Just a 'taste' of things to come...online in eBooks in 2012.
Greetings Fellow ebayers. Pardon me for a moment, but I must insist upon tossing in my 2 cents here. All I got is a ten spot, so keep the change... I just happen to be passing thru all the ebay links for research on a related topic/issue to the ~~ebay experience~~ & this riot going on here is compelling material. I will comment for purposes of this record that I ask no forgiveness for my input. I carry a loaded Stiff Upper Lip and I shoot my mouth off when the appropriate situation arises.....hence, my comments: I have been a HardCore ebuyer since May 06; I have spent in excess of $80,000 to date, & now that I HAVE IT ALL (read: way too much), I think it wise to get out of this RACKET while I still have my wits about me.(what did i buy? ask me why?) I find the Sellers herein to brandish exceptionally well-grounded valid concerns, legitimate gripes and Dead-On Complaints to the order of manesfesting insurrection on a level that the common NON-seller would never grasp. But I do! I never have nor ever intend to be an ebay seller. Nevertheless, I personally have a colorful Bizniss Background in the Swap Meet venue of commerce, and community. Truely it is an outdoors environment--I expect you all to appreciate the Fresh Air connotations therein.... Conversely, this marketplace & all on-line/e-commerce venues are inheirantly the end-result of an evolutionary process which has been devised, managed & operated by the species of lifeform we all know as MAN......& unto this I say "IT SURE AIN'T KIND!!!!" What's more: It's getting really HOT & STUFFY in this electronic vacuum of excess consumer goods, faulty products, useless trinkets, high-priced Cool Stuff, Bargains with killer shipping fees, greedy mortals/cons and the everlasting perpetual all-consuming self-absorbed single-objective short-sighted and eternally mass-exhaulted Feeding Frenzy Machine most popularly known in the Western World as......MONOLITHIC CAPITALISM. Here's Wizdom: Big things tend to annoy, abuse and crush smaller things. People, for example. Folks. Ya'll. And yours. Those guys over there..& the clown standing behind you with sumpthin' up his sleeve. As The Worker/Consumer Class & members of the Masses, YOU are infinately greater in numbers than the limited few who build & commandeer the Ships of The Corporate States--ah-ha!--and it is they & THAT which has so generously given unto ye ALL THAT GLITTERS.. And it's On Sale-Hurry While Supplies Last, because when they're gone...YOU'RE DONE!!! YOU, ye Sellers...and YOU thy Buyers..are the cogs of the Wheels of Commerce, Industry & High Finance!!!! & you let it happen. Not yer fault--it's how you were taught & lied-to all yer life. It's The ONLY Game In Town...the Greastest Show (of fiscal earnings) On Earth!! It's the Goo of which Society is made of..& ain't we priveledged in The Free World to have more than our unfair share of abuse, pain & suffering as members of the dysfunctional Family of Man??? This ebay Yard Sale of The Galaxy bag AIN'T COMMUNITY!!! Thus: Gripes. It's orchestrated global corner liquor store shenanigans!! Cheat me~Beat you...we're all repeating history & drinkin' the same poison of choice, eh? Competition, NOT cooperation, is the name of the GAME in this life. The rules are there are no rules until somebody meaner & uglier than you busts yer chops because they said so & you get & go with that program so's ya don't get hurt (much) anymore until ya die. Check it out-I don't lie. Games on ebay. How small. I humbly implore ye woeful Sellers to expand your views on who & what you truely are: "e-Carnies". You got yer booth, runnin' yer particular brand of Pay to Play sideshow goodies under the eBIG TOPbay....hawking yer wares making the deals offering free this & jackin'-up that.... Yer Magicians--Masters of illusions, buyin' & sellin' all that GLITTER to the buy-crap-happy masses on a global scale unparalleled in the sequences of the human shoppng experience.... Games on ebay? If you weren't so choked up under that LookSharp necktie of yours doin'- the- do in a day's work at the Bay Mill... tryin' to make a buck MINUS FEES...ya might have a keener insight on the duality of Winners versus Losers, & come to some meaningful understanding that in the sight & minds of the patron population perusing the products.... YOU ARE THE GAME!!!! AND ya payed to play to boot!! What a hoot! I see hereabouts the enthusiastics raves of the buyer-class singing the Praises of the games....and so long as they're HAPPY....nobody gets hurt, eh? "Give the People What They Want". That's a seller's #1 duty on the job, remember? Failing that, what good are ya? Giving it all away cuz yer a Nice Guy? Doing The Lord's Work? Playin' The FOOL? Pullin' a Prank? Goofin' off? BELLY UP TO THE BAR OF FREE MARKET COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE, will ya? That is...so long as you're willingly (albeit begrudgingly) offering up thy sacrifices to the Altar of the Dreaded Fees, Inc. dot com**** Now, I'm a reasonable Court-appointed Jester...and I feel the burning indignation & societal rapefactor of fees....SHIPPING FEES!!!!! That's an "S" and an "F" word put together to spell SF. Sure, it DON"T make sense...yet it's painful all the same. Life ain't fair. Bizniss ain't fair. ebay ain't fair. A whole sh#*@tLOAD of ebay sellers are so unfair that they're criminals & gettin' away with it!!!! And how do I know it's SO???!!!???? Cuz me and 43 other ebuyers got BURNED over a 2 month timespan & despite the claims, reports & complaints that ushered in to ebay/PayPay in that time..NOTHING WAS DONE TO PUT A STOP TO THE BLATENT CRIMINALITY.....until 2, mebbe 3 days ago, hoo-ray... And THAT'S what my aforementioned RESEARCH is all about. LAW Crap!! Thanks for asking. Thanks for daring to be with me in print (ePrint). Thanks for accepting the Challenge of commercial kaos in an otherwise dull & boring Third World......THX for the attractive eRIOT goin' on here!!! And unto you eBUYERS, I say: Keep the Fifth, Plead The Faith & don't let those eBastards get away with yer money, yer stuff or "IT". I am the guy behind the ebay ID 898sarahg curtain...(not a Lawyer on TV but I play one in real life). Checkout my FeedBack....& I have spoken (eTold ya so). You are free to git. (git on widditt) C):-{= {im going to another Box Riot down the line here...and boy..I'm really gonna let 'em have it.... SF!! THEY started it.....
