All i know is i emailed you the second the post came on.And i didn't get a
response.That's not right.I always give things away to the first people that
email me.I don't pick and choose.I know i had to be the first or second one
to email.I saw the post as it came up.Oh well.Life is such.

[MARK]

You happen to be wrong.Either way i happen to be in the right place at that
time.And got no response.I never did that when i gave stuff away.And if you
do a Google search.You will see that i started Free Friday and used to give
away allot of good stuff.Funny how nobody remembers that.????

Come on Mark, I did this the most honest way I knew of. I dont care if
you started "free friday" or not. It doesnt entitle you to anything
from me. In fact Ive probably given more away to rgvac in 2004 than you
have in all your years on rgvac combined. Making matters better for
some was that I found 5 more marquees so I was able to give away 16.
Wanna guess what 16 of these marquees and shipping cost? Well its
likely quite a bit more than youll give away in the year 2005.
Afterall, youre the one who keeps relisting cheap ass Willis art. Why
not just give it away on the "free fridays" you started?

Sorry for the rant guys. I hate cry babies when you give stuff away and
try to do the right thing. So far all the non-winners who have replied
back after getting the email were quiet pleasant. Leave it to Mark to
be the lone sore loser.

fwiw, here is the email I sent to everyone that didnt get a marquee,
although my original post said I wouldnt send one out:

Hi,

I'm very sorry that I didn't have 273 of these to go around! That's how
many requests I ended up with. I did find 5 more to make it a total of
16 to give away.

I simply gave them away in the order I received your emails.

Thanks for emailing and have a Happy New Year in 2005.

Darin and Nancy Jacobs

So thats 16 emails I sent to the winners, and 257 emails I sent to the
non-winners. Could I have missed some, sure. Thats a lot of emails to
send out. Im sorry if I missed anyone. Lets not cry over spilled milk.
Happy New Years

Wah, you missed me! And look at all this milk!

[MARK]

You are right.And you don't have to give me anything.But do tell the truth
that i was one of the first one's who replied.That's all i was saying.I
would never have done that to anyone who replied first like i did.No problem
.As far as the Willis art.Check my auctions.If there are people who will buy
it.Then why would i give it away.?.I make part of my living on ebay.And they
sell.Take a look at the Moon Patrol one.It had 2 bidders and sold this
morning.I've been selling them for about 5 years.I sold over 100 of them.Im
finally down to the last 20 or so.As long as there is a buyer for them.I
will continue to sell them.After all.I bought them.

Um, Im not exactly a big fan of Mark Spaeth, but he was one of the
first and I still sent him one. Why would you be any different? In
fact, I dont even know 1/2 the people that got one. I could have just
offered them to only people I know or were customers. But I didnt do
that.

Its over, move on. If not youll be on my shit list for a long time and
Ill go on the offensive against you. And youre banned from ever getting
anything from me.

Keep in mind it was me and me only who defended your ass from an
onslaught of people a few years ago. So why would I try to screw you?
Next time Ill let them eat you for lunch, and probably join in.

Somehow I dont think youll ever grow up. Youre acting like a grade

Thanks, Darin. I would've mentioned this myself, but I've had
Markline KF'ed for a while, so I didn't see his drivel until it started
getting quoted...

It's a new year... can't we all try to be nice for a while :)

Errrrr, Spaeth IS a good guy. He just tends to me quite impatient with
people. Other than that, he's a pretty good guy from what all the
people who know him well tell me.

Now Markline says a few funny things. Most of them are funny because it
makes him look like an ass, not because he gets over on anyone.

He really needs to get some private tutoring so he can advance past the
1st grade intelligence level. All you have to do is read (if you can)
any of his posts and you almost feel sorry for him. He slipped through
our educational system. I guess the administration said "lets just get
this one through as fast as we can" so they dont have to deal with him.
Afterall, he wont contribute anything to society.

Markline is without a doubt the most killfiled person on any of the
7 newgroups I read regularly.

