And BTW, you would lose that bet. I got quite a few "hang in there" and "those guys are douches" type of comments when all this stuff went down. And I thank and respect those people for their comments.

Dude, you really haven't been around much, haven't you?

Edit: It's also kind of amusing how much that BTA case is costing Hooksdaddy. If he had just eaten the cost of those Volcanic Islands, people would now be remembering him as a stand-up guy, and he'd probably get bites on his proposal.

It only takes one action (or in your case more, thanks to the reminder post from Thanos) to spoil your reputation with the rest of the community.

You really should just delete this thread to save yourself more pain. Unless you want to be continually harassed and your name dragged through the mud even more. Then by all means, keep it open for all new and returning members to see who not to trust in a trade.

In that BTA case you all worked under(and still work under) the assumption that I had received the package and was stealing from ryusei even though the DC showed it as delivered is why u think I should've given all 4 volcanics. When in fact the package never did get to me. So I did what I thought and still think was Right. I offered half because both parties were at fault. I could've gotten my mail held. Ryusei could've gotten signature/insurance on a $250+ deal.
But I guess if you don't have a mob mentality you don't belong here.

You're right. Motl is no longer the place that it once was. Its gone downhill drastically over the past few years.
In baldr and my case I actually got 15-20 people sending me messages about what a prick he had been during their trades and one person saying that they had suspected him of switching out cards for lesser conditioned ones and then complaining. I had originally suspected him of the same thing because I know what some of my cards looked like but didn't take pics beforehand so I could never prove anything....so I got stuck. But I argued price point as baldr was attempting to extort something like $400 from me for cards. Then jaz got involved, asked for opinions on conditions and came up with that I owed $75(if memory serves correctly). I retorted and told jaz that it should actually be $100? Because you had to take into consideration that it was a collection as a whole and not individual cards.
So why would I cost myself more money?? Why would I split the loss with  ryusei? Could it be because its the right thing to do...the fair thing?

So whatever you guys wanna think you're gonna think but you're flat out wrong.

---

im quoting your entire post, just to keep it on record.
You accuse baldr of swapping worse condition cards into a collection? You've got balls. No brains though. I've not seen anyone defend you, even with your claims. surprising none of them have posted here to say what a standup guy you are. and as to
"why would I cost myself more money?? Why would I split the loss with ryusei?" it happens all the time. It's called a settlement. makes the problem go away before it costs you more $ and more bad press.

you're digging yourself a very nice hole. the 'delete the thread' advice looks like something you might want to consider.

I will be closing this now, as it's gone WAAAAY off topic now.

Hoosk, I have to say this. You ARE the reason it went off topic like this in the first place. YOU caused this downhill slide. There was NO reason to post what you did, and it honestly seems to me that you posted it in order to cause this!! You sat there and pretty much begged people to post here to defame you by insulting them all.

Even in your "apology" about not being clear on your intentions here, you blamed it on everyone not having enough common sense! And "everyone" in that case, included me, as you posted that AFTER I told you that, to me, it seemed as though you just wanted someone to buy it, sight/knowledge unseen, and trust you that it was worth it. And that I thought that might be a part of the problem to those who posted.

Multiple members point out that such vagueness isn't exactly the best way to go about this, given his BTA history.

Hoosk blames bad responses as the reason for his vague first post (is hoosk psychic?), completes cyclical argument.

Wheeeeeeee!

---

Zeckk's post here was EXACTLY what happened. Except he missed the part where you blame everyone else for not understanding your vague post.

Instead of jumping to the conclusion that everyone who posted about this not being a good deal because of how vague you were being was harassing you, couldn't you have given them the benefit of the doubt (as you ask for yourself) and clarified what your intentions actually were? Instead of insulting everyone, why not just say "Oh crap, I guess I forgot to add that I will email an entire list of the cards involved to whomever is interested. Sorry for the confusion." ???

As I told you via PM, I have always liked you, but this time I think you went a bit too far. I wish you luck on getting/selling/whatever this collection.

Thanks,
Jazaray
