Anakinisvader Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Got the Gamer4life777 message today. Trying to get a Modular for $50. I told her I felt her pain because my 6 year old son was dying from Leukemia and I needed to sell off my LEGO collection to pay the medial bills and avoid bankruptcy and foreclosure. Dirtbag. 4 Quote

jaisonline Posted June 8, 2014 Author Posted June 8, 2014 The stories are fabulous. However, I do want to crawl under the dining room table into the fetal position after reading 50% of the posts. I'm so happy I created this thread to spread the moron love that we deal with. 2 Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 I would give someone a discount if they were just real with me: Hi. I am married with 2 children. They are terrible. I hate my wife. I live in a trailer. I just want some damn Lego Automatic 50% discount. 1 Quote

game Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 This is an interesting thread......Im gonna go ahead & leave this here: copy&paste "Wow way to rip people off with your prices!! Ebay shouldn't let people like you sell on eBay.. My don is 8 and can't afford this kind of money and I refuse to buy it for him!! Shame on you !" Username: I will leave that out... this item was $35.00 Quote
game Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Here's another one, this gentlemen is from another country "Never I wasnt interested in buy you nothing. I dont like the scalper employee of ACTIVISION. Tomorrow you will have a big surprise in your work for this auction. Good luck" Got accused of being a scalper & an Activision Employee, along with being threatened all in the same message: WIN-WIN-WIN ....lol Back story: this guy messaged me a few times before I finally responded. He was actually trying to get me to buy his items while posting questions on my items marked as other, I told him I wasn't interested. I asked him if he had a question about the item he posted the questions on & that was his response. wow Quote
Jojoyojimbi Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 it's not always the buyers that are dumbasses, check out what this guy wants for this star wars store display: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321419339050?ssPageName=STRK:MEBOFFX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1432.l2649 Quote

I wish we could see what offers he's had on it so far. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 I will give the seller this, he did pick the king of all star wars displays to charge and arm and a leg for.....It will fetch far more than A few hundred bucks. 1 Quote
game Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 You think that could go for around $500-$600? That does have a ton of minifigs in it. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Who knows maybe........there is zero playability in any LEGO store display though. Quote

game Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 What about if we have funny messages from buyers that were actually really happy, ok to post them here....jaisonline? 1 Quote
jaisonline Posted June 8, 2014 Author Posted June 8, 2014 What about if we have funny messages from buyers that were actually really happy, ok to post them here....jaisonline? well, if it makes them look like a fruitcake or their behavior must be caused by something in the water 1 Quote
game Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Yeah this might not qualify because it was caused by her getting something for free. Her initial reaction was priceless though Quote
jaisonline Posted June 8, 2014 Author Posted June 8, 2014 Yeah this might not qualify because it was caused by her getting something for free. Her initial reaction was priceless though Feel free to post. I only started this thread. It's owned by all of us :) Quote
game Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Ok, first off I would never call this women a "fruitcake", she's just too damn awesome..... I received this message from a returning customer. She had just purchased 2 other items from me that were not that cheap, so I had to do something for her. The initial release of this item was extremely limited & was selling for around $40-$50 on eBay. Omg my kids just crapped. Thank you so much for the sunburn/dragon's peak. I really wasn't expecting that and I really appreciate it! Even without the free sunburn this has been the best eBay experience I've had. Please let me know when you get a wham shell in hand then they have them all and I can forget about it.... Until the next big thing. Lol. Daniel P.S. She got the wham-shell for free too about a month later. Quote
holleman67 Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 I've had this guy messaging me and offering me the 50% of my price on stone minifigs from the new xmen set. I had two sentinels and a x-jet. We went back and forth, him telling me to combine this and that but he had only $50 to spend. He then wanted two sentinels and cyclops and magneto. I told him no, I figured I'd educate him and tell him to go yo lego.com where he could buy the set for $50!!!! He responded back asking, "so does this mean your accepting my offer?" Wtf? 1 Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Why do people waste their time with tools on ebay? Quote
game Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Off topic, anybody see what trenth got for his star wars collection on eBay? Glad he let it ride... 1 Quote
holleman67 Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Why do people waste their time with tools on ebay? Sometimes it provides me entertainment, this guy I was trying to make a combined offer and to be nice. When I realized he wasn't buying at my prices, that's when I told him to go to LEGO. I leave my best offer open. My thinking is that I'm willing to work out in a price and don't want to miss out on something. I put an auto decline in something I was selling recently, and found myself doing the price to where it auto-declined. So I try to give faith in the eBay community that they will use it responsibly. Lately it's been just nonsense. Quote
game Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 I cant stand getting those messages where people TELL you what price they will pay for YOUR item. It's never anywhere near what I have it up for sale for. I got a link one time from a guy telling me that my item's price was too high, it was a limited PSVITA bundle that was out of production for about a year. The link was to a Feed & Supply store out of NY. They sell pet food & just so happened to have one item that was in the electronics category. It was $17.00 cheaper than mine & didn't include the DLC that mine did........Yeah ok bubs! Quote

Someone messaged me back in January telling me my shelob attacks for $25 was just $12 on LEGO Shop at Home when they cut the price and I was charging to much. Perks of being at the right place at the right time! Quote

You tried but you couldn't get away with it man. My low ball offer and sad story was automatically declined for your Batcave. Lol Yeah some items have to have a floor because I am tired of getting 1$ offers. 1 Quote
