Since the Admins have not responded to the current flipper problems, I feel just starting the thread will help. If anyone wants to add to the main list here, PM so I can edit it. SB Name: opportunitylol eBay Name: daytrader9966 eBay Shop Name: Super Cool Stuff For Sale
Re: Destroy All Flippers!!! Its been done and it was locked. Save yourself the annoyance, just ignore people.
Re: Destroy All Flippers!!! Its one thing to flip, Its another to flip goods bought from board members. Its disgusting. We cannot allow this to pass.
Re: Destroy All Flippers!!! Ok...go get ur lynch mob bro. How can we "not allow" it? If he was trying to do it on here its one thing but its the bay...
Re: Destroy All Flippers!!! Because he is taking stuff from board members and reselling it. Use your head "bro". Its a bunch of bullshit. He is trying to make profit off of this board.
Re: Destroy All Flippers!!! This problem has existed nearly since the inception of this board. You're not the first to discover or make a stink about it. The only way to solve the 'flipper problem' is for people not to buy from the flippers. So the real problem is the gotta-have-it-now buyers. If every vinyl collector stopped buying flipped toys, the flippers would go away. But I would bet everyone here has bought from flippers and continues to do so, so the problem will never end. Creating a witch hunt for flippers never works and it only creates a way for people to point fingers at everyone else and stir the pot.
Re: Destroy All Flippers!!! Fair enough, but not only is this flipping, its this board member going around buying from the board and then reselling it. Its even worse than just showing up at a lottery or show and buying whatever you can get and flipping. Thats the problem.
Re: Destroy All Flippers!!! Ok, but you made this a thread about all flippers. If you want to just post a warning about this guy, I think that would be more effective. I agree that is a shitty thing to do.
Re: Destroy All Flippers!!! ^ I would have just done that, but this is to get the attention it needs since some of the Admins dont care and are not responding. I know flippers cant be stopped. But getting someone out of here thats directly screwing the board members might be possible. Right?
Re: Destroy All Flippers!!! ^^^^ Amen man. I mean how can you even tell a dude/buyer is going to turn out to be a flipper anyhow? Unless you knew them personally after it happened before...
Re: Destroy All Flippers!!! So what is your grand suggestion?? How do we stop it? How do we not allow it? Oh wait you cant an hes not doin it on the board so what would banning him even do? Hes been called out, he already shut off his PM so its pretty much already done. And this guy was a real collector, He paid flipper prices for some of his toys i know for fact. so yes he is flipping but we dont know why? He didnt buy toys off here to purposfully flip. Hes even selling a private commision on bay with only a slight increase, why would u commision a toy to flip it? You dont. Im not excusing the action of flipping just saying i dont think that was his oroginal intention. We ALL hate flippers, but who honestly can say they have never bought a toy for an inflated price?
Re: Destroy All Flippers!!! Your original intentions don't mean anything. The end result is flipping and thats it. There is no "grand suggestion", just get him off the board so he doesn't buy from here anymore. This guy bough toys and is selling them on eBay for double what he paid. Almost a week after he bought them. If thats not purposefully buying toys to flip them then what is it? And he didn't pay flipper prices for what he bought on here, but he is selling them for flipper prices now. Since you know so much about oppurtunitylol, go ask him and get back to us.
Re: Destroy All Flippers!!! But as others said above you post is about "all flippers" and how the mods and board need to stop them with zero sugesstion how todo that and banning one guy does nothing to stop the problem. And if this guy is doing this purposefuly to just buy & sell to simply tO make money he will jist be back with another name. Your crusade is worthless.
Re: Destroy All Flippers!!! ye, that sucks bringing attention to the occurrence is good but maybe change your thread title. many will avoid even opening your thread the way it stands. - vote to evict opportunitylol - one of these brains is focused on $ not vinyl ... make it specifically about this one flipper so we can deal and move on maybe the admins are just not responding to your approach, if you get more people involved and offer up all the specifics and your solution to the matter. i know we should probably deal with this matter of factly by now and give less energy and reaction to these negative threads, a flipper might get a kick out of seeing you shout and show desperation at his existence amongst the saints everyone should read the last two pages of the F**K YOU thread, opportunitylol seems to be flipping for a real chunky profit.
My failure to articulate correctly has caused me to contradict myself, although out of context. Stupid comments removed.
I want to be clear: I do not like flippers I do not excuse opportunity actions I have bought toys for too much $$$ but i am sorry.
N00bs lambasting n00bs . . . puhlease! It's an infinite argument with no chance of resolution! You shut this dude down he comes back with another false ID, opens up another fleaBay account, yadda yadda! There are always profiteering scumbags out to make a fast $ and there are always impatient asshats with too much money and a willingness to be parted from it. There have been multiple incidents over the years and are likely to be many more. The only way to fuck the guy over would be to let him sit on the stock until it drops below what he bought it for but invariably someone will overpay regardless (especially when n00bs are hyping the fuck outta the kinda crap he's selling) Learn the lesson and move on! . . . It's pointless saying it but all the cheerleading and hype-building on an open forum is counter productive, sell shit for a price yer happy with and forget about it and enjoy what yer have and not what might have been or may be in the future! No doubt there'll be another c*nt along shortly!
I'd just like to point out this is the douche bag running around hyping nags and everything else horrible he can on here and over at KR. Obviously we now further know why.
Hate to say it but im totally with Scary Andy on this one Theres always someone who will spend way over what they should and flippers will always be flipping. Just ignore 'em.
