FS: Warlords cocktail cheap
Brian Adkins
I am able to complete the deal, I've decided that it may be better to pass
this on to somebody else that's closer or more able to have it shipped. The
seller is not able to ship the game, so it will either have to be picked up
or shipped with a company like NAVL that will pick up. I'm located in
Franklin, TN about 15 miles south of Nashville. That's where you'll send
payment to. I'm asking $225 to turn this deal over to somebody else. Send me
the $$$ and I'll put you in touch with the seller so you can arrange to pick
up the game or have it shipped. The cocktail has board issues, but the
monitor works. The game is complete, has zero water damage and is in overall
great shape. It could use new control panel overlays, but thats it. This is
a great deal for somebody willing to take it on. Check my reputation out on
the group. I'm NOT out to rip anybody off here. I just want out of this
deal. Priority will be given in the order of e-mails received. Thanks.

Sounds like a steal for somebody, great multiplayer game that you don't see
to often. Somebody should grab this.

used "buy it now" on both of them, but I didn't. If you're really
curious about my reasons for not picking it up, why not e-mail me
personally about it instead of sticking your nose in and posting this
to the group? FYI, the seller was going to crate it and deliver it to
Forward Air, but his clutch went out on his truck. I really didn't feel
like using NAVL to ship the game down here to me. Whatever you do, when
it comes time to sell or trade your football game, don't you dare sell
it for more than $50. Hear that everybody? Hans paid $50 for his Atari
Football table. That's right! He didn't inform the seller as to its
higher value either! He underpaid for his game himself. He's probably
going to sell or trade it one of these days for MORE that $50 too.
OOOOooooooooo. So freaking what? Get a life.

think his clutch went out? Hmmm... So then he's going to go without a
vechile for the rest of his life? If it was really the clutch, why didn't
you wait until it got fixed to ship it?
Any Hans' Football wasn't $50 either (it was $75). And he picked it up
himself. The next day. Nothing wrong with getting a great deal, when you
abide by the seller's rules.

Profit makes the world go 'round. But the fact of the matter is that
he's attempting to make a transaction starting with dishonesty.
He states a condition he cannot vouch for and lays claim to "turning
the deal over" and "just wanting out of it" and starting a relationship
with dishonesty does no good deed to the buyer.
Not to mention he took a stab at me. which will also not go
unrewarded. So Gooooooooooooooly Sgt. Carter... here is what *I* would
do if *I* were interested.
I would email the seller everything you stated here. Then I would
*offer* he/she 100-150 to refund your monies, report you as a
non-paying bidder and sell it outright to me for the price mentioned
above. After all there is nothing wrong with him wanting to make a
profit right? And I doubt he would appreciate knowing of this as well.
Gee Gomer.. I hope I didn't give out any good ideas...
You want to buy/sell thats your business but don't come here and
attempt to use your "reputation" to levy a 350% markup on an item you
do not posess, cannot vouch for the condition of, and "just want out
of", and then turn into a little girl when someone pulls your card.

I can vouch for the condition. The seller has e-mailed me pics and I've
spoken with him directly over the phone. Get a clue asshole. It is also true
that I am turning a deal over to somebody else. Nowhere did I state that I
was not making a profit. I didn't twist anybodies arm to e-mail ma about it.
I STILL set the price WELL below market value for somebody else to have some
room in the piece. This game is still a good deal. If not, why did I get
about a dozen seperate e-mails from people last night?

Dude you don't even make sense. I didn't set the sellers price. He did. You
actually suggest that the seller send MY money back AND report me as a non
paying bidder? A little over the top in the hate department, don't you

