It's not CAG that has changed since I joined, it's me. I was going over my feedback that I have from various trades and deals over the last five years and I noticed a trend from the beginning up until maybe a year or two ago.

Many of the feedback said I am a 'nice guy' and that just doesn't seem to mesh with the opinion I'm sure more than a few of you now have about me. Sure I keep in constant contact throughout a deal and make sure everyone is still happy with their deal, but it's been more about getting back at least what I spent for the item(s) and not so much trying to help people.

I tend to put 'eBay value' above making a deal and getting items that others possibly can't find into their hands and I seem to think that everybody who I'm dealing with is going to be some reseller who I helped out by getting them inventory so they didn't have to expend their gas to do so.

Save for my hoarding of the copies of Uncharted from TRU recently every time I've grabbed a ton of the same item in recent years it's been for flipping purposes or to resell and try to make a few bucks on.

So now I find myself at a crossroads. Do I try and go back to where I help folks out and hope for the same consideration in return or do I continue down this path and go 3 months between deals like has been happening as of late?
