Forgot about that story. Here's the reference for others:

 

oh that Sroster was a character.  I sure do miss his colorful posts.   Didn't he used to do some of the Daily Brickpicker Summary updates as well??  The ones that Trekgate fella couldn't keep up with...

"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

Pretty sure @trekgate502 still visits here - I believe he even posted last Sunday. Category dcdfan .......

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

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.

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

The sky is not falling that hard. 

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."
