started on this forum that you were enthusiastic and had good intentions in the hobby. As I read your numerous comments, I see a little of myself in you. I too am passionate about many aspects in my life and sometimes get off track when I feel attacked or if there is a vehement difference of opinion. It's like my "bi-polar,ADD " aspect of my personality kicks in and it is difficult to see what people try to point out--like a horse with the blinders on...

Most everyone has tried to be professional with you but you seem to want to disregard even that. What a lot of this boils down to is that our hobby is not like Macy's dept store. My wife returns 50% of everything she buys--I've learned not to even ask why anymore....and I'm sure (pretty sure) that she's not the only one who does that. What you continue to defend is the number of times you back out of a transaction--somehow I sorta get the impression that there has been more than 1% .
Realize that Macy's ALLOWS 50% returns; you can cancel certain other types of transactions within a certain amount of time as well (lemon law ) etc .But this hobby has an unwritten law that you pay for what you buy; And if you don't have the money AT THAT MOMENT to pay for it, just don't buy it.
Also, the issue is not whether you own a 52 Mantle etc that costs 5 figures; as someone who has owned a Wagner and a couple of Planks, it's still not OK if I then reneg(sp?) on 5 or 10 transactions even if they are only $100 each.
So take the well-meant suggestions of a few people here; chill out a little, take a step back and just try to go along with the hobby "rules" , this coming from a sort-of- anarchist who doesn't like rules!!

Your reply does not relate to my post in even the slightest amount...

This best explains it:

Mr. Adrian, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Guys there is only one way to resolve this in my book don't respond anymore to any of these ridiculous posts. Let him talk to himself because he is making fools of all of us.

A fool is someone who continues to do the same thing over and over hoping for a different outcome. We continually try and talk sense and receive nonsense back. Not worth wasting the time anymore.

[whitehse]

What a change from yesterday's "hat in hand" postings. What do you want to bet he comes back tomorrow and apologizes for today's ramblings while blaming it on something other than his own audacity?

Hopefully we are experiencing Zone's last days on the boards.

Reminds me of the great Obi-Wan Kenobi quote:

"We do not all have to have the same view of what is right and wrong in life that is what is called freedom of thinking!!!"

Up untill I saw this statement I really didnt care much either way, but really..

Right and wrong isnt a opinion. Some things are inherently right and some things are inherently wrong. With out question. Taking it off the "BIG" level and on to our board.... Making an agreement, a verbal contract, a written contract (if it was in an email) and not sticking to that agreement, even if it had to be amended in some way to give more time to pay, or whatever the buyer and seller agreed to.

Its a moral issue basicly. Which does have impact on whoever was the wrongdoer.

I hate when a buyer on ebay dosnt pay, just wastes everyones time. Why bother bidding or making the offer.

Please dont confuse FREEDOM with something else.

Adam, my thoughts EXACTLY!!!

[jhs5120]

He renegged on a deal. It sucks, it happens to me 2-3 times a month.

I think we gave him enought crap for it. Adrian seems harmless enough. Just let him continue doing his thing and give the guy a break.

Well this may be true, but like Leon said, he doesn't realize the issue(s) at hand with doing this...I'm fine with him staying, but needs to change his ways and attitudes and care more about how it's going to affect us or other seller(s)

Adrian,

How can any dealer live by this philosophy?? HOW can you guarantee he will make $1000's down the road with you only admittedly paying for 99% of your material???

THIS IS INSANE what you are/have done!!