talking to the seller about shipping already. He had already stated that it
was no problem to put the game on a pallet and build a basic crate. As a
matter of fact, that's where the game is now, strapped down to a pallet with
blankets. He was also fine with dropping the game off at Forward Air for me.
The seller backed out due to a clutch that went bad on his truck. Yes, I
really do think his clutch went out and I don't blame him personally for it.
He's got a car that he uses for transportation everyday. The truck that he
WAS going to transport the game in is an old truck that has high miles and a
bad clutch. To talk to this guy directly, I have no reason to believe he's
lying. Since the truck is not his primary means of transportation and a new
clutch according to him will run over $600 he decided to wait on the repair
for now. Eventually, yes, he will have his trucks clutch repaired. Maybe if
Hans were generous enough, he would've offered the seller at least $400 for
the football? That would've went a long way to pay for a clutch for the guy.
Guess Hans was out to see what he could get and got pissed when he saw the
Warlords and realized that somebody else was getting a little too.
Oh, and who cares if Hans O's cocktail table was $50, $75, or whatever? He
still bought it for well below market value and didn't inform the seller
while he was doing it. Then he comes on here trying to point a finger at
somebody else for doing the same thing? Do you really think when old Hans
gets ready to sell that football machine that he'll be asking $75 for it?
You're right about there being nothing wrong with a good deal. FYI, I did
contact the seller and I WAS abiding by his conditions that we were agreeing
to over the phone. Get your facts before posting next time there Joe.

profit for doing nothing at all? I guess that is the point of the post RE:
It would be one thing if you got a good deal on the game, picked it up,
checked it out and cleaned it up and turned a profit but to make a
profit just getting out of a purchase that you no longer want...
I think another poster hit the nail on the head, e-mail the original
seller and make on offer on the game and tell him to refund the buyer
that no longer wants it.
Craig Yarbrough
Wait a minute, we don't really know that. First off, it was an eBay
auction. Everyone had an equal opportunity to BIN and grab this one.
Apparently Brian got there first. Second, you don't know what has
transpired between Brian and the original seller. It could be that
Brian told him the game was worth 20x what he was asking, and offered
to bring a bit more for him by taking it to RGVAC. It could be the
seller said he didn't care but said it was ok if Brian wanted to keep
the difference. You just don't know.
Nor should you care. Hey it's a complete Warlords CT for $275. Hello?
Look I've had a few dealing with Brian and Ken in the past with no
complaints about price, quality, or shipping. If it were me I'd be
willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks Brian for generating interest in this thread. Good place to
advertise my new football game:
Hey everybody, I bought a 2-player Atari Football for 75 bucks. It was
picked up from the seller (just like it stated in the auction) at his
family's service station in Saukville, Wisconsin (the land of cheese).
It's in very nice condition, maybe close to a 9. I'm going to resell it
for a nominal profit (all hail capitalism). I may fix it or sell it as
is. Anybody interested please contact me. Interesting trades always
considered.
Thanks, Hans O in Chicago

I think its the wording of your post that might be rankling people. It
makes it sound like you can't or don't want to complete the transaction
and you are just passing this deal on to another collector. The
impression is that you are passing it on for what you got the deal for
itself because you don't want to hassle with shipping. The deal is
still a great one - $225 for a Warlords cocktail. And you should know
by now that on this group someone will likely to have seen the auction
and link it to this transaction. Just be more forthright. "Hey guys,
saw a great deal, bought it to make a profit. I'm passing it on at a
profit to me and still a great deal for the new buyer." That is what it
is. And technically, you violated the auction and the seller could
repost since the auction said "PICK UP ONLY".
Just an observation. Like I said, this is still a great deal for
someone.

He is legitimately taking his profit based on being in the right place at
the right time and grabbing the piece before anyone else did. His cost has
no bearing on his selling price as far as the second buyer is concerned.
The game either is or is not worth $275 to the second buyer, and thats all
there is to say.
As far as cleaning it up, checking it out, etc, of course that would have
been an option; so would an asking price of $550 or so.
This whole thing about profit being justified only by physical work, etc is
absurd. Profit is also justified by investing funds and taking risk. That
said, the underlying idea is that profit does not have to be justified - the
act of making a profit is possible only if the marketplace itself justifies
it, and thats all that is needed

Non omission? Wouldn't a NON omission be an inclusion? Or are you just too

I got, giving everybody on here a chance to e-mail the seller. Why else
would you post about the profit that I made unless you were mad about not
getting the game yourself? Basically Hans, your post was shit. It offered
nothing constructive and now your trying to act like you had no agenda for
doing it? Get real. I think most people can see through that. Even you could
if you weren't in denial. A little payback for the sour grapes you got when
you realized the Warlords was already sold? Next time, I'll use buy it now
on all of it.

