Not my project but thanks anyways for the warm and welcome regards.

I’m sure the admins there can learn from previous failures.

There are all sorts of ways to try to run a site. Every decision an admin makes has pros and cons that they try to weigh, just like this very thread about "dibs". But someone is always going to be disappointed with any decision that gets made. My facetious point about it being all sunshine and rainbows is more about the people/community, not the site rules. The main problem this community has isn't with the admin or how the site is run. It's with the people. It doesn't matter if it's Chip Talk, PCF, Chip Donkeys, FB groups, or whatever other venture someone wants to try out next, if you have the same people posting the same bullshit nothing is going to change. When I started Chip Donkeys, it was only intended to be a small place for local Bay Area chippers to hang out and BS with each other. It quickly turned into something else and I learned a lot along the way. Building a site is fun. Allowing people to post on it though? Fuuuuggg that.
 
I have used "PM coming". Mostly because it is quite fast to type and it is meant to show interest and most people want a reply in the thread before a PM comes in. It only means that I probably have a lot more to type, so I will save it for the PM. It certainly does not mean anything nefarious.
Solid way to express interest publicly especially when you have questions or caveats about the sale/payment etc.
 
I’m sad I missed the CD days. At least we have the other other site now. Once that one gets flowing. Or once the other other other one (non xenforo) gets setup.

Now that people can’t buy chips here publicly and folks are going quiet, just historicals and pictures keeping some folks. No difficulty regarding market penetration other than # of users, and once you start uploading membership, it’ll only get easier.

Also, if you want to start the other site off on the right foot, perhaps you should respect PCF by not posting about it publicly? That's pretty bullshit of you to try to "subtly" advertise it in the forums. When I started Chip Donkeys, I asked everyone to not post about it publicly on PCF out of respect.

Because you were competing? Or you made it out of a hissy fit? Good for you. That’s not the intent at all here I believe. It’s simply to test the waters with blessings to see if things can coexist down the line.

But you probably know better than me. I’ll move on, it was fun for a second in this illgotten thread. Thanks for coming by to set everyone straight!
 
I’m just getting tired of all these special fucking requests. If one of these is you, I’m not talking about you, just the sum of it all is annoying.

In recent payments, can I do installments, can I pay via Amazon gift card, can I send a visa gift card, can I pay in part with these chips, do you have chip xyz that I can see it with. And these are AFTER they’ve asked for the chips publicly.

Again I’m not annoyed by doing it. I’ll say fine every time to help out, sure pay installments, pay via some card, whatever. But the fact that it’s so prevalent, and everyone’s so okay with putting sellers in this position.

Seriously, this “community” bs has come and gone, and those left holding onto it are too often taken for a ride or put in awkward positions. I feel like I work at McDonald’s making special orders all day.
But please can you tldr; this for me?

Sigh. All of this simply reminds me of why I try to stay out of the classifieds for the most part. Too much of a minefield. IMO, the "dibs" system is not really compatible with a blacklist.

Like others, I have my own blacklist of people I won't sell to. They likely wouldn't agree with my reasoning, but I still won't sell to them. If the person feels I've unfairly blacklisted them, I could be pulled into a public debate about how I'm a bad seller who doesn't honour dibs. Why would I open myself up to that?
 
Alright I’m taking another stab at this. If this doesn’t get some ab muscles goin, I have no idea what will.

 
There are like two or three (maybe more) threads going on about the weekend’s activities. As a (the? Was I the only one) person that was caught up in both dibs controversies, I think y’all are missing the most important point.

And that’s that I have a wanted ad for WTHC 1s, and one of you bastards needs to sell me some. I’ve got a Loch Ness monster, some cookie chips, a broken down lawn mower, and some shop towels. You won’t get a better deal than that at Sears.

Seriously though, please sell me some chips.

Please submit your best offer via PM and I will think about whether I will sell or auction

I’d say too soon, but folks like @Eloe2000 @jpietrella and @JK_Poker were so kind after it all happened, that it’s hard to stay mad.

To be a bit more serious though, run your sales however you want. Just be up front about how you’re doing it (I’ve talked to Tommy about ways to make that easier). For better or worse, dibs sales are the norm around here right now. If you want to do something else, you should probably say so up front. Other than that, treat folks buying from you, buying from others, and selling with the respect and integrity you’d want from them if you switched places. It’s really pretty simple.