[MARK]

And that's the way i like it.:).Oh by the way.I graduated from RCA
Electronics school.I guarantee i know more about fixing games then you ever
will.And im not talking Randy Fromm or whatever that Kindergarten crap
is.And yes i type fast and make some spelling errors.But that just makes you
feel smarter.So just sit back an enjoy.Maybe you will even learn something
about self promotion from me.You probably have no idea what i mean.But as
you gain experience you will learn about it.And 99% of the people that have
purchased game related items from me.Will only say good things about
me.:)).So take you marquees and shove them up your mothers cunt.!!!

Didnt know that - you ever work for RCA Service or did you go to the school
and went into your own business? They turned out some wicked good techs in
the 70s up here - lots of real hands on work at those schools not just books
and theory labs - they trained their techs on the actual equipment that they
were going to work on.

Art

[MARK]

Yes Art.I graduated in the early 70s.They closed it down not long after and
were opened again by TCI.I took Computer repair.Man it was really hard in
those days.I only got a B-.But it was all College level stuff.Took every
kind of math you can name.I almost quit towards my second year when you had
to think in abstract #s.With all the dry goods i was taking in those days.It
was a miracle i made it.Turned out i never used all the knowledge i got
there.I met my wife and opened up a Jewelry store in Manhattan.between 5th
and 6th ave.Not bragging but got rich really fast when i bought all my
inventory when gold was only about 100.00 an ounce.About $250.000 worth.It
went straight up to over 800.00 after that.Just do the math.Well now that
most of the homes and cars,Boats,ETC are gone after 13 years of that.I
decided to open a Video vending route about 17 years ago.And after seeing
all the high prices they were getting for S/Fters at that time.I decided it
would be more profitable to sell the games then break my back with a slave
route anymore.Well the rest is history.I made it again.Now im sliding down
again.So im starting some more ideas now.I think i have one more success
left in me.I hope.:)).Last chance before being broke like i was 30+ years
ago.I think life goes in a big circle.If you noticed i can spell.I just like
to get all the Nerds riled up.Releases tension to see them go crazy when i
forget to use my spell checker.:)

For once I'll say shame on Art. If he really is a friend of Marks he
would tell him he is doing far more harm than good. And it really
doesnt look good for Art that he continuously sticks up for this loser
who offers nothing to this group.

But like he says, they gotta stick together. For reasons that probably
cant be explained. Never thought of Mark and Art as one in the same. I
learned something about Art tonight. Oh well, I kinda still like him.

And Mark, you say youre sliding down again? Well I dont care how rich
you have been, its what you have now that counts. And money isnt
everything. Character says a lot. Since you have neither you come here
to waste everyones time, except Arts.

Other than Art, have you ever hung out with anyone here in rgvac? I
dont mean meeting someone from a game you bought or sold. I mean
hanging out. If so, please name them. I doubt there are any.
Game, set, match.

[MARK]

Trying the divide and conquer thing on me and Art.:) Nice try.And i never
said i had no money you idiot.I said business is on the downslide.I have
many other projects going on.And why would i hang out with game collecting
nerds.?????????.Except for the money.??????

Mark and I just happen to be of roughly the same age and background, and I
can envision what he went through running a business in the city - being in
NYC has unique aspects that just dont seem to afflict businessmen elsewhere.
What I was really commenting on had nothing to do with the newsgroup; it was
the idea that he built a business, lost it, built another, sees it sliding
downhill, and is still looking to keep going and try to hit the mother lode.

I admit to ignorance of the original New Year's thread - if Mark has once
again started some shit for fun with someone undeserving, I apologize for
appearing to support that - that wasnt my intent. As to Mark's
contributions to the group, I am not really qualified to comment on that.
All I know is that whenever I need something that Mark has, it is available
quickly and dependably; price isnt really an issue for me if I need
something and his prices arent bad anyway.

Sorry to have disappointed you - sometimes my quick replies might better be
tempered by reading the entire thread first