Just because I've not picked it up does not make it any less mine. I've
stored peoples games in my shop for months. Guess what? The games are still
theirs. As for me not doing any work, so what? Do I have to fill out a
timecard, include all receipts, and turn the mileage in on my truck to the
group before I'm "allowed" to sell something? Man, get a clue. Almost

paid for the item you really wanted out of the sale. I had no idea the
guy was willing to store it for you indefinitely... you did get a good deal.
Just seems unfortunate that more people would not be willing to pass
along a good deal when they decide the purchase wasn't right for them
especially when you are not out any time or effort. So somebody into
collecting classic games misses a local opportunity but now has to pay a
fellow collector unwilling to take delivery of a game a premium. I have
been fortunate to find others in the hobby that are glad to pass along
information and a good deal if the buy isn't right for them.
I have no issue making a profit, I just notice there are those on here
with a passion for restoring and protecting old arcade games and those
that prefer turning profits. I once bought a Karate Champ on E-bay for
$61 and before I could even get out to pick it up I had another E-bayer
begging to buy it from me because he didn't win the bidding. I could
have turned a quick profit without lifting a finger but restoring the
game meant more to me than $$$.
Good luck with the sale, I would wager that anyone in the area able to
pick up and was looking for the game would have bid higher. Maybe you
would have better luck putting it up on E-bay yourself than posting to
fellow collectors that most likely saw and passed on it the first
time... just a thought.
P.S.
I don't remember posting that you needed to ask permission for anything,
but I appreciate that you took the time to point it out as if I was

You are such a liar...always have been and always will be I guess.
Five years ago when I met you your collection consisted of a dedicated
Major Havoc and about no more than 4 or 5 other games. Remember, you
had to sell your entire collection of 7 games to get the MH from Darin?
And you had just recently acquired those because you had to sell the
few you had while going through your divorce except the Star Wars of
course.
So you've maybe sold 40 or 50 games on the NG (giving a generous number
here) and another 30 or 40 on eBay over the past 4 or 5 years.
So that means that either you currently have around 500 games in your
collection or you sold that many locally. What a hoot!

Fact was and is, the auction clearly stated "pick up only" and you had no
intention of doing so. Sure you might have asked after you BIN and he
agreed, but if he said no, then what? Oh wait, next you're going to tell us
that you made those arrangements with him BEFORE you BIN. Yes, that's
right, you emailed him asking if he'd ship, and he emailed back saying he
would and then you BIN. Yes, I'm sure it still would have been there
waiting for you.

You are still a scumbag trader who's word isnt worth a shit. You lied about
the working condition of just about every game we ever got off of you. You
blew out a ton of your garbage in trade for several nice peices of fully
worth real nice peices from us. Hell, stupid, we got about 10-12 machines
off of you alone in trade for 3 or 4 of our much more valuable machines if
you just want to try and crunch numbers. Weve also done several more of
those 2-3 for 1 machine deals with other collectors as well. Of course, we
didnt know some of your machines had electrical issues because you already
had them ready to go when we got there and you assured us that they were all
100% when we did that big trade with you.
The fact is dumbass, that along with selling a ton of machines on Ebay weve
also sold a ton of them locally. That also doesnt take into account the tons
of machines that weve gutted and trashed through the years. We might list 1
fully restored Donkey Kong, Ms. Pac or Galaga on Ebay and get 1 top high
bidder but we also usually get several more sales off of the same auction.
It happens all of the time.
600 machines over 6 years is not that big of a deal when you are constantly
finding, trading, selling and smashing machine. It equates to less than 2 a
week on average and less that 8 a month. Weve done auctions back to back
within a month to six weeks time where we have loaded up full size budget
trucks with about 25-30 machines. Times that times 2 for two auctions and
that is about 50-60 machines in a six week time span. We dont do those
auction trips all of the time and havent done one recently but its been done
plenty of times before.
I would think that you would be one collector that would understand how easy
it is to pick up, go through, trade and trash machines but I guess you are
just trying to throw some more fuel on the fire in your typical dumbass
fashion. Hell, every time we went down to your place you had about 4-5
gutted and parted out machines sitting outside of your house. It aint hard
to accumulate, sell, trade and trash tons of machines Mcfly. Just this year
alone weve probably pulled at least 40-45 machines from a warehouse.
Its funny that you comment on my brothers height considering that you are
shorter that both of us. What does that make you, 5' 3"? Hahahaha.
More lying from a typical Alabama scumbag.
Were still waiting on you to finally do a drive and come up here, asshole.

