maybe that's why there were crickets ... people didn't want to become the target of asinine comments like this

Went only looking for Jackie Robinson Bond Breads, and bought one from a guy who had a dozen of them. It was one I haven't seen for sale by itself in the 5+ years I've been looking for them, and I got it for $650. Considering some sellers on eBay price theirs for the same grade on eBay for twice that, I think I got a great deal

Agreed; that was a dick comment.

John wears big boy pants and I didn't think the comment was very out of line. He said he thought they were high prices. Big deal . I overpay for stuff, who cares? I know I overpaid a little bit for these....but wanted them.

I respectfully disagree. If the OP asked if people thought he got a good deal on a purchase, then the response would be fine. However, the poster did not ask what his opinion was and I thought it was a dick comment. Like I was taught when I was a kid, if you got nothing nice to say...

That wasn't an assinine comment. I think you just took it the wrong way....no one else did. But apparently YOU were offended......

[bobbyw8469]

Agreed Leon.....I thought they were high...he thought they were low....Some people think Trump is great....some people think he is an asshat......If you read the VERY first thing, I said, I said, the important thing was the HE THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD DEAL. If you are thinking I'm a dick, then you have a problem with yourself.

[bobbyw8469]

I know I've overpaid for stuff......I can admit it....I also know I've stolen stuff.....I know I sold stuff for a nice profit....I know I've given away stuff.....ebb and flow....ying and yang....It's the facts of life....we are all adults....I turned 48 today......As long as everyone is happy, life is good.

I disagree. It was out of line, and not in the spirit of what should have been a positive thread. I'm not personally offended but would be if a similar comment was made about a pickup I shared.

+1.

The point of this thread was to show your bargains, not elicit comments like "You don't know what you're talking about, your bargain was not one."
Or the sanctimonious "Well, if you think so..."

Waiting for the next person to show us their bargain, and I encourage some positive support for them. It's not that hard, people.

[bobbyw8469]

It's not even a negative comment. I think people are viewing it negatively....for example...say, Im a non smoker....I think cigarette packs are high.....say you smoke...you think cigarette packs are cheap....they are just two people's opinions. There is nothing negative or positive associated with it. I think people are taking it the wrong way.....two different people can view two things totally differently.

[bobbyw8469]

Me saying something seems high - why is that even viewed negatively??? I dont put a negative connotation behind something being high. That is my PERSPECTIVE - as it was WONDO's perspective as it was cheap......if you are a Rolling Stone fan, you may think $1,000 tickets are cheap.......I might think they are high...there isn't anything negative or positive about it.

[bobbyw8469]

Geez....I give up.......I can't win with some of you.
