Ok so I just want to talk to you all about some problems I have been faced with on OCT.
1) Why do people insist on trying to rip you off all the time? They either think you are 10 years old and treat you like it or they never disclose any imperfections on cards you trade with them.
Most of us are mature (by mature I mean adults) collectors here, for various reasons we love collecting, but be respectful, have some common decency in this community. Why do it to someone else if you don't want it done to you?
2) I am sick of people who you do a bucket load of work to help their collections by finding cards by searching through your thousands, only to turn around and say, 'oh I'm not interested anymore or Oh I got them in another trade or that's too much money.' Have some blinking respect for the collector who has gone out of his/her way to help you and in the end wastes his/her bloody time!!! If your serious about achieving a collection, NEVER GO INTO A TRADE HALF HEARTED!, You either want the cards or you don't, don't screw people around, be honest if your not sure about it, but sure as hell dont make them spend hours under false pretense and trying to help only to waste their time...What kind of person do they think you are now? How is this going to be encouragement for future collectors or collections?? Be ready to pay some money to complete your collections cause people have lives too and it's wasn't free for them to get those cards nor find them, they sacrifice their time for you so grow up and PAY UP!
3) Finally if you wish to trade with me, then dont waste my time and actually trade. I will bad rep anyone from now on who is a waste of time in a big nice flashy post in the general forum. If you send me cards with imperfections I have no knowledge or agreement on, expect the same thing. I'm sick of the excuses. 'Oh i'm sorry, i didn't realize'. I'm sick of time wasters.....I will not be so nice anymore....
I fell your pain mate, i started specifically asking the condition of cards a year ago. I still get cards of poor condition sent from time to time. But have only ever had 1 major problem with an OCT memeber and he is not around these days.
I find ebay is fairly bad, peoples opinions of condition vary greatly. There is also alot of young memebers on this site, so you may have to take into account.
Don't let a couple bad experiences ruin the hobby for you
It happens from time to time on here but usually only with the newer members. I have only had 1 bad experience since being on OCT and that was a new member.
I'd just like to say most if not all of the Bball guys are great around here
Yeah I know, I'm just hoping a few of these offenders read this post and actually take note of it. I just properly unwrapped a AFL DPS I received from a member who shall remain nameless a few months ago to notice it was damaged with 1.5cm surface dent when declared mint. I traded many jsy cards for it that WERE in MINT condition and all I got is a dud I'll be lucky to get 5 bucks for now...
LOL, u might wanna consider what you just said and aim it at yourself.... I sent a few pms to you about some tazos, still waiting on your reply, damn you wasted my time!!
Its a forum with lots of young people, you either gota like it or lump it...
On the mint condition thing, that i fully agree to, any imperfections should cleary be stated. Hate trading cards only to find the ones your recieving are worthless!!

No NYTE.... wasted 20min of my time going through me needs and trades and he never ever got back to me... why make a huge post about wanting to trade them then never folow through... waste of peoples time if you ask me
Ooooo some big nasty popped out, good post least some body told it how it was. As its been said in recent posts dont let those people bother your collecting. I dont trade with those people. Rip me off once good on you youll never get a thing from me ever. My pride is more important than some losers word. I dont make many trades anymore because im so carefull. Least I know when I do I know the seller or trader already and I know ill be getting the business. Hope you get better trades in the future.
It's a hobby, don't trade if it upsets you so much.
And some advice - leave appropriate feedback if you have a bad deal. No need to create thousands of threads calling everyone out - it will only piss us off.
Now that you have that off your chest, i'm closing this thread.
