Disagree completely...2 negatives from 2004 are hardly the same as two
within the last 30 days. Read beyond the Ebay summary rating number
before posting messages like this.

The charter of the rec.antiques.radio+phono newsgroup discourages eBay SPAM
and other for-sale (FA, FS, etc.) notices from people who have never
contributed anything to past discussions.

The purpose of this group is to discuss antique radios and phonographs. Not
to sell stuff.

If you have nothing interesting to talk about, kindly find some other place
to spray your SPAM.

P.S. I bought my second (flawless) TO 3000-1 for $5 at a garage sale.

Regards,

Phil Nelson

Yeah, and READ the neutrals! Folks who were dinged;
but didn't wish to have full retalliation in turn. The
feedback sucks. The replies to the negs speaks volumes
as well.

I think many of us probably did read well beyond the eBay summary. At least enough
to see the nature of the complaints and how you responded to them.

You received 5 negatives and 5 neutrals out of 208 transactions:
http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?User=fixyourownpc&Dirn=Received+by

You gave 23 negatives or neutrals out of 286 transactions:
http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?User=fixyourownpc&Dirn=Left+by

That indicates a lot of problems. If nothing else, it shows you have a lot of
communication problems with your trading partners.

Considering at least a couple are from Ebayers no longer registered, I
think 5 negatives vs. 198 positives is not a bad track record. Also
the majority of the negs, the few that are there, were from buyers who
never alerted me about problems, and left negatives weeks after the
fact. One guy dinged me like 2 months after an item shipped. By that
time it is out of my hands.

I would most likely have numerous more positives but due to my bad
experiences I no longer post feedback until the buyer does first. Not
the best policy but it helps to protect myself from reckless buyers and
their feedback.

I looked at a couple of the "Neutral" feedbacks I received. One was
from a guy who bought a metal clock part that was well over 120 years
old and he complained about rust. Another was from someone who gave me
a neutral even though we had not participated in a transaction and I
noted that in my reply. Some things are out of my hands as a seller
and especially as a seller that deals mainly in vintage electronics,
etc. I always list items "as-is" preciesly because I cannot guarantee
perfection from used and in most case older items. If you can more
power to you.

I disagree unless we are going to ban links to auctions by ALL members
of this group and not just a select few. We will have to ban links by
a few long time members who also shill their auctions. And of course we
will have to ban the long-running forum sport of providing links to and
nasty comments about auctions of certain competing dealers.

You're delusional. Anyone with feedback like this is suspect. The
fact that he's a Usenet spammer like Charlie Nudo adds more "cause to
pause."

That's called "laying in wait," and is the mark of a schlock eBayer.

"fixyourownpc" = NOT recommended. Same personality disorders as
66fourdoor/Charlie Nudo..."All my problems are caused by someone
else...."

You'll note the X-posting. No telling from which group one is
responding. Cross-posting in and of itself is bad form. When it's done
for (semi) commercial purposes, it's even worse.

No, that is called C.Y.A., especially since I was "negged" by a
non-paying bidder who was bidding on a lot of auctions he was not
paying for. I left him a negative and he turns around and did the same
to me. Now if I would had been smart and did what I do now my
feedback would be a lot better. Same with the guy who left me a
negative 2 months after the fact.

And you might want to check first before you go and trash people on
usenet. We have had numerous discussions on the 8-track group. I used
to think somewhat highly of you but not anymore. Have fun stalking
Nudo.
