Okay, I know this is kind of lame but I will post the contents of some pm I got from a newbie. I just can't understand his reaction and I think it is really weird, not to say funny... Here's the deal : I am selling a couple of RxH lot since 2 weeks, without any luck. This member offered me to buy 3 of these figures and I told him I would need to find a buyer for the 3 others figures included in the lot. Still unlucky/ Three days later, I put the lots on ebay...and I got these pm as a reaction....the first one has been send 5h after I put the lots on ebay... I don't even want to reply, it is going to be useless... Please, tell me that I'm not the only one who got such pm ??? please....
Dibs on This shit cracked me up. I don't understand half the crap that comes out of people's mouths these days. I tend to ignore and drop it.
i like a lot of the newbies. it takes a bit of time to show who you are on skullbrain, so maybe this guy will improve with age. if he already owns all these figures, but just wants doubles for trading that irks me a bit. i know i'm not on the same side as everyone on this, but i'd rather a newbie with a small but growing collection get the sale over a toy hoarder who will just dump it later if it can't be traded. here's the main point: if you haven't paid for something yet, you do not have a deal.
Look at it this way, you got some free psycho-analysis "....a manipulative response that reflects an arrogant imature psychology. Your responses are pathetic"
Yeah, I have received some pretzel logic regarding sales from some newbs before. What is common is the overblown sense of entitlement. These are the same folks who beg & plead for shit to be held as if their lives depended upon the purchase and then flake out (usually by never contacting you again). I always figure these are the 13 year olds that come over from ** and can't follow through because Mommy won't let them use her paypal account.

I've pmed with quite a few noobs recently. The ones I've talked to seem cool enough. It's a changing landscape. When I joined I was scared of getting chewed out so I was always careful with my posting, but it seems like a lot of the noobs joining now don't have that worry. Maybe it's because they're coming from other forums- and just doing here exactly what they're accustomed to doing. It doesn't bother me, actually I find it entertaining. Noobs acting the fool keep things lively.
I will agree that you should have sent him/her a PM stating that you hadn't found a second buyer and were taking it to eBay. And in that one weird PM they genuinely seem to have moved on after the "fuck off" paragraph. Beyond that though - wow. Also, for some reason (PM exchanges?) I thought you are from France. If that's the case, clearly your english is very good, but perhaps a little was "lost in translation". Maybe I'm completely wrong about France though.
My only question for the newbie is what he WOULD lick ass for if not for toys? Don't be embareassed to let us know...we are all family here
newbs are not the problem here, assholes are. for the record, I will lick ass for toys...if it prevents nutjobs like that guy from getting them.
No, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the english (other than a spelling/grammatical error or two ) - just a hypothesis based on a possible fictitious memory.
Well, I agree that I should have send him an email about this, usually I do it after I put the items on ebay (in case the guy is still interested). In that case, I don't understand the flaming within 6 hours I posted the auction...man, I have to sleep sometimes Anyway, all in all it's not a big deal, I find it quite entertaining, but I assume that the forum's population has now changed a lot more than what I thought. Are we dinosaurs or what ? Oh, and thanks for the poem
one of the very first RxH i ever purchased as a newb was from Jean-Luc 4 years ago. clear purple akro. still have it...!
