He's actually a really nice guy. I sold him a pin and it was one of the easiest sales I ever had. Met up with him at Allentown to get him the pin and we hung out for a few hours grabbing lunch and playing pins. Seems like anyone else who has bought/sold with him has had a similar experience.
We all take great pride in our pins and don't like when condition/price is questioned when we put so much blood, sweat and tears into them. Granted, he has come across strong in some responses (I live near Pittsburgh and have a GBLE!!), but there are also a number of Pinsiders who seem to enjoy antagonizing sellers. That is something I'll never understand. These are the same people who react the same way as the OP is when something they're selling gets ripped apart or they get called out for something.
I know that he's not completely getting out of the hobby and is selling to fund something else. He can share what that is if he wants when he gets back from his 2 day ban.
Quoted from knockerlover:Chippewa-Pin, nice of you to come to someone's defense like that. True that we all take great pride in our pins, but I welcome the feedback from the pinsider community on price. I'm even thankful when my for sale posts get flamey because that means more exposure to potential buyers! I'm not sure buying HEP pins counts as blood sweat and tears, but that's another thread all together.
That being said, saying that SLT "has come across strong" is a slight understatement, and the responses were completely uncalled for. I for one want this hobby to grow, and don't see any reason to judge the merit of anyone's comment based on how expansive their collection is or how long they have been a pinsider. If we treat everyone this way, who will want to be a part of our community? Everyone is entitled to their opinion but the comment that set this whole thing off "10k by today!" is a lot different (and I dont think all that antagonistic) than the responses by SLT. THAT, is a sure fire way to get antagonized though.
I appreciate and understand your comments. Pinside threads that go off course always snowball into debauchery. We can all do the Pinside community a favor and make sure we are adding value to a post before hitting the "Send Post" button. If there isn't a spark, there isn't a fire. Regardless of how small the spark is, a fire can start.
Quoted from beelzeboob:I think he's selling because he's getting a shore house. He's not financially strapped at all.
And I pump my own gas...I'm too Type A to wait for those slow pokes to get around to my car. So annoying...
OT: I'm in Mahwah NJ right now. The question is, do you tip the guys? If they would have cleaned the 300 spots of bug guts from the 6 hour trip, I would have.
