More Wackadoos

So the group I belong to has had some wackadoos taking over the board again.

One came right out of the gate swinging proclaiming that anybody still selling on ebay and posting the truth (I.E. that other sites don't have traffic) are "trolls" and "scumbags". This troll and scumbag posted in reply with some backup and he disappeared suddenly with all his posts. Apparently he blocked me. I am so sad. Two can play that game. I blocked him in return.
He now follows me on Etsy. Not creepy at all, lol.

Then yesterday, another guy went off the deep end because he consigned some shit at a brick and mortar auction house and was appalled that nice stuff was selling for cheap. Duh. How do you think some of us get our inventory and are able to sell it on ebay for such ridiculously low prices and still make profit to pay our bills? These people are usually consigning to get rid of shit, or someone has died and they need to liquidate the estate. Some buy Wally World pallets cheap and sell the contents, not giving a shit about price, because they got so much in bulk.

He then goes on about how sellers are getting screwed because shit is selling so cheap and sellers should start a union, and standardize prices etc etc.

Sorry dude. Not all sellers are the screwees, some are the screwers. What about when a toy company or fashion house puts out a Target exclusive and some predatory asshole seller buys up all that new shit and posts it on ebay or some other online venue at 3-10 times the price and then when it doesn't sell, returns it? Or buys up all the black Friday cheap shit (after assaulting a 5'0 poor woman who just wanted a 40 inch TV for a price she could afford - $200. I am talking about a 6'0 200+ pound man here, he shoved me with the TV, which I actually had my hands on first. I waited in line too, asshole!) and tries to sell it for more on ebay/craigslist, etc? You going to form a union to stop that too?

 Ebay has been slow. I practically hear crickets each time I open the page to check sales. Yesterday, there was a small amount of life in th...
