ok. so to sum up

bubblebathgirl is really a boy, but the picture was great.

the price is ridiculous and you demand answers to the duality slash two facedness of this person and his offereings which he is not responding to. this is where things started tumbling out of control?

the price is to high for a potential scammer because they are asking 25k, ultimately removing all profit from resealing the cards and trying to get tons of money from it with low cost to purchase the wrappers. higher costs mean less profits.

someone posted things that made someone else angry then they got banned because the "someone else" lost control of their own emotions....and the person who lost control of their emotions blames the fact that they lost control of their emotions and got banned on a person "pushing" them over the edge. this edge was caused by not getting answers to a question you feel he needs to answer? meaning...the duality of how he said something was over priced he was trying to buy it and how he jacked it up when he was trying to sell it? did i get that correct?

you don't see ANY pontential for collectibility in the wrapper and gum and subsequently want the person to permanantly mark and destroy the originality of the item so that they can serve some higher moral needs? these needs are not his, they are yours. some how this was agreed upon by everyone other than the person who owns the items and everyone is mad that he won't do it?


im find it hard to agree with the arguments here.

Your summary is off...

You're drawing conclusions based on isolated incidents when the issue is not isolated. I provided only two examples because I think it would be enough to make my point. My posts are large enough so that's why I consolidated as best I could.

Mods are tough on CU and many that were banned didn't say anything out of line in the eyes of most. To boot, I would've been banned for this thread and do I seem "out of line" to you right now?

Regarding last paragraph, if you go to the link to the CU thread on page one, you would notice that he felt the same way about wrappers being sold on the market. To boot, he started the thread asking what do to with them...thus asking for our opinion. So they were, at the time, his needs as well...and continued to be until another member found his eBay auctions which is when the silent treatment and barrage of questions began.


Edited for spelling

When people's actions differ from their morals, they begin to rationalize both to protect themselves from a painful contradiction and to build up protection against accusations.

The bigger the dissonance, the larger the rationalization, and the longer it lasts, the less immoral it seems.

Collectibility is in the eye of the collector. Dave
