Arrogant Ebay

Woe to anyone who calls Helen Wallace a dumb twit. She (with her
late husband R.E. "Bob" Wallace) has one of the biggest stamp and coin
businesses
in the U.S.
Wallace Stamps and Coins has been around since 1948, probably
before you were born, since you act like you are about 15.

I remember Wallace. He had his store in downtown Fort Worth.

Many dealers overgrade coins, but Wallace was the most flagrant
overgrader I have ever seen. I went to look at a large cent he told me
was "VF" over the phone. The obverse was AG3, the reverse was basal
state, almost slick.

Most serious collectors consider an email about new purchases as a favor.


Ebay thinks they have the right to control who you send mail to.
This is done for their financial benefit, not to prevent annoyance of
their
members.

Uh . No.
You agreed when you signed up that you would not "bother" anyone ( either a
previous winner of your auction, potential bidders, or runner ups) that you
wouldn't spam them.

Ebay doesn't want people complaining to them how SELLER XXXX emailed them
saying that they put up 1000 new coins up for auction with a link to every
one of them in that email./

I've dealt with 1400 sellers and buyers during my time on eBay. I surely do
not want to hear from the same guy I bought dvd's from about the next 1000
dvd's he's listed. If I want to know what he's listed, I can search for that
MYSELF.

I read both newsgroups. Or, at least I used to. The eBay newsgroup
is so dominated by whining complainers that it's not worth the
bother, though. It's like a class reunion of Hall Monitors.

A few years ago in a "for sale" newsgroup, a couple of
propeller-heads
that appointed themselves "newsgroup czars" used to get their panties
in a knot
whenever someone would list an item with an ebay link. But in their
logic, an "auction" wasn't a "sale." In response to a 3 line posting,
they would write
hundreds of lines ranting about the ebay listing costing people money
in
certain countries where Internet access was charged per minute
(notwithstanding it was a US local newsgroup), there were thousands
and thousands of mom-and-pop ISPs that
the original poster was STEALING hard drive space from, that someone
in Dallas
posting a Dallas auction on a Dallas local newsgroup was violating the
charter
because the fact that ebay is in California made it a CALIFORNIA
auction, therefore
off topic, here is what I wrote the original poster's ISP "Please nuke
this account for
violation of newsgroup charter. The Usenet community cannot continue
to exist
when your customers violate such basic rules blah blah blah."

What a pitiful life these Internet control-freaks must have....

Dear One Time Customer -
Thanks for buying that 1947d penny from me.
I'll be "working you" in the future because
you're too stupid to look for or even know
what you want in a collectible coin. Don't
worry, I'll let you know what you want.
You don't have a choice. Oh, and this is
not spam. You now belong to us.

Dear One Time Customer -
Told you we'd be "working you".
Since you're too stupid to know, we're telling
you now that you need a 1947s and a 1947p penny
to complete your set. And since you're too stupid
to search on your own, we'll notify you when we
have one available. When that happens you'll be
notified and you MUST purchase it. Because you
need it. This is not spam because we said so.

I like what you wrote Lumpy. LOL even. It's just too bad that these
people feel the need to spam to advertise. A good example is sig's. I
refuse to click on Frank's because its so rediculously long... but I
clicked on yours lumpy... You have a catchy line under your url. For
frank and all those that believe its ok to spam, really think about
it. If you can't actually be creative and have to resort to spamming
former customers, what's your stuff really worth? Oh, and lumpy, nice
site too! I remember the pics of the beachfront property in phoenix ya
showed. :-) good stuff!!




Why is Frank's sig "rediculously" (sic) long?

I agree with you 100% Frank. Glad to see you back on
Ebay.

Ok, so you respond to a dead thread, just to wake it up again. No body cares
whether you support a spammer or not, get on with life, go trade your coins
or go buy some ass coins or whatever. It's these damned pro-frank people
that just want to keep trolling like this, and ya know what it gets annoying
even when I kill the posts in my browser, it's people like you that have no
real life that want to keep rearing your ugly face "oh frank is good, I
support frank" well good, if you support him buy his coins, get his spam,
and live life. If you are so offended by link's "language" then maybe the
internet isn't for you... try living in the amish country, I hear they don't
use offensive language that'll hurt your poor virgin ears.

Hmmmmmm..... You asked.
Since greed is defined as the "love of money", and
1 Ti 6:10 says "the love of money is the root of all sorts of evil", then
I'd say the problem with greed is it generates evil. Having money is okay;
seeking money is okay; earning money is okay, but when money is wrongly
prioritized to the point of being greed, it becomes a problem.
Heb 13:5 says "Make sure that your character is free from the love
of money, being content with what you have", further admonition that greed
is a problem.
