I'd be careful of any brews so opposite to the normal - that person looks fugly then the alcohol kicks in. I'm not a beer drinker, mostly because ever beer tastes bitter to me. "Tastes sweet then the alcohol kicks in" sounds just what I'd like to drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincevaughn Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 As a homebrewer myself you will be fine as long as it doesnt smell like bandaids. Because well sugar rich environment for the yeast is also is a good environment for bacteria. But even then it wont kill you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarleyMoose Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Not a war story but I figured I'd throw this here.

Alpinemaps Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 LetGo app showed a new sealed 10188 Death Star for $300. Talked the guy down to $275 because I was local and could meet him down the street from his house. Specifically the local sheriff station parking lot. Sure enough, its obvious the box has been resealed. I cracked it open and every box has been opened. There are no instructions. There are loose pieces. No bag 1s (where the minifigs are). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is exhibiting petty jealousy and judgemental behavior, and who has liberated profit from the big bad corporation and given it to the little guy? I'll take Robin Hood level Karma any day! ?? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could tell that he knew he had been caught. And because he was at the Sheriff station, he knew he couldn't get away with anything. So he was real quick to apologize and get out of there.

I see a lot of similar posts on Facebook, something like "I know how much these have been selling for so don't try to gouge me." it makes me wonder what the incentive is for anyone to sell something to them for exactly as much as they got it for and losing money due to fees. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelgazra Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I know the recommended approach to trolls like that is to simply ignore and block them. But I'd be inclined to give a similar snarky response on such an unregulated platform. Something along the lines of... "Turns out I've been selling them at this inflated price for weeks already; just because Target had a sale and you missed out on it, suddenly makes me soulless? Perhaps you'd be better off spending your time devising a plan to avoid missing their next sale, instead of lecturing me on how karma works. As a wise man once told me, you'll only have yourself to blame for not securing a discount when it was available." I probably couldn't help myself. Never on eBay, but CL.... sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think before you judge. To make up for your brash statements you can buy my Assembly Square for my asking price plus $100 in emotional damages.". 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you soon.” “Did you leave? Why didn’t you wait for me? I lowered my price for you. Wanted to have good karma and all, now you screwed me over.
