read that post kyle. then tell me your not being hypocritical.
"So let me just put it this way if you dont want the card, do not comment on someone's price of the card. Just butt out and move on guys..."
sorry but thats exactly what youve done here, and what everyone else does when they open up one of these threads where a guy is selling a card for a high price on ebay. and Graham said exactly the same thing in the first sale thread. yet it seems exactly as shoes has said, because it is chadjaja, then no ones opinion is allowed but for someone on ebay its open season.
its got nothing to do with the price of the card, whether selling a common for $20 is more or less of a rip off than selling an auto for $50 is completely irrelevant. its the fact that opinion is disallowed for one situation, but completely acceptable for another.

No it's the way you go about it...
Tell me, if you were to go and buy something from Justdabest or sonny, would you say to them "you only paid $x for those boxes, theres no way im paying your asking price, i only want to pay what you paid your us seller for them , oh and dint include shipping because that shouldnt be figured into the cost"
Would you?

Shoes I get you mate and I don't have a problem with you voicing your opinion, i just think the For Sale thread is not the place for it. Open one in the Heated Discussion forum......I mean I had some Memorabilia for sale and you & Justin decided it was a good place to crack jokes about Ben Cousins.....funnny yes but I don't think my for sale thread was the appropriate place for that. Of course I said that and you just ignored me which is why I think you are being ignorant !
The point is how does his opinion belong on a for sale thread after time and time again its been said post if you are interested and if not keep your thoughts to yourself or pms with others.
You guys just don't get it. Making a small profit on a card is no crime and this one by no means is a huge profit based on what i paid. Don't worry I wont be selling here anymore if this is what i get for doing so.
Got no problems with opnions JZA but one thread is asking for them and the other is not. Simple. Some just can't help themselves and time and time again prove that they are just an ass. Don't want to name names but this person has a S and h and o and e and s in their username and is generally thought to be a pain by members and the Admins of the site. ;-)
Seems free enterprise is not allowed at ozcards if you are talking about censorship.

Shoes said:You dont know me very wellask Sonny
and as stated before it had nothing to do with price as you just wrote its about voicing an opinion in one thread and being muted in another thats all , but im over it its a non issue
That wasnt a response to you, but to JZA.
Shoes - yes you and Sonny may have that sort of relationship and may be a bad example in your case. I'll change it for you- would you say that to nwcardsupplies if you wanted to buy something from him?
My guess would be no, and that's the only problem I had with the way JZA bought it up in Chads first post.
If you don't agree then should we all post our cost price without shipping on any cards that are sold on this site to ensu that members arent making *shock horror* a few bucks on a card?
JZA-you continually have posted that others are being hypocritical, but can you honestly say you've never made a profit of any kind on any card?

boxes are very different from cards though, their value is not as fluctuating. you can get a card that is worth $50 for $2 on ebay. box prices are more inflexible and will generally never sell for much cheaper than RRP, so i wouldnt try and barter with a box price. anyway, this situation was different, chad has 2 of these cards, yet chooses to sell a double at a high (IMO) price for profit, which goes against his attitude of 'help each other out'.
and i didnt say it like that at all, youve twisted my words. i asked if the price was flexible and gave some info that would support a decision by chad to lower his asking price. i never said he should make no profit, but the 60-70% markup was exorbitant to me. and the funny thing was Graham, while you went off at me "who gives a shit what chad payed for it?" thats exactly what chad utilised to justify his price, saying he payed $32US yada yada yada. so through trying to defend your buddy, youve actually contradicted him.
as for shipping, i think thats bloody ridiculous, and i guarantee every single person would back me up. put your hands up who would be happy to pay the equivalent in $AU what someone else payed from the US. if you all saw an auction with $8 postage in australia, everyone would think "what a rip off!" NOBODY would think "well he may have payed a lot for shipping from the US for this card, so thats fair enough". shipping should not factored into the cost and thats just common sense. i mean, if someone got a steal on a card, would you expect them to sell that card at the small price they payed for it? of course not, so why does the it apply in reverse: chad overpayed for a card, therefore anyone who buys it must overpay too. nonsense.
That argument makes no sense JZA, so youre saying that nobody should charge shipping costs on top of their base cost? Ridiculous.
By what youre saying that would mean a card shop for example buys a case of cards for lets say $1000us (for 12 boxes) Shipping would cost them say $50 (just guessing never bought a case
) so thats $1050 for 12 boxes By your logic they should sell each box for $83.33US (or $116.67aus) and not factor in the cost of shipping? thats stupid
Shipping has to be included in the cost of things otherwise everyone will end up selling for a loss and people will stop selling
(and i know you said boxes are different but they were easier to work as an example)
WOW MAN.. this has blown up big time...:shock:
