THE OFFICIAL EBAY CRAZINESS THREAD


Recommended Posts

You guys are wild.  Even when I use eBay very regularly throughout a quarter, or splurge on some ridiculous auctions, I never really end up earning more than $6.00 or so.

 

The most I've ever gotten from eBay Bucks was like $12 and that was because I spent almost $500 on football tickets.

I've been buying more and more less limited releases that I've been wanting because I can usually get free shipping from ebay sellers. Plus it's nice to get this in return every 3 months.

what happened?

I bought my first turntable from them, but terrible packaging damaged it. The cost to repair was literally more than the item itself. It was THAT bad. I do the proper thing and resolve via paypal. The seller basically said that the only thing to do is that one of us is gonna have a broken turntable and acted like an overall asshole.

He contacts me after a couple of months and says that he knows that i switched out the parts (I didn't. I also have a different brand turntable now. My question is why would I take shitty stock parts....). Anyways I tell him he's full of shit and he says the post office is investigating his insurance claim (which he should lose because he is at fault for being a dumbass). I told him that he should stop bothering me and that he should tell the post office to call me to prove that I didn't steal anything/he was at fault because I took pictures and documented everything. Anyways he continues to insult me, ignores my claims and asserts that he knows what I did wrong. He calls me a bird multiple times (WHO SAYS THAT AS AN INSULT NOW???) and I insult him back saying bird bird bird bird bird bird, bird is the word at the end of one message. After that he goes full ghetto and loses all spelling ability. He told me he was gonna pay me a visit and that he was in my city (he lives multiple states away. Like 10+ states away). Now keep in mind he has my address and everything. I get freaked out after a 12+ hour workday and I just call the cops. I really wish he came when the cops were here so he can get some good old NYPD fashioned police brutality. Needless to say I didn't feel safe in my own home for a little till I told him I called the cops. He proceeded to call me a cornball and said that karma is gonna get to me. It won't cause I didn't steal anything so jokes on him.

 

I now sleep with a nice hammer under my bed, a sharp object close to me and I think I'll feel safer with a gun nearby. Thank god the NYPD decided to patrol more often in my area cause of this. Overreaction much? Probably, but there are crazy people in this world and I'm not gonna die because of a stupid turntable.

Buying records is so nice compared to the used turntable business. I wouldn't be surprised if the mob runs their own used turntable business because of the immediate death threat.

 

 

Lol, in all seriousness though, I'm sorry to hear about all that stuff.  I'd probably be just as freaked out as you were/are.
