He's using a thread that is meant for fellow collectors to help eachother out as a way to advertise his ebay auction! He wouldnt be a scalper if he had a "buy-it-now" of $24.99. If he were here to help he'd PM one of the many people on here who have said they are looking for a set and sell it to them for cost plus shipping. That is what a lot of us do.
Call it what you want. I call him a scalper. He should advertise his crap somewhere else. |

Dude! Get the hell outta here with your ebay auctions. This thread is for fellow tankers to help eachother out, not for scalpers. If you were interested in helping out fellow tankers you'd offer to sell someone a set at cost plus shipping. That is what this community if for. I held my tongue the last time you posted but this is getting ridiculous!! Get outta here with this crap!!

I didnt say it was the end of the world. I just hope for higher standards within this community. I have had people help me out within these threads in the past. I've helped others. I've never lurked in one of these threads and then posted a link to my ebay auction and said: "Hey, I know you guys cant find these things, but I've found more than enough. So, you can hop into my auction and help drive up my profit." Just not what I think this community should be about. No need to get sarcastic. Just sharing my view. |

Ugh
Maybe if you spent more time on the boards Most don't have an issue with it. Not sure why you do. Sounds like sour grapes because you can't find them. He's not doing anything wrong so take a deep breath amd chiilax |

Sigh! If he didn't go and pick them up, then someone else would have and chances are that person wouldn't be a part of the Tank and wouldn't be giving the opportunity to the folks here.

And actually a fellow tanker from this very thread hooked me up with a set for just over cost. So its not "sour grapes" champ. Perhaps you should take your own advice and "chillax" and let me have my opinion. |

Im not trying to start a flame war here. But, put it this way; if you were in a Ross store and you see this guy rolling out with three full sets of these things and you say to him, "Hey dude, can I get a set of those? Do you really need all three sets?" And he responds, "No I dont. But dont worry, I'm gonna give you the opportunity to bid on them on ebay." Tell me you wouldnt think he's a scalper. Come on. I just dont get it. I thought the purpose of this thread was to help eachother out. My idea of helping fellow tankers is to sell or trade at cost/equal value. Maybe I'm wrong. I just didnt think it was cool to try to make a buck off eachother. If I'm wrong then perhaps I should be hanging out somewhere else. |

How on earth is anyone making a scalper profit at 24.99 for a set of 4. That's not even cost with tax. Never mind that you can lose up to 18-20% of that cost to eBay and PayPal from fees. And what if this person simply feels using eBay as a intermediary is safer then just verbally agreeing to something and then mailing it. Ive seen tankers ask for PayPal gift payments which leaves the seller no recourse if something goes wrong. So he could be doing himself and any potential buyer a favor this way. And I'm still amazed at the sense of entitlement in this thread that comes out whenever someone isn't just PMing someone else for cost plus $2 shipped.
And my last thought, if you don't like the price the sets are going for then stop bidding them up and boycott eBay altogether and have your friends do it too. Cause people have been bidding these up from $60 to over $100, during the last few weeks and by volume some of them had to be tankers. |
