[quote name='MikeBastard']I know you've pm'd starmask and all that, but I still find it cute how he's on your list of people we should do business with. Maybe you haven't gotten around to changing it, so I might have a haste spell casted upon me. At the same time though, if you had time to PM him then you had time to take your vouch of him down as well. My opinion obviously doesn't matter as much as yours does on here and rightfully so. I just know you care about your good name and you don't need to be saying people should do business with some greedy asshole who agreed to follow very simple rules and wouldn't do it.
You're not stupid. You saw his list and saw his techniques. He was already ripping people off on shipping. You say you lose money on shipping often, which I believe. You ship from across the world where as this guy is shipping from, what, middle America?
Lastly, you should add a rule that someone hosting a lowball approved by you has the spirit and integrity that you do. I know it's hard to enforce, but people were bitching about this guys practices before he got mega shady with new end dates and his "friends" bidding.
Mega lastly, just because a few greedy cocksuckers use dv8's awesome lowball idea and don't have the same integrity to agree by the rules and follow through doesn't take anything at all away from dv8. This is how scams/shady behavior goes on.[/QUOTE]
Actually I didn't change anything for a couple of reasons. First of all, I was exchanging PMs with him at 1am. I actually needed to go to sleep since I had to work this morning, but I really felt that I needed to get the issue taken care of before it festered overnight. Overall, it took around an hour to get sorted out via PM. You may have noticed from punctuation that the message posted was not quite typed by Starmask. LOL
Secondly, I didn't change it because I didn't think anyone was perusing the list since I closed it...
Guess I should fix it!
I wish there was a way to keep the lowballs as close to the original as possible. Unfortunately, people don't often read through everything and sometimes get stuck with ridiculous shipping and such in other people's sales just because they expect them to be exactly like mine.
When the new list is made in a few days, I hope that I can have an even clearer expectation of the dv8mad lowballs for everyone.
And finally, Mr Dude, sorry, they are right. I had posted a minimum feedback point simply to make everyone feel safer. It's gone now since the list closed and will more than likely be adjusted for the next list. I would recommend building your feedback with some good trades before holding a lowball anyway as typically, the ones held by people with very low feedback get much fewer bids. You are only doing yourself a favor by building up a good rep beforehand.
