Um just me or is something weird here?
« on: May 05, 2012, 10:19:16 AM »
  Um yea been checking out the boards here and there. Watching a lot of you guys bashing the new guys who only know ebay. Talking trash showing your mentality. Not giving the new guys a chance or even the time of day. Well cept blue he is the coolest. I do wish for prices like you all talk about would be nice, great ect. Aint going to happen, it is the way it is. Anywho I am laughing at all the jerks on here, AND WHO IS ADVERTISING ON YOUR PRECIOUSE BOARDS? lol lol lol Really. Your beloved boards are being overrun by ebay. WOOT WOOT and there ya have it peeps like zeta (from what i can tell the supreme jerkoff here) is being supported by the beloved ebay. Ya ya prob be banned for life, but not like anyone really would give someone like me the time of day anyways. What these boards could be is awesome, what they are not so much.

we dont object to noobs
we all use ebay, but often cant/wont buy the games we want on ebay, due to price.
we have no issue with ebay auctions that start low, just dont try to justify charging huge prices for stuff just because its turbo/PCE related

Things get heated in the ebay thread, there's no question. I don't think anyone's been treated unfairly though. If it concerns you, avoid that thread. There's lots of other discussion going on that is in no way hostile. Why not tell us what you've been playing? Or ask about the system capabilities? Maybe pontificate on some obscure part of the system's history? I checked your post history and no one has been hostile towards you. In fact, most of your posts are thanking members for helping you out. Be friendly and helpful and you'll receive the same in return. :)

Oh i have not had a problem cept being almost totally ignored till now. Have talked to a total of three peeps here um yea probably because I bought from them, well again except bluebmw. I was smart and just watched for awhile yaknow see how things are,and carefully put up a to buy / trade list with xtra stuff I have and wow not one single post. Did not dare to put up a sell list lol. But wait didnt someone sell or trade some of the stuff I had on my list? Na couldnt be that would meen yall have the tendancy to either totally rip someone a new one or just ignore new peeps. Must just be me, oh and the stuff I am talking about was not the ebay thread. Some of these guys took a blood oath or something against "evil bay". I try to be nice that is the way my mommy taught me but some of yall well lol yea whatever. Um and no I am not from New Jersy. Had a lot of this stuff from the 80's and thought I would start collecting again, but wow the prices are deff crazy. And to see what I am talking about look at the sell threads.

I can't fault members for being apprehensive to trade or sell hard to find stuff, particularly to someone who has less than 10 posts. I've got my own WTB thread and I think it's pretty well known that I'll pay high prices for games. I've been here for a few years, have several hundred posts and I haven't received any offers for the games I'm seeking in that thread. I have, however, found some of the games I was looking for by monitoring the for sale threads here. I'm in no way offended by that, and I continue to respect the community.

The choice is obviously up to you, but I think if you made an effort to contribute to the forum beyond buying stuff you'll probably find that people are much more accepting. Like I said, try establishing yourself by conversing about the system itself. Why do you love it? When did you start playing it? etc

Well, I don't know what to tell you. Yeah, there's a stigma against paying high prices on ebay. I won't lie though, I've done so several times and I've had it out with other forum members over that. I don't think any of them are a$$holes though. Their concerns are valid and I still respect them even if we don't see eye to eye on everything.

OK, good! Now let's actually talk about the system. Not what you want for it, not why you think PCEFX consists of a bunch of elitists, but rather discussion on the system itself. :)

Welcome to the boards, Now reasons why i dont buy or trade with noobs on the board.

They havent shown they can be trusted. Im sure alot of people on here would buy or trade with noobs but how do we know someone with 1 post and its a sell or buy post is here to be apart of this forum for years to come and not just here to complete a set or worse buy cheap games to resell on ebay. Yes it has happened in the past.

I really dont respond to peoples WTB threads ONLY because if you keep your eyes open on here you can find your games. talk to people and get to know them and they will keep eyes peeled for you on games you need.

Also most noobs like to bash people from the start, Everyone ive got stuff off all have been awesome and it makes me wanna give back in big ways. What most noobs fail to do is introduce themselfs on here before asking for games. Alot of us are wary about scam artists on here looking to be a fake friend and BAM leave then we see the game we sold them on ebay for $300 when we sold it for $50.

The reason people jump on resellers on here is they cant be trusted to buy and sell from. I know when i make a trade or sell/raffle i want the game to go to someone thats gonna enjoy the f*ck out of it and HOPEFULLY when they get bored or move on offer it to the forums first.

But again welcome to the forums

Not suggesting anything about you in particular, but here's a true story: Once, I paid $80 for a bunch of Dreamcast stuff to a new member on a forum I frequented. In short, the guy took the money and disappeared.

People are going to be skeptical. As they should be. Don't take it personally.

I agree.  Hard to be sympathetic when the guy starts whining right off the bat.  That and his posts reads like he's a high schooler.

Well wel the rabid dogs come out of the woodwork, lol. Actually this post started off because so many hate ebay and yet  it is supported by ebay and I thought that was really funny. Lets see four peeps trying to start a conversation and five ripping a new one. Just because someone does not agree with you does not make them a highschooler. And Bernie, really? You think your so cool showing off your beer and gf like trophies, telling peeps to go to hell like you soooo special. Have some class dude. Tatsujin so this has happened before? Not by me, maybe something more to it? Lets see so you guys think that you are a gang and everyone has to pass an initiation? That it? Yall cant trust me well thats ok, I did trust yall for the most part. Sent some stuff off for repairs and mods, he refused payment till I was satisfied. Mutual trust a good thing. Sent a couple grand off for some stuff to a diff member. Was sweating all kinds of stuff I tell ya. But it came in all good. So some trustworthy members but crap like the posts I am getting now, how am I supposed to trust yall? I do understand not wanting to sell because might get a profit on ebay, and loosing stuff out of the "loop",but I dont understand the not trading part. If you both get what you want .... Yea dont understand that. And if I sold on ebay I would not have all this crap? stuff? gold? http://s1248.photobucket.com/profile/CAStutzman (hope I did this right never done link before) Would I? Yea you make people jump through hoops to be a member of the "gang" for the most part wont even acknowledge them till they do. Guess I am just a bastard wanting games and I dont really fit in. I dont care how fast the spindle turns or how many megawatts it take to power one. I just want it to work and play games. Thought maybe find someone to trade stuff with and maybe buy a few things, but hey whatever.

Trust is earned, and a majority don't know you from Adam...so you expect to be trusted with open arms....especially after  douchey posts like these...good luck.

Funny (as usual) almost all new members have no issues, it's the idiots that come on flailing their arms and spouting nonsense that have the issues...coincidence?
