Quoted from happilymarried05:

Ok so yea I retired in 2007 from a car accident so don't act like you know me. It was a very horrible thing. I am a police officer until the day I die PERIOD. I am a marine until the day I die PERIOD so don't sit there and try to mock me for what I said. July 1 2008 I retired I will never forget it and I'm going to say you hit a sore spot because I was retired trying to protect and serve so don't speak on personal issues you know nothing of trying to be a smart ass. I didn't even read the rest of your post because the first line pissed me off. Just because I can not work the streets does not mean I'm not an officer. I keep my certification up to date and what I did during my deployments and the commitment I made to my country makes me a marine until I die as well.. OORAH.

You can't even get your story straight in the same paragraph! lol It's a day you will never forget ..July1 2008, orrrr 2007 like a sentence earlier syas...
LMAO ..responder OUT

Lol no agenda I just find people funny. Everyone jumps on board and bulllets fly so quickly, people judge you and tell you what you are and what you are not like they know you.

You do realize how many judgments you've already made in this thread?

#54 8 years ago

You answer emails in order but sell to the first person with cash.To many people say I will be there on tue and turn into a no show.

#55 8 years ago

Thanks for your service to our country HM.
Your ethics are honorable, wish more sellers thought like that. But like Joey said...cash is king. First person putting it in yer hand gets the prize.
Play ball !

But....it's just pinball man !

exactly my point. This jerk off wants to bring up things he knows nothing of and its honestly gotten me hot. Does anyone know how to block users? I can not remember

#57 8 years ago

It's easier to just stop checking in after you say OP OUT, and stop sending p.m.s to the "idiot."

Quoted from happilymarried05:

Lets be honest here, and I like all people because I'm a mut, But every pinball party or auction I have been too there were not a lot of minorities at. Winston auction there were 6 total. I don't care but as a minority I notice these things. I feel out of place in the pin world because a majority of the people I meet I have nothing in common with, ie: I am a criminal justice major, marine/police. Lets think back to college, every group had their own little click. Jocks, rich kids, the brothas, the goths etc etc. I could care less what anybody looks like or does but I am not oblivious to my surroundings either. I was simply pointing out a diverse background

There aren't many minorities involved in sailing, hockey, or swimming either. They don't seem to have much interest. What's your point?

#61 8 years ago

no biggie I blocked those who had negative comments. All good. Its pinball, supposed to be fun not drama filled.

Have a great day GRYSZZZ

#62 8 years ago

Ok, awesome, so you can't see this right? so no more name calling p.m.s? sweet

p.s..... I don't think you really blocked anyone

#63 8 years ago

I vote that the op has the most fitting avatar. I feel like I am on meth reading some of those posts.

Man I thought you were done 5 posts ago....
Finished now ?

^^^ This but with caveat if someone says I'll purchase it provided it meets criteria X AND I'm coming today at 3pm... I'd not let somelse else get in front of this guy. So, if someone else wanted it and said the same thing I'd say they are 2nd in line and I have someone visiting at 3pm. I'll keep this new guy as 2nd in line if he wants and tell him the result of the 3pm meeting.

In other words I wouldn't let someone else show up earlier and scoop it up...

That said... if the original guy said I'll take it but I can't be there until next week... then I'd require a deposit or I'd tell him it is still on the market and if someone purchases it before then I'll let him know.

Quoted from happilymarried05:

That is BS. I am a marine and police officer. My world doesn't work like that no matte how many ppl are full of it. You approach me first you get first dibs, PERIOD. Part of whats wrong with our world everyone has a PRICE. That's why Trump is in the lead for the Republican race he can't be bought.
It's ashamed ppl in general can be.

Asks for peoples opinions and goes off on a tangent after two responses...Da fuq? Do you drive a Dodge Stratus too?

#69 8 years ago

By the way... this would be a great example of thread for which it would be ideal if posts could be flagged as off-topic. And then you could choose to not see the off-topic posts so you can just read the actual responses to the original question of

"Say I am asking 4500 for a machine and someone asks me to send photos. During the time I am supposed to send photos someone shows up and offers me my asking price, In my mind I can't do that because I am already in talks with someone else who while he has not offered full price I just feel he should be treated with respect and at least given the chance to purchase. Is this not how people think?"

Additionally, OP perhaps by keeping your original post more succinct (as none of those details seem germane to the question) this off topic stuff may have been avoided. (Just a thought)

Lastly - Thank you for your service as a marine and police officer!

Apparently there is NO ethics in pinball

#78 8 years ago
Quoted from happilymarried05:

Oh, PLEASE ignore me! That way I can talk shit about you and you'll have no idea.

This seems like one of the threads / posts I would have made while drinking too much. Which, after a few warnings and ejects, I've quit doing. But yeah! Good times.

And so another week begins on Pinside...

#87 8 years ago

I couldn't imagine you were a police officer with this attitude. Don't they have to stay calm and non judgemental?

He probably was relieved of his duties because he's Fu$&@/g crazy !

Hey man, just a heads up, your posts have been by far the most insulting and combative posts in this thread. I mean yeah you posted "have a great day" and "hope this made your day better" but we are all capable of understanding the context of your condescending tone. You don't get to pretend your insults are positivity just because you presented them in the form of sarcasm.

Wow, this thread went down hill. I'm pretty disappointed that it hasn't been locked at this point.

I've found it's a great place to get stuff off your chest as long as you are thick skinned enough to take a beating when you are being an idiot.

OK folks. This has been a (short) strange trip. We laughed. We cried. We scratched our head a few times. And now it's time to swing the lock-o-matic on this thread.
