Whatever happened to that a hole? (Sorry I'm in the Dominican Republic and have been enjoying run drinks since 8 am.

"Whatever happened to" sounds like a great title for a new thread.  We can all keep tabs on DNIIM, stephen_rockefeller, trekgate, hcxkid, etc, etc, etc

Maybe the next fundraiser campaign could be towards a retirement home for brickpickers and resellers.

As a tribute, I was sent one of those Jenna Jameson jigglers, just sayin'.  I need to see if it's still hidden from the kids.

"self-imposed exile" would be a common theme

Hey there,

I am interested in the set and I'm ok with the box wear because it's for myself. Can you do $115 shipped to 60463?

Al

Item is listed for $200 with no option for Best Offer.

[Val-E]

Al knows the sky is falling in. In 6 months you´ll be glad to get the 115.

[biking_tiger]

I had an offer for a TH earlier this week... $200. 

The sky is not falling that hard. 

[c_rpg]

Then there's the smartasses pointing out that MSRP is only x $/€. Or "store x is selling it for only y €!".

Plus people expecting you to lower your price because they want local pickup and have a long drive. "I know the item is listed for 30€, but I can only offer you 20€, because I have to drive 100km to pick it up."

I try to be friendly on ebay, but it's really hard with these kinds of buyers.

Let´s talk this time next year. They are currently selling for 350 euros from a high of 500. Either that or only sell on Amazon.

Ass Square could help or hinder it. We´ll find out soon.

I would direct them to purchase the item at said establishment.

Last year on Christmas Eve, I had a craigslist ad up for Poe's X-Wing.$100. Not really making anything considering I bought at retail and just want out of something I had expected to flip.. Some joker calls me up and offers me $60 since they're only selling for $50 in the store, but he needs one for a Christmas gift. I tell him that they were $80 in the store plus tax pushing it up to almost $90. He's like "Well, if you change your mind, you have my number." My nephew instead gets one for Christmas and a friend gets the other. A week later I get a text from the same joker asking if I still had it,"Nope."
