Oh, BELIEVE ME, he will fucking EARN his $44 reading all the emails he will
be receiving this weekend. By Sunday, he will be ready to snap on one if us,
and when he does, off to the eBay police that email needs to go.
It is posted in his feedback that he sells overspray items without
mentioning it, so it is only logical that we should ask about other items.
True eBay story........
As a big fan of the late Denton Texas group Slobberbone, The other fans and
I would cruise eBay for any rare discs that might show (the first indie
release of 500 discs, brings around $300 when it shows up). On several
instances, sellers would have a recorded show that they would try and sell.
Since tapers are encouraged, as long as no shows are sold, this pissed us
off no end. EBay was contacted, and informed that there was a seller
violating the rules, by selling CDR's. Ebay said that only the copywrite
owner could protest, so Brent (the copywrite owner) contacted them. They
basically gave him a verbal "fuck off" and refused to do any more. End of
story? Far from it.
EBay is just like any other corporation, they are built on greed, so we
exploited that greed. The next time a live show on CDR showed up, we bid.
And bid.
And bid.
The bid got to $10,000..............
Once the auction was over, the winner refused to pay, as it was a CDR. Since
CDR's are forbidden by sale on eBay, the winner was not obligated in any way
to buy the disc.
Now, you think, that was kinda funny.
But wait, there's more.
This gift keeps on giving.
This is the kinda kick in the balls that rattles the wisdom teeth.
Ok, so he had a CDR, so we welched out on the $10K bid.
EBay is a corportation, they don't give a shit about all that. There was a
$10K closing bid on their site, and they want their cut. And guess what,
they got it. They have every sellers credit card #, so that they CAN get it.
So, he broke the rules, and we broke his bank. Life sure is fun sometimes.
