Venting disappointment.

And, really, I can understand that, and maybe BW's post might influence/encourage sellers here to take that bit of extra time to dust off their figures to be sold in order to make a transaction a little more pleasant.

So we should all start a thread for every instance we have buyer's remorse?

If you're unhappy with a seller or store you'll get better results bringing it up to them rather than passive agressively ranting begind their back.

Names weren't named but OP is clearly calling out one user in particular. If it were me, yes i'd be embarrassed but that would just anger and frustrate and make me think the buyer is a dickhead, rather than evaluate whether or not my figures are "too dusty". Politeness and civility make things easy.

IMo, this thread is phenomenally more rude than selling a dirty figure..

Oh hi Mark.

Someone isn't anally retentive about cleaning inside the ratchets and for some odd reason, several people are willing to judge the person who hasn't even had a chance to defend themself.
And the OP reeks of BS.

And to honest here, this really grinds my gears.

Sorry I don't see the logic in your logic. The simple fact is "dusty" may have been an inaccurate term for the the OP but were you there to witness the time he took to say that he didn't? You are referring about someone getting bullied and yet you have flamed this thread repeatedly and saying he is lying and reeks of BS with some foolish statement about watermelons and toilets. Say your piece and move on.

Thank you finally someone that gets it. I am by ni means calling out the seller if I had wanted to do that I would have. Unlike some here I am not a keyboard warrior and dont hide behind my monitor. If you go back to the original post I was venting frustration about sellers in general based on my experiemce. Calling me out as a bully makes no sense. How am I bullying anyone??? you stated before I was playing vixtim so which is it the vixtim or the bully??? or is it passive aggressive lol "give me your milk money, wait here is my cookies" figure it out and if youve got nothing of validity to add take your flames elsewhere.

For someone who screams logic you don't seem to be using it. The only bullilying I see here is from you.

Misrepresenting the OP, picking strawman arguments, that's some intelctually dishonest stuff man, diametrically opposite of what logic is.

Got a point? Make it and move along.

Y'all can stop clutching your pearls now. The guy's discussing negative experiences in generalities: nobody's being bullied or called out.

*Facepalm* bullied?

Sweet Jeezzuzzz

I've only seen you escalate this conversation 79transam.
Calling out his BS?
Do you know him?
Have you had a chat about his collecting habits?
Is 2.5 hours too much care for you? Or are you saying he would never take 2.5 ours of his life to clean a TF?

Dude wanted to share some experiences and thoughts with the community. That's cool with me. People do it here all the time, I don't agree with all of it but I don't troll it up.

Bah... for the record I hate dusty a$$ transformers as well. (apologies to any TF's I've sold which may have been dusty lol)

Oh? Then where are you, Lawnmower man?

Ummmm no actually it was a specific person...

Calling me out as a bully makes no sense. How am I bullying anyone???

By rallying several boardies to your exaggerated cause, creating a hostile environment that is unlikely for the seller to want to defend his side of the story.

you stated before I was playing vixtim so which is it the vixtim or the bully???

"Playing" victim is the narcissists method to manipulate. Psychology 101

or is it passive aggressive lol "give me your milk money, wait here is my cookies" figure it out and if youve got nothing of validity to add take your flames elsewhere.

Anyways, bud, I think you owe this guy an apology. All we've seen so far is accusation, zero proof, contradictory statements and a changing story.

This topic is unfairly about who not to BUY from...

I think it becomes a topic about who not to SELL to...
