There's a story here just waiting to be told . . .

The lesson I learned today:

If you are buying an expensive item, only bid on ONE ITEM at a time. Individually, I had enough money to buy 3 separate amps, but winning 3 $550 auctions is not good.

Another lesson I learned:

Retracting a bid(apparently even for a legit reason, such as seller not mentioning damage to the item) makes you scum.

Another lesson I learned: When you were the only bidder on something and you retract your bid, the seller will do everything in his power to permanently blacklist you.

You pulled your bids?

You are scum. If you don't have the money, then don't bid, silly.

Bidding on 3 items at once? What is the logic behind that?

If you bid $500 on all 3, or $500 on just 1.......there's a LOT of people out there buying shit on ebay. IF it's worth more than $500, you win nothing. And if it's worth less....and your $500 bid stands.....you win it all.

So....yeah.....silly....never bid on more than of the same item.

I'm giving you negative feedback.

Oh no, Ravioli. You're definitely getting tagged as an e-Bay chump. One way to redemption is to apologize and explain that you learned your lesson. Reading the TTP banned forums is a great way to practice for that exercise. Isn't it fascinating how useful the TTP web site is?

Hahahaha....you should see the emails I got from the seller. He told me if he lived closer he would kick my ass...I think that's a little overboard... :lol:

No logic at all...I just got a debit card and it's WAY TOO EASY to bid on shit I can't afford with one little card number...I learned my lesson...

And now it's your turn to teach an ebay fucker a lesson.

Turn that email response into ebays security team, and watch your seller get suspended.

That's a terroristic threat, straight up. Threatening to hurt/kill you over the internet, regardless of the reason, is a no no.

Bust him, and be a hero.

Something from GF I intend to post here and on the Rogue forums:

A few months ago, I watched Microsoft's E3 conference, and I sternly remember the vice-president of Microsoft talk about all the good things about 360 and Live and Vista, but I caught something that I thought was a lie. I found that part on You-tube and it occurs at 4:10 in the following video.

YouTube - Microsoft E3 2007 Press Conference part 6

And here's the quote:

...and the launch of our most game-friendly operating system ever, Windows Vista."

I remembered at the time how many complaints that have come over this forum about the problems with Vista and game compatibility.

So, I want to put a poll together to really see if his claim holds water. Is Vista really the most game-friendly operating system Windows ever put out? Furthermore, is it the most game-friendly operating system out there period?

Please don't be biased in this poll.
