What would you say to this fellow board member?

Yeah pardon my crankiness but one person who doesn't give his name complaining about another unidentified member doesn't sit well with me.

What could the other perspective be? I would never buy something for a price and then insist on paying something else after the fact. What would a reasonable justification be in this instance?

This fella seems to think he's some sort of "influencer", and should be compensated as such. Slightly disturbing.

Asking for a discount is not such a big deal, but throwing a temper tantrum that could hurt somebody else's business (or hobby) when you don't get it, instead of just walking away, is pretty sh*tty.

My biggest peeve on forums is anonymity when giving opinions or slamming a person or company. IF the OP outed the person ( I wish he would ) then his name would have to be made public too. I have already put several full names on the front page today, in posts, as those members apparently can't read the rule in bold at the top of every page.

Duplicate post.

That is one of the biggest problems with the PSA message boards Leon. They got some grade "A" jerks over there. And I believe they are letting these banned members back onto the board. These guys have done terrible things to fellow hobbyists. And they all hide under the guise of anonymity. I could tell you some stories to make you say "what the ****".....

Same thing happens on Blowout now. They get banned from here and go over there to hide and talk trash. There are a bunch of trolls, criminals and idiots over there, along with some good people too. But the slamming people anonymously has made me stop participating over there. Lots of criminals outing criminals anonymously. That doesn't work for me. A big pile of poop is what I think it is now. And the mods protect the anonymous criminals to get more page views, so it seems.

I joined Blowout and as soon as I started posting, 3 members accused me of being a previously banned member, who the hell needs that crap.

I totally agree, Peter.


by the way, the guy who posted immediately after you has the strange name of 'packs', but I've never had an issue with him.

Packs is a good man, very passionate and knowledgeable about baseball and cards. Always good for lively and interesting discussions. I too wish he would share his name, but he must have his reasons for not doing so.

From the perspective of an ebay buyer, but rarely a seller, and collecting novice:

Seems like stated intent of initial post in this thread was to get some feedback as to whether seller was being reasonable. Also seems like the actual problem was the buyer made some kind of error checking out and missing out on one of two discounts actually being offered. The rest of the stuff about wanting additional discounts, etc. doesn't seem to have been what caused the dispute (as irritating as it may have been ).

So the dispute comes down to --buyer wanted the two discounts seller actually offered, but made an error checking out. Seller apparently offered a compromise so buyer would get part of the extra second discount, but not the whole thing.

As an ebay buyer, I have had sellers who allowed me to retract an erroneous bid, and I have also had sellers who refused, leaving me with something I didn't want. I leave positive feedback for those who assist me. I don't leave negative feedback for those who don't, since I recognize I'm the idiot who didn't read the description carefully, or clicked in the wrong place, and I know I am responsible for following through with any bid I make. Though it is aggravating to get stuck with something I didn't want. (So far it's only been inexpensive items).

So the guy was way way out of line for negative feedback about a seller who actually worked with him, and who didn't do anything wrong. But as a buyer, I'd be annoyed if I clicked on the wrong button and missed out on a discount, and would think the seller should have given me what was offered. I probably wouldn't be keeping that seller on my saved seller list.

So that's my long winded two cents worth