If that is truly the case, then who is really to blame after the 2nd bad
deal? If you continue to buy or trade games with someone you describe as a
scumbag, that makes you a moron.
NOTE: I have no idea what kind of trader any of you are, just pointing out

long as we did. However, we got smart and stopped. After the 1st or second
bad trade, you kinda chalk it up to circunstance. Things just happen. But,
after a while, you begin to realize what kind of person he really is. All
anybody has to do is Google him to see what kind of person he really is at
the core. If anybody still feels like dealing with that, then go right
ahead. Be my guest.

I do agree with you 100%. But it appears our buyer here tried to get him to
crate and pallet it and deliver to a terminal. Big difference between that
and NAVL/Beltmann (even if the buyer was willing after he was asked).
Although I don't know how willing the seller was since it didn't happen. So
why not Beltman now?

You both came down here about 10 times begging me to trade you such and
such games before each trip. I made several deals with you guys and
they were all down here. You asked for the game, you played every game
before you took it thoroughly checking it out, so what does that tell
you? Then you came back, and back again, and back again......(it's all
here in Google)
Hmm, it tells me that I was giving you guys some pretty good deals.
What is it like a 500 mile round trip that you kept making? Don't
forget about it being Google archived where you, yes you, post about
great trades with me.(Yes, it's all here in Google)
All I said was that you were a piece of shit and a big liar. It's all

Why would you try to pass along this auction anyway, even at a profit?

I made ONE good trader post about you Mike and I'm sorry I ever did. Let me
just state for the official record that you are a bad trader. You pull games
from some warehouse somewhere. You barely get them running before trading
them off. Yes, they do work, but they usually have things wrong with them.
Things like certain sounds missing, wrong colors, controls that don't
properly work 100%, water damage that was not disclosed, etc, etc. In the
ammount of time it takes to work a full day, get the truck loaded, and make
the drive down to your place, we've barely got time to look at everything.
You were always rushing us along and complaining how late it was and how you
had to get to work in the morning. At that point, we'd already made the
drive and committed the time and gas to the situation so we completed trades
anyway. Like I'd said before, a few bad trades I can live with. Shit
happens. To be fair, not EVERYTHING was fucked up between us. But, with the
stuff that was messed up you basically called me a liar and told me tough
shit. That's hardly a good trader. You've been known for a long time on this
group to be mean spirited and always seem to take extra delight in picking
on people. Thats not a good trader either. You do indeed have an impressive
collection and thats part of the appeal to trying to be your friend. Knowing
where games are and having a person that you're on good terms with to make
trades is always a draw. But in reality, you're just too much of a real jerk
to deal with to make it work. Eventually, we just stopped dealing with you
because of it.

No, what the problem is is that you talk in half truths mixed in with your
own version of reality skewed to suit your point of view. I am not a liar
Mike. Anybody whos done business with me knows that. I've made plenty of
good trades with plenty of people so I can't be as bad as you're trying to
make me out to be. I've also got a perfect e-bay record so I must do a few
things right.

Because I felt like it. Plain and simple. So freaking what? People change
their minds all the time.

There was no crawfishing Mike. You won the Marble Madness from me. I wasn't
happy about the final price, but I was perfectly willing to complete the
deal. You, however, wanted us to deliver the game down to you for basically
what ammounts to around $20 or so. I told you that delivery fees are .50
cents per mile. You got all mad and accused me of jacking the delivery rates
up to cover the poor sale of my game. You wanted it delivered for cheap
since we had already delivered a bunch of other stuff to you for cheap. I no
longer felt like driving the 500 miles for next to nothing and simply asked
you to stick to the auction terms of .50 cents per mile as I've ALWAYS
spelled out in every auction I run. Since you insisted on buying the game
through e-bay and not with me outside of e-bay, I simply asked you to stick
to the auction terms. You got mad and said forget it. You backed out of the
deal. That is the total truth. However, you will most likely have your own
version of the story anyway. How can you honestly live with yourself knowing
the facts in your heart and yet you twist them to the group to make yourself
look better?

