Do you question the guys who buy a $35 poster and then sell it on here for $100? Or those who bought a Benny and then sell it at $1000? Are they helping members out?

I think it's the timing, given that it was just released a couple weeks ago. If there's barely enough time for the ink to dry before you're trying to turn a profit, feathers will get ruffled. Not saying it's logical, but that's how these things seem to go.

I should have just stuck it on ebay and avoided the Lost Dogs police :roll: :roll: :roll:

It's not police, just people reacting within a community. It's sorta like being the person who brings a six pack to the party and drinks twelve. You're not gonna be reported for theft or banished from a group of friends, but it feels like mooching and a couple people will give you grief for that.

And, yeah, if you wanna flip something relatively quickly while minimizing flack, eBay is definitely the route to take.

i believe there is a 90 day no flip clause on lost dogs. as long as you wait 90 days, you generally don't get flak.


for the record...i really don't care either way.

I didn't know about the 90 days criteria. That's good to know, Kat should put that in the rules.

If you don't like the price or thread don't reply. It's like the one dude telling me what price I had to sell him my EV for.

I don't care if you're trying to make a profit. I am a Pearl Jam fan! Please don't go to eBay first - come here and ask whatever price you want for whatever item you're selling that is however old (released in 1998 - or 14 minutes ago) - I want first crack at it before the eBay'ers. I can't understand why we all wouldn't.

HA! My wife hates The Logical Shorty (interestingly, that was also the title to my never-released debut album) - I assume some members will too. No issue - tough skin.

I think we have two choices - understanding that people are going to ask what they want when selling their personal property. 1-Have knowledge of the sale....or 2-Don't. Which would you prefer?

the reason people raise a red flag on things like this (right or wrong) is to protect other 10C members from potential over payment of an item.

I didn't realize that you had (supposedly) paid this amount for that. When I saw them advertised, it wasn't near that amount.

Either way, it's not to try to sabotage any person's sale, or because I "don't like the thread", it's to make sure no one is taken advantage of.

tinz.

listen it just ticks me off when i made multiple efforts to buy this when they had them for sale and they sold out to quickly, it upsets me when i see someone on here buy and now trying to profit from something like this so soon, if this was months, or years from now i would expect an increase in cost over time like i do with posters, a benny and other rare items.. i just dont expect this nonsense from fellow ten clubers.. ive dealt with many people on here and feel among those ive never done wrong but hey just my two cents and i apologize if this has caused problems

the guy paid what he paid for it. Plus shipping. PLUS CUSTOMS fees.

I have dealt with this guy several times in the past. I honestly dont see this as him flipping this at all. He is trying to get his money back for the item, shipping and the customs fees. Not sure why people can't understand this. Customs seems to be the real thief in this situation, if you ask me.

Hey, i tried to get this several times. Demetrios posted the sale, and then the resale of this at least two or three times on fb. I missed it. life goes on...

So he sells it to you at face, and takes a loss on international shipping and customs? That makes ZERO sense to me. People seem to get so butt hurt over the simple fact that they get shut out of something, they fail to think rationally about the big picture.

Except he hasn't said this anywhere. The only number he quoted as his cost was $43 and snarked about people expecting a Benny for $35. He can sell for whatever he pleases, but if you're around long enough you know what sort of situations are going to get people riled up.

Hmm $43 isn't half of $65. But whatever, I can choose whatever price I want. If people think that isn't the right price they won't buy.

Going to jump on anyone else's threads for selling over face value? Go have a look at RSD threads. You'll be there all day. Move along.

this sort of attitude is part of what pisses people off about this kind of thing.

this was the edition that you had to buy in person at easy street on RSD? I'm dumb.

OKAY? So people are upset that he snarked...

Boyo is from manchester, UK. whether he mentioned it or not, it doesnt take a brain surgeon to realize that he would pay inflated customs fees. However, as usual, i obviously gave people here too much credit...

two other people, from the uk mind you, pointed this out. Yet people seemed to ignore the posts...

he is from the UK, and was lucky not to get slammed

I believe the price is very close to what it was(?) plus I believe bouo79 had to pay customs for it?

funny how people hear what they wanna hear and see what they wanna see.

I agree with the rest of your post. But this? Come on, man. How does the knowledge of customs fees of a foreign nation show someone's intelligence or lack thereof? You do realize that 99.99999% of people on this website have never sent anything to the UK, right? How they fuck would they know that there are inflated customs fees there?

Experience and intelligence are completely different things.

All boyo had to answer with in the first place was "I had to pay inflated customs fees, hence the price". and that would have been that.

Online? Not a smarty... Just wondering.

i guess just by reading any other post on here about people bitching about shipping on shirts, deluxe box sets, and ANYTHING else in the 10C Shop. Every thread that pops up someone is bitching about shipping prices so they'd rather buy from elsewhere, and i have seen several posts about custom fees.

I recall a thread i thought were Dimi had to let his local post office just keep a 7 inch single because the custom fees were so high. maybe it wasnt dimi in particular, and maybe ive got my facts about this particular one a bit skewed, but it is mentioned enough here. Its mentioned here a lot! i guess it really doesnt have to do with intelligence. but people get blinders on here when they feel they need to attack someone. i give people on here too much credit for acting rational about things. Unfortunately that is never the case.

And no, he didnt mention that but he did automatically go on the defensive when first reply said he was inflating the price. cant say that i blame him
