"Firesales" Rant

yep as a seller it really chaffs my hole when you give them a price way below ebay (minus fees, exchange, discount etc.) then they turn around and ask for a further discount or "could you add this"
fortunately I can probably count on 2 fingers the amount of time it's happened to me on here in recent times and the deal/s never eventuated. well of course that's not counting @drob50 cos he likes to chaff my hole for fun
I already watched @ozballer23 's movie! You and I both know it wasn't me that "chaffed your hole"
"i can buy it cheaper on ebay"
That argument sh!ts me too, if you can buy it on ebay cheaper do it! What alot of people seem to not realise is that the majority of lower sale prices are due to sellers not sending to Aus so you can now factor in atleast another $20 for registered postage to Aus plus international bidders driving pricing up. Seems to me like everyone in this hobby wants something for nothing these days, stop being a bunch of tight arse whingers!

With that being said, I'd agree with that MOST of the time, but being a fire sale, wouldn't you as a buyer e
Expect it to be cheaper than ebay? otherwise what's the point? there are currently firesale thread with prices almost double some of ebay.

I agree with you 100% i just had to vent as im sick of the 'ballin' around here lately. I figured if you were going to have a blow up i'd join in
This is the truth @drob50 , it was proven on Mythbusters that a Pin can penetrate glass given enough thrust

I've even had someone try to argue with me that you can't bring postage into the cost of a card when negotiating. I mean how else are you going to get the bloody thing. Of course its part of the cost.
I haven't done hardly any trading on here in the last few months due to my personal circumstances but the last one I did it was a real positive experience.
@AusRam bought a card off me way above what the last sale was on ebay simply because he felt it was worth more than that. I mean it wasn't high end or anything i.e. sub $30 but still it really got me smiling. Even when I tried to say I was willing to sell it much lower he insisted with his offer. Whilst this site has always been the best out there it can only improve with more members like him.