No excuses and no lies. Listen, Ken and I have already told you that any
time you feel like driving up here to settle your personal gripes with us,
you're more than welcome. Plain and simple. I mean, really, why run your
mouth sooo much on the keyboard and ACT like a man when you can simply drive
up here and prove it? Get it out of your system once and for all. Please.
Oh, and for the record, we have owned over 600 machines. I've had over 30
Donkey Kongs alone. You should ask Darin Jacobs how many sets of Tron art
we've bought over the years for those jobs. We buy, sell, and trade all the
time. This newsgroup and e-bay are but two means of trade. Anybody who knows
us knows the volume and quality of games we deal in. You hardly know what we
buy or sell as you don't know what anybody else buys or sells all the time
either. If anybody on this group is dumb enough to believe that you're that
smart to keep track of ALL the sales of everybodies games ALL the time, then
they're just as full of shit as you are. And if it's only us that you
delight in keeping close track of, number one you basically suck at it
because your numbers are WAY off. And, number two if you do try to keep that
close of a watch on us, that in itself should show just how truly creepy you
are.
Seriously Mike, of all the people on this group who are basically laughable
at best, it would be a delight if you showed up here to finally get your
anger out of your system. All of your anger Mike. Your hatred of blacks,
your hatred of us, your hatred of just about everybody in your life. Come
and get it all out. No, we're not going to drive down your way. We've done
enough drives for you. Besides, it's all you that seems to keep poking your
stick in this fire. So come up here and come get some. No more of your short
comments, no more BS replies about Shonies Big Boy, no more anything. Simply
just come get it or shut the fuck up and move on. You get no respect here at
all until you do.

To defend the Adkins brothers, 600 games in a four or five years would
not be that hard to do. I have sold Ken and Brian at least 40 - 50
games from my stuff / finds. In the last month, a Defender, Battlezone,
Zoo Keeper and I picked up a 720 from Ken. I have also sold them quite
a few Nintendo cabs, and they all end up being DK's before it is over.
Check their auctions. It's the same pics on each auction. Before I met
them, I thought they had the worst luck as far as non paying bidders
go. Then I realized they have stock pics, build all the cabs to the
same condition, (Which is nice, they did my DK) and then sell to the
highest bidders with second chance offers. No telling how many DK's
alone that they have sold. So he wants to make a profit off of
something. Bastards... That's UnAmerican, well, if you vote for
Clintons wife it is, but to everyone else it is called Capitalism.
If you are in the hobby of collecting machines that were used to make
profit, and don't try to make a profit, or at least sell some games to
cover the cost of your own collection, well, don't you see the irony?

you might want to be careful before you start throwing out the slang

I'm going to lump all three of you into the same bowl of steeming
manuwer. Art Mallet, Mark and yourself. All three of you are bullies
that need a stern taste of your own medicine and run off of here at
least until you can cease and desist the name calling and apologise to
those you've maligned unfairly. Don't think for a moment the opposite
is going to occur and if anyone in this SPINELESS group would care
anything more but for their own yellow skins and being left alone by
each of you they'd be joining me right now. But as per norm, and the
reason WHY all three of you get away with it is because the cavalry
will never come riding over that hill because you haven't attacked
them directly and your attention has been diverted away from their
spineless asses and onto someone that will stand up to you.. We need
to throw you down the way you tag-team individuals on this group.
I talked to your source this evening and he's assured me you did no
such thing you filthy liar. No bad deed goes unpunished punk.
And as for your diminishments your drones do well only because they
haven't been slighted by you YET. But that's all forthcoming. They
think they're backing you up until you give them the final thrust as
you have everyone else that's come across your path. And just for
your 'upbringing' you should probably know that they are doing it
because your feeding them. Your paying them off in one shape or form.
But then you already know this..Money = Friends right?
And I get this from having BALLS. Something this group lacks in
standing up to bullies. You see I'm not in this hobby just for me and
what I have. Some people, a few think this way, look at the big
picture. We have 3 bullies in this group that I'm aware of. Me being
the only one that will actively have the balls to stand up to them.
I'll stand up for the Adkins, the Jones', the Gregory's, the
Yeckley's, the Penzone's, the Troy Smith's, the Mathis', the Deboll's,
the Kramer's, Waldron's, Lowry's, the Matuszak's, Berry's, the Roy's,

everyone that's treated me like A PERSON and friend. I'm only sad
because I can't include the name Carroll in that list. But that's the
difference between you and me. You pay for your friendship. They're
your pals because you may have a good deal to offer them whereas I
offer only my friendship and thanks to each and everyone of them. I
don't throw money at people for friendship. But I'd take all of those
mentioned over yours. So don't talk to me about being lonely and not

