Nope. PM's are truly private...no one can see them except for you and the person who sent/received them.

Oh well, o.k., so somebody I didn't know sold me a card on here and then bought it back for a higher price, after losing a bunch of money selling it to me in the first place. So what can you guys be accusing him of doing? And furthermore, since I have no control over who wins my eBay auction, how on earth can I be a considered a party in this?


EDIT: I just went back through all of piedmont150s posts, and it seems like he was selling cards at the time to fund a project. So maybe he begrudgingly sold at a loss to me, and then after a few weeks went by, had the funds to buy back his card from me when he saw it on eBay, for as little as $5 more than what he sold it to me. I don't see anything wrong with this...so hopefully the issue is dead. If he did have some sort of evil plan behind this, and I was unwittingly helping, whatever it was didn't work. So hopefully we can leave this issue, and speculation as to what his reasons were for selling, alone.

Edited to add: I concur. This is the best thread since Dorskind threatened to sue himself!

By the way, I refuse to believe anything written in this thread (including my own posts) until Richard comes on here and confirms them to be true!

No hunches! I want facts!

[OldSchoolBaseball]

Let me first say "Buying to sell and make some quick cash" is totally fine with me. I am sure I have purchased hundreds of cards that were profitable for the seller. That's fine with me.

I question the authenticity of some of these auctions and how they reach their final sale price. It sounds and looks fishy to me and other Net54 members.

Why is someone selling a card and buying it back "fishy"? Stop speaking in generalities like a coward. If you have a specific accusation, make it. But I don't see how me buying a card on this forum for $180 and selling it two weeks later on eBay for $185 constitutes "fishy".

Is that why he only talks in the 3rd person?

I remember on the old Net54 boards people used to give him a hard time about his silly "we" posts and usage of words like hither and henceforth. But people don't tease him in the new boards, why not?

Bruce speaks in the first person plural, for a reason that nobody can fathom. And he gets his fair share of ribbing on this board, and is not ashamed to give it right back.

Bruce still catches grief over it on this new board... he doesn't post on the new board as often, many don't.

There is a difference between the sale of a card and the closing of an auction for a card. An auction can end with a high price where there ultimately is no sale. Maybe payment was never made, maybe the card was not satisfactory and payment refunded, there are lots of ways for an auction to end with a high price and there was never a completed sale.

Ah, yes, the "royal" we...

I forgot how thick skinned you need to be for these forums....I'm a pretty sensitive/defensive guy....best for me to navigate with caution.

JP,

I'll echo what others have posted: I don't need any PMs from you. If you've got something to say, post it here.

The sale was legit.


EDIT: shoot...I should've PM'ed you that, would have been much funnier....

Instead of sending PMs to people you don't know, you might want to keep shoveling in an attempt to remove yourself from the hole you've put yourself in.

And what hole would that be?

I bought a card on Net54, then sold it on eBay, and the guy who sold it to me on Net54 decided to buy it from me on eBay. How does that have anything to do with me? How do I have any control over that? And what purpose would it serve?

Stop being an a*hole.
