Well, all things considered, I think we both had our reasons to be mad at each other. As for who started it, I can't really say. I've been on eBay since the late 90's, and until recently, it was always the seller who had the power; now with buyer protection, apparently I'm the asshole. I never asked WHY it took so long to ship my stuff out, but rather, I just began to accept that that's just how you were treating my stuff; I always had confidence in you from the start, given your reputation and feedback. As you may recall, both times I paid within minutes of receiving my invoices.
However, when I felt you were taking a long time finding the lost items (I dunno how much stuff you have personally, but I bet my collection is bigger and I could find anything almost instantly), coupled with the long wait I had come to expect anyways, I guess I had enough. That, coupled by your confusion as to what I was missing, was the final straw for me. In person, I would have really exploded at you, but, thankfully for both of us, I was able to simply come across as rude by sayin' "capice," a fact which has actually become so retarded and talked about on here that it's almost embarrassing.
So I digress. I apologize for my rude behavior; I didn't think you even cared if I was happy with my business with you or not. I'm sorry to have come to Hisstank and made such a spectacle; I only wished to bring people's attention to it, but there were so many of your loyal customers here to defend you without considering my predicament. I do resent being labeled a thief, for I have probably done more online buying than many people on here, and I have never even come close to having a situation like this occur. Late shipping, missing items... that can be forgiven; however, I sometime felt you just weren't trying or didn't believe me. It's that simple. I never resorted to name calling, and I never threatened or asked for my money back, yet I received both. I'm just a sorry Canadian guy who wants a fucking missile launcher for a buddy's birthday is all.
Furthermore, sorry to all the grock customers out there. I had hoped to find some more open minded people who could relate, but apparently I'm the only asshole who would have become impatient. More fool me. I suppose I just get profiled and labeled a lot, and I've begun to take it personally.
For what it's worth grock, I actually don't hold any resentment. I don't feel you're shady or untrustworthy... you just have a short fuse, and you're a poor judge of character. You don't need to explain. I'm certain this incident hasn't hurt your business at all, as your prices are pretty good. I'm certain you even made a loyal buddy out there who received with his order my missing Missile set and two Night Creeper backpacks.
So I'm sorry it came to this, and I'm sorry to everyone who took the time away from replying in other Hisstank threads like "My cat is in heat... what do I do?" and "I'm the new girl on the 'Tank" and other intillectually stimulating subjects, for you won't be getting any more out of me over this. Thank you to Shogi and the others (you know who you are) for viewing this openly, honestly, and subjectively. Thank you for those who have offered to sell me the stuff I was looking for, but really, I don't think I want to do business with anyone who doesn't have a lofty name like "AMAZON.COM" for a while. I didn't ever want this to turn into a 'who has more friends' contest. I just want to let this go and move on.
P.S. grock: Thank you for being man enough to not leave me negative feedback. I don't expect an apology or anything, or for you to be able to find fault in yourself. I just wanted you to know how you made me feel, even if that meant making a public spectacle of the whole affair.
Bravo