Roberts=unforgiveable. Not a penny to my name I was given the label
of CHEAP by you.
Shame on you. Shame on each and every one of you.
You make your own enemies. Deal with it and stop blaming it on
someone else. You created this enemy. Nobody but you are to blame.
You are 100% responsible for what you create. You are responsible for
you life, not I.
I can only hope that during this Easter Season you meet the true
meaning of being God's servant. You will know what it's like to be
poor. You will visit strife. You will know fear and you will know
loss.
Happy Easter 2006

Aub...@aol.com
to say.
You start an argument with me in an irrelevant thread saying that I've
treated you wrong? I can't even remember when the last time I had
mentioned you was.
First off you dumbass, you are going to take up for Brian and Ken who
pushed your face in the mud so far on this NG that even I felt bad for
you? Did you forget how bad they busted your ass a few years ago. It
was hilarious so I'm sure you remember. You dissappeared for like 6
months dude.
So now you are trying to take the lime light off your new want to be
pals, what this thread is really about, and point a finger at me?
Do you not think that anybody can see who is really trying to buy
friends with that list you just posted?
How many good trader posts have you had?
Keep digging for something Zinfer...you are getting nowhere fast. THEN
AGAIN, THAT IS THE STORY OF YOUR RGVAC DOCUMENTED LIFE.
Rob Carroll
[snip]
I'm only sad
because I can't include the name Carroll in that list. But that's the
difference between you and me. You pay for your friendship. They're
your pals because you may have a good deal to offer them whereas I
offer only my friendship and thanks to each and everyone of them.
[/snip]
OK, well, first off, you're implying that my friendship can be bought.
That's untrue and I take exception to that. I guess what you're referring
to is this: Mike and I had some very ugly words a couple years back,
starting with a misunderstanding and snowballing from there. Recently, he
needed something that I had... so, I figured "what the hell, water under the
bridge". Offered it to him at what I felt was a fair price and he accepted.
Two adults putting the past behind them. Do I consider him a friend? No, I
don't know that I'd go that far. I'd gladly trade with him again, though,
because he paid immediately, the communication was good, and his reputation
as a trader precedes him. All well and good.
You see, Rod, just because I've had a good trade with somebody from the
group, or friendly interactions with them doesn't mean that we're _friends_.
It takes more than that. Granted, I have made my fair share of real and
actual friends on the group, and that's marvelous too. I don't know that
I'd consider anybody on the group a real "enemy" either, because this is the
Internet and it's all one degree of bullshit or another anyway. And, since
we're talking, I don't consider you an enemy either. IIRC, a while back I
thought you blindsided and attacked me on the group, and I came back pretty
harsh before I realized my mistake. But, I said what I felt at the time...
basically that you needed to chill out a little bit with RGVAC being your
therapy session (although I'm sure I could have said it much more politely
than I did).
So here we are, some time later and, to be honest, I haven't been following
the soap opera... I actually don't read the newsgroup anywhere near as
closely as I used to. But, it would seem that you're still stuck in dire
straits, and fighting your personal war on several fronts. Really, I'm
sorry that life still isn't treating you that great, but you have persevered
thus far, so you should be proud of that. I couldn't possibly offer you
advice on how to better your situation, since I don't really know the whole
story... but maybe you should redirect some of your energies away from
verbally fencing with the "troublesome trio" on here and direct it into
getting your groove back?
Wise words and food for thought:
"The gods help those who help themselves." - Hercules (from an Aesop Fable)
"Nothing worthwhile is easy." - No clue
"The definition of 'stupid' is doing the same thing over and over and
expecting different results." - No clue here either
"If man makes himself a worm he must not complain when he is trodden on." -
Immanuel Kant
"People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with
mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents." - Andrew Carnegie
"Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don't bother just
to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than
yourself." - William Faulkner
"The great secret of doctors, known only to their wives, but still hidden
from the public, is that most things get better by themselves; most things,
in fact, are better in the morning." - Lewis Thomas
Look around, there are books filled with this stuff... I, for one, can't
read a handful of quotes like these and _not_ feel re-energized and
refocused. Really, good luck. Hopefully the next long ramble we get from
you will be filled with good news.
Not necessarily your "friend", but a fellow man,
Rob Carroll
Art M - Artfromny
here - he is able to look at someone like Zinfer, and despite the obvious
openings Rod leaves people to poke fun at him, despite the truly pathetic
picture of himself Rod paints, and despite the irrational, mentally
dysfunctional, paranoid conspiracy theory that Rod's life seems to be, Rob
Carroll rises to the occasion and encourages zinfer to try, yet again, to
pick himself up out of the pile of his own shit and puke that he inhabits
and try to be a man; not only encourages him, but does a bit of research to
give him ideas and insights.
Rob, youre a better man than I

