    Buyer beware is usually a good code in any situation where you are buying items, sight unseen from an anonymous stranger who is on the internet, possibly in another state.

    If people ask questions we are usually quick to help them out, even if it has been brought up many times in the past. Other places they just tell you to search the forums or JFGI!

    This was morphing into a sales pitch for SS, but then it was brought back around to the original post....

    Fkme. Seller can sell for whatever they desire. Nobody held gun to head of buyer to commit. Not the fault of seller.

    SS is not a place where traders try to rip off unsuspecting buyers. There are far more educated n00bs per capita here compared to ebay.

    Seriously.

    And, of course you are going to get your occasional tools in SS.

    Shyt, I wouldn't turn down $100 AUD for an Aussie $0.05 cent piece.

    Congrats to seller.

    Sick of people complaining about sellers and buyers on SS.

    Buyers whining about sellers rejecting lowballs.
    Sellers whining about buyers offering lowballs.

    Not many of you have haggling experience OFFLINE. Fkme.

    Get use to it people; sellers and buyers will offer overpriced items and lowballs respectively.

    Very rare to actually observe someone like me and fishballs (I must put him and myself on a pedestal) whereby selling too cheap and having fishballs offering too much, vice versa. We rule.

    hiho, redback, fishball, maggie, blockhead (even RhythmDoctor) and a few others will look out for you if you look out for them.

    Cut your damm whining. Every week the same crap.

    Okay, enough rants. I go for coffee break my nerves peaking something shocking.

    Hear hear!! Well said, my good man. You Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. I salute you. :cool:

    To add to your noble diatribe... "And I am sick of people continually whining about Ebay. Get it over it people!" And furthermore, "Cease whining about counterfeit coins! Get used to it! Counterfeit coins have been circulating for over a 1000 years, and people have whined about it for over 1000 years. This must stop! Let the 1000 years of whining cease in the year 2012. Get over it." :cool:

    Sorry dudes, but please don't PM me. I gave unfunkable the evidence, as he was first cab off the rank. Don't want to reply to loads of PMs, thanks.

    As ladybird would say, It's human nature.

    I am a hypocrite, and I do not doubt I too will premeditate a complaint about lowballers in due time.

    Maxine, my work colleague, with an IQ of 167, says they are correct. Nevertheless, please give Marco my kindest regards. :) I do hope that he has recovered from that awful incident. Please tell him not to worry, quite a few people who were there, apologised on his behalf, after he stormed off.