But most importantly, sell me some chips. I can’t stress that enough.
 
yep they called dibs like a chump. Dibs means fuck all to me, this entire site got the panties in a knot just because they thought they were getting these super RARE chips. Even people who were not in the deal felt like they had to spread the toxicity feeling the butthurt with their fellow chippers. The majority of your people are the blond lady and yes, i am that cat. The fat cat with the chedda. You all claim to have morals but you have to remember one thing. I am not here to make friends, i am not here to give you Deals on these amazing chips. I am here to cash out my investment. Yes im here only for the money.

this community is so self righteous. You all claim a chip is worth x but you fail to realize that chips are a commodity. So supply and demand are in effect weather you like it or not. You all whine about people flipping chips for profit. Why do you hate capitalism so much? Do you hate apple for selling computers more than they paid for them? Do you hate all collectable store owners just as much?

the only thing you guy should be whining about is getting ripped off. Someone steals your money that sucks, someone offered more money for a rack of chips, deal with it. The price just went up.

Now to be clear in my situation , I didnt accept any offers from anyone initially. (except for the friendly german). So i really dont know why you guys are so damn salty over my chips. Local offered to buy my aztars, CdI, and CdM chips. Aztars were confirmed sold and im assuming the local guy didnt want to buy $6 chips.. Then i had about 20 offers on the WTHC chips and i didnt want to deal with going through and seeing whos buying what etc.. Luckily i got an PM that simply said, whole lot.. How much? I responded whats your offer and then he said, well you ad says $2060 i went back and did the math, it was $2160 so i told him $2160 and he replied sure. I accepted his offer, (these messages were pretty much instant) so i when i asked how do you want to settle the transaction, it was radio silence. I got a bit ansi and annoyed because again, i dont care to deal with this mess. I really wanted to sell them as a lot. So i simply just said instead of going through all the offers and "better" offers, ill let you guys fight for them publicy." Then i wrote the message. Luckily the nice man got back to me and we have made a deal

i have sold my entire lot for the asking price. So you all should just settle down and chill out. Stop the witch hunt and there was no WRONG Doing. Your stupid dibs rule doesnt apply to everyone, Especially people who never come to this site.

You wouldnt believe how many people wrote me about this auction telling me not worry, i was like worry about what, then the mob came out. OHHH worry about them. luckily i have thick skin and i dont give 2 fucks about your feelings. in reality you are just pixels on a screen as am i.


You guys should really take a look in the mirror and the mods should not enable these toxic people to create posts like this. Its quite shameful. You all should also remember not everyone is on this site 10-40x a day either and are not always up to par on all the details. Even if you read through this thread, (and one of my other threads) you will find so much dirty laundry being aired and rehashed. its pathetic the way some of you act. Grown ups (presumably) acting like 10 yr olds or even worst 14 yr old bullies.

If you are still reading stay tuned for my next auction of 700 CPS chips mint never used, chips!

Apple has a return policy as well as a guarantee. Do you have the same?

your customer service is about the same as theirs though.

You wouldnt believe how many people wrote me about this auction telling me not worry,

yes, all those people writing you are just like this, only here for the money. They like using tools like you to hide behind. You sound like a screwdriver, or maybe a crescent wrench, some kind of tool of theirs to cause drama and mayhem so they can “do you a favor” by buying your chips at “their market value”.

I know the solution for this. It's all very simple believe it or not.

Step 1...


Step 2...

Take a short break from PCF if need be to help alleviate the headache caused from the recent saga

Step 3...

Remind yourself there's more good than bad on PCF, way more. The level of camaraderie in here is high regardless some incidents here and there.

Step 4...

Avoid the negativity from those that tell you that your post count or involvement in here isn't enough to make you worthy of being a valued PCF member. Heck, we even have a member who thinks that you're a total peasant and nincompoop if you haven't posted enough. No names being mentioned, but apparently he wears a black rubber suit at night from time to time. Point is, some people just aren't as involved as others. No big deal, everybody's involvement differs from one person to the other. No big deal.

In summary. Happy Chipping be it now or later down the road.