Do you really think that I care enough what ANYONE thinks of me to bribe my
way into a good rep? I treat people well for several reasons 1: I genuinely
like them, based on the way they treat me and others 2:They have spent a lot
of money with me in the past and I reward loyal repeat customers 3:A
complete stranger will catch me in a generous mood 4: I see someone fighting
with a repair and they seem genuinely intent on learning something, and I
happen to have a part lying around that they need. NOWHERE in that list is
"gee maybe if I give them a good deal they will say nice things about me"

Not to be crude, but from your behavior here, the only balls you get close

You are more of a whore than you know. There are people here that I have
angered, and they have principles, and if I were selling Major Havocs for
$100 they wouldnt deal with me - not everyone is like you, fawning and
licking the hand of anyone throwing you a cheap bone.

rely on something so feeble as religion (yes I am an atheist) as an excuse
that it is some fictional man in the sky TESTING you to see if you can deal
with his desire to see you fail. The goddamn Easter bunny is more apt to
help you than "God". If god is that spiteful I am going to have a GREAT time
in hell with all my friends that choose to believe life is what YOU make of
it not what a myth has planned for you.
Get a grip on your pitiful life and YOU make things better instead of
relying on GOD to do it for you. You just beg for people to rag on you...try
keeping your godforsaken mouth shut and quit heaping your own pestilence
upon you. May a wave of godsent locust eat all your games!
BTW count me as one of your enemies also you fucking jerk!

But then I guess you made that choice a while back...
You don't know what straits I'm in, just what doofus here and doofus 2
are pumping me for information thinking I'm going to devulge anything
to them in some kind of reaction.
Fact of the matter is I'm homeless and am using an internet cafe right
now. I stay at the local shelter.
phoenixarcade.com
Tell ya what Zin, Ive got a really nice guest suite in my house with
its own private entry/exit, full bath, walk in closet and all the other
amenities one would need. Ill put you up for 30 days in my home here in
Chandler (phoenix) free of charge.
If you want a fresh start here it is. Phoenix is loaded with jobs. I
can even offer you a part time job at $10/hour while youre looking for
work. This isnt an offer to take a vacation however and I cannot
provide a car for you. If interested email me and we can work out the
details.
Otherwise I want no part of this thread, I participate in my own
battles enough. Plus Ive got friends on both sides of this issue and
many good points are made for either position. Its not black and white.
Only Brian and the seller really know whats going on. I wish the thread
would die.

Stephen Beall
Wow, what a very nice offer. There you have it Zinfer, a open invite to
a fresh start. If you have nothing going for you right now, what do you
have to lose? Free rent and a 10/hr job for 30 days? You'd be fool to
pass it up. Hell, I'll even kick in $100 in gas money to get you on your
way.

rest - that is probably the most generous thing I have ever seen on RGVAC.
I know that you did it from kindness, but I am quite sure karma will reward
you for the offer, even though I am sure you did it with not even a thought
of reward. Some people talk Christian this and born again that - you seem

OK, so you're in _really_ dire straits; here it is coming from your own
mouth (fingers). This isn't about "who's side I'm taking". Really, dude,
I'm sorry you're out of a home. I can't even imagine what that would be
like. Darin's offer is EXTREMELY generous and, hell, he's even offering you
a job (presumably) working on games!
Sounds like things can't get much worse for you right now. If I were in
your shoes, I'd take a gamble and try to start new... you've got nothing to
lose and much to gain. Arizona is cheap living; my brother lived there for
years and his house would easily cost over a million up here in
Massachusetts... and he paid less for it than I paid for my little one-story
ranch 7 years ago before the housing market went through the roof here.
Stephen even offered to pony up a C note to help you get there! Does
Greyhound still take you wherever you want for $69?
Hell, if nothing else, you can get away and get a fresh perspective for a
month.
