Zen and the politics of toy selling . . . . blech!

don't just leave us hanging.

Douche? The douchebag is my new avatar. Spill your tale.

i had one too Andy.

"black friday, free shipping or free figure!!!...."

pm sent almost immediatley.., like literally.

ok, ill take THIS figure for 55 plus 10 to ship it and THAT ONE FOR FREE.. (since uh...that is what you WERE offering.)

(pm read, but he decided he was too cool to respond...)

thanks for offering a deal, not replying to my PM, then 2 days later you're all "DONE".

you ass hat. bad toy karma for you.

Anyone know the story on STank-bay 'Gate? I noticed that too yesterday.

I believe we are talking about bullshitshark and their apparent fundraiser.

so cryptic

What are you talkin about

Haha Scott goes through years of selling stuff at below cost and being deemed a Robin Hood of toys and helps tons of us get stuff we'd never get otherwise at those prices then because he tosses some protos and junk on eBay he's become some sort of villain?

Well maybe not a villain, but I'd say it used up all his karma points.

I don't think so

Heavily relying on "toy karma" is a fool's move. Build real relationships.

Make friends not connections.

I second that, learn the full story before jumping the gun.

This is confusing, I don't think I can attend Douchemove 201 yet

(emphasis mine)
this comment is rather uncalled for — so, a person has to sell under retail forever to earn and retain karma points? his new venture in building a local vinyl production facility may or may not need a fundraiser, but dismissing it outright seems rude.

I can't speak for anyone else here...but my ethics aren't on a sliding scale. mostly because sliding happens on slippery slopes.

this is "icky" at best. at worst it's...

There might be underlying circumstances here that we are not aware of. Assumption can get you in all sorts of akward situations.

I am just going to put it this way, it is what it is and leave it at that.

I don't have a problem with selling on ebay (or is selling protos not allowed?) but spamming "bemon gargamel" in that many auction titles at once was annoying.

You just made me laugh Joe.

The Bunny doesn't speak often, but when he does, he speaks wisely.

I'm the first one to poke a flipper with a needle a really big one some people deem inappropriate, but I think it is a little on the obvious side where this money will go and the fact that it will benefit the toy comunity as a whole, unless there is some giant unheard of story but no one has come forward with any so meh

Ummm, S7 employees have sold protos on here, i dont see the difference. He even started the auction at 1 cent.

Wow, people are ripping on Scott for selling stuff (to fund a venture!) on eBay!?! Lame. Like, super fucking lame.
And seriously, I bet he doesn't even break retail on most of that stuff. Starting that stuff off at a penny isn't like starting a Bemon or a Nag off at a penny. Quit yer whining and if you want something bid on it - chances are you'll get it for a steal and you'll help to fund something cool.
Asshats.

This thread's funnier than Angora Patio! . . .

And S7 has sold backstock for more then "retail" and at "market value" (AKA 2-3 x as much as retail) in the shop before. Not trash talking, but they have, I don't see what the big stink is either.

As far as them going back to the "community" please, whatever. Like there's some secret flipper group out there to get these? Or some random person's gonna get them? It'll be members of the board and/or S7 fans.
