Hey, pennant guys

[Vintagedeputy]

I'm so pissed tonight. I got screwed out of 2 beautiful vintage pennants in an online auction because their system malfunctioned and they say that they can't do anything about it.

You're pissed? At least it was a technical issue. I picked up this beauty on ebay tonight. Made an offer. Seller countered. I accepted and paid. Then 30 minutes later, she cancels the sale and sends me a message saying she received a better offer...A whopping $200 more.

Imagine being that much of a scumbag you'd sabotage someone elses purchase. How empty must your life be that getting a pennant is that important to you? Luckily no one here would do that.

That definitely sucks. Sorry to hear that.

OMG, that sucks, so sorry Rob. I hope the seller still left a fortune on the table in spite of her perfidy.

“Luckily”. I’m sure this is “to be continued”

This sucks. I've had it happen before, but never on something so big. I collect because it brings me enjoyment. Sometimes things are not fun, like when the post office loses things, or you lose an auction because you did not see it. But this type of thing always makes me feel the worst.

This is the one thing that sometimes burns me out on “the hobby.” There are some great fellow collectors….some of them participate in the thread. Those types help each other out, alert you of stuff that fits your collection and might even “flip” something to you for no profit. But, unfortunately, there are also cut throat, win at any cost type collectors out there too. Those types seem to have an almost pathological need to “get stuff.”

I reserve many words to describe the coat throat, win at any cost sellers...but "collector" isn't usually one of them.

Sorry they messed you about Rob.
