Pet Peeves....

[sportsguyryan]

When you ask for something, say please look at my tradelist and stuff, and then they respond with 'didn't see anything'. Could at least say "Thanks for the interest, but didn't see anything I could use at the moment." Just sounds ignorant and rude. I don't know.

Regards,

I just recently had this happen
There was a member looking for a player and I had a auto rc of the player BV60. I asked if he has some of my wants and if not was he buying. He replied with "$5 Dlvd" As a man of faith it was hard not to be insulting back.
I also remember a person was looking for some KC Chiefs to surprise a family member that had done a really nice thing for them. I offered some of my cards including some nice in person sigs that I had gotten of len Dawson and Marcus Allen along with some GU. The person turned them down not realizing that if they wanted them I would have sent them for FREE.

When people post buy threads but make it clear they will not check buckets.

Pretty ridiculous IMO, what's wrong with checking someones bucket to give them an idea of what you want...Maybe they are just lazy? Idk...

I have a comment on this one. I will sometimes posts something like this "$50 PayPal for BEST auto lot". I will say in that post that I am not looking at buckets. I think it is less time consuming for them to make an offer than for me to go through their entire bucket copying and pasting every card I like. Then they have to click on all the links I post and find out the book values on all the cards I like. Then we go back and forth trying to figure out a deal. But thats just my opinion.

Here are my Pet Peeves:

1. PMs sent but not replied to

2. Members who believe Favre cards are made of gold

3. Members who sell at 70% or more book value

Just want to give a big shout out to mixedupmitch. Its always nice to find a member with plenty of Favre cards I need and even nicer when I get a deal like this

Great post, I agree with just about everything mentioned so far. I have a few to add...

-It bugs me when people just post scans and don't describe the card. Some users, myself included, have dial-up and don't have time to wait for the scan to load.

-People ask me to check there bucket for a certain card without telling me what the card is, who the player is, etc. Again, the dial-up factor comes into play. I try not to be lazy, it's just I don't have time to wait 15 minutes just to look at one card when there are several others I need to respond to.

Glad to see other members bringing back old threads.

[AFutureLonghorn94]

There was another thread like this one that got pretty crazy, cant remember if it died down, got deleted or got locked

[lambeauleap87]

Wow, I didn't even this thread was so old. Sorry!

This one is horrible but I hate the fact that eBay took it away from me. I used to bid up a bidders other auctions if they outbid me out of sheer spite and frustration and I can't do that now with the new system.
