mrearlygold is STILL at it - In case you didn't already know it, he is (STILL) more important than t

mrearlygold (and his offerings) must be more important than the rest of us.

For, he has apparently decided he need not abide by the long established and often repeated forum guidelines of one TTT per day. He has chosen on multiple occasions recently, to ignore those guidelines at the expense of others' threads.

Edited to add: I promise not to TTT this thread more than once per day. image

  • I already knew that, but thanx for sharing.


    Just admitting that some of you are more important than others is the first step to recovery.

    .............I guess I must NOT be Important.
  • I don't post on here a whole lot, so don't know what certain rules would apply in certain cases, but it appears that he is adding NEW coins to his one and only allowed thread - thus the bump ........ that seems fair to me? I do see a couple of extra bumps, but most of them are from other people OR from adding new coins.

    Just curious - it seems that adding more coins to the one and only allowed thread would be - allowed?

    Once you decide to list - it is a very time consuming job to scan/upload/etc.......... and it generally is done in 'spurts'. It generally is not all done at once. I don't see why all the complaining - it's not like the guy has truly abused his privileges, but just adding to his ONE list - LIKE he is supposed to do!?

    Neptune, plenty of other forum members add coins to threads. But they (the vast majority of them, anyway) don't TTT those threads more than once per day.

    And, for those who like to see such forum guidelines in writing: link
  • TTT's are fine, Just as long as they're one per day

    Pretty clear to me.

    It's a respect thing. If I add coins to my listing I "Edit" my post which doesn't bring it to the front page. Just my 2 cents. Oh bye the way, I did TTT twice in one day recently and was duly notified that I shouldn't haveimage Lee
  • BochimanBochiman Posts: 25,441 ✭✭✭✭✭
    It is a respect thing...respect for others.
    But, some members, as Mark posted, do believe they are much better than the rest of the people posting.
    If you happen to read threads on the USCoin Forum, you can see in writing, a few weeks back, where a certain thread originator (not Mark), stated how much better he is than another because of the "circles" he runs in (ie...the rich/high class crowd)

    btw...I felt like TTTing on this thread image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    ....and in case anyone was wondering, that WASN'T me! Call me paranoid.
    Though I only broke this rule once that I am aware of, ever since Mr Feld advised me of the 24 hour rule I FULLY intend to abide by it.

    Wow this is still going on huh? And feld, you can't compete in the coin business as evidenced by your long career as an "employee", so the best you can do is harassment from your keyboard on a free message board. You're a real pro. image



    Anyway boys and girls, last night was quite a sale! Early gold was virtually untouchable and the nicer specimens went for sky high money at ANR. CC type went into the outer limits. Watch for updates on new thread hopefully later tonight. And stay happy huh? There's always circ roosevelts for you.

    Tom,

    Whether or not Feld is a competent numismatist or dealer is immaterial to the message he is trying to deliver: that there is a written rule around here regarding conduct. If you disagree with that, fine. But, let's try to keep this topical, ok?

    In the spirit of fairness, Mark, perhaps it would be more appropriate for you not to accuse Tom of self-importance. Simply point out that he is unapologetic in his violation of a rule of conduct here is sufficient.

    Tom,

    You and I have since made amends on our disagreements but the response that you threw at Mark is the kind of elitist remark that has always made me leary of dealing with you.

    And, last time I checked, Mark has his own business. Give him a break and just follow the rules. There is no need for a war over this.

    You and Mark represent different entities in this business. You are a definite retailer of coins. Mark is more of a wholesaler, which just happens to be where I like to operate as well.

    Here is a good joke to add some levity to the situation and it is coin related. Take it with a grain of salt.

    What is the difference between a coin wholesaler and a retailer?

    A wholesaler has a conscience... image

    John,

    We spent 5 consecutive days scanning and uploading photos of great coins on our website. I updated as they were uploaded. I haven't done that before. If in fact I bent the rule of the bst forum, anyone could have simply pm'd me and that would have been that. There certainly was no reason to be as disrespectful as starting of an entirely new thread with a title such as this one.

    Far as feld having a business, well congratulations. Let's see the status of that in time.

    Far as me being an elitist. Call it whatever you like but with the type of material I specialize in and have specialized in for many years, I choose who to do business with every bit as much as a customer has the choice of who he does business with. It's a mutual agreement in business or it's no business at all. I'm not open to the public per se and definitely don't subscribe to the theory that I must do business with everyone. Just as the material I've handled over the years is special, so are my customers special. I'm not saying you aren't special either John so don't get psycho ok? You and I didn't bond at that time.

    Tom, please have the courtesy and be fair to others in abiding by the forum guidelines of one TTT for your thread per day. Thank you.

    TTT'd 4x on 1/4, 1 of which was after Feld's POLITE comment

    it was after the THIRD TTT on 1/5 that Feld became not so polite with this comment.

    To readers of this thread, please note that Tom (and his offerings) must be more important than the rest of us.

    For, he has apparently decided he need not abide by the long established and often repeated forum guidelines of one TTT per day. He has chosen on multiple occasions recently, to ignore those guidelines at the expense of others' threads.

    Which was responded to with this......


    Don't be such a pansy Markie.

    Don't you hate it when threads like this push all the real BST stuff further down?

    I wish there was a checkbox option on each post that would let the post stay in its original position when something new is added...

    Hmmm,
    In my life, I have met people who openly defy established rules.
    They respond to pleas for right acting with righteous indignation, while Refusing to acknowledge that they don't play fair.
    You know the type. Those that constantly seek to acquire, rather than give. Shall I go on.
    I just have a hard time with that mind set. I usually avoid those people.
    I'm trying to sell stuff. I'd like a fair chance at getting it viewed, rather than being pushed into oblivion by people with a thread per coin, or who are so anxious to sell, they step all over people.
    But, A thought I posted in another thread. Sometimes people answer questions, or update, or other people ttt the thread at an inopportune time. how do we handle that?

  • Don't know either gentleman, but will surmise both are. Seems the kindergarten rule of yesteryear re. sharing the tonka toy and not stealing it, is in order, not to mention washing dirty laundry. If I, in anyway, had a hand in the continuence of the issue,by posting my pathetic attempt at humor previously, I apologize if it was taken as something more than it was intended to be. I do, however,detect a level of unnecessary discourtesy , by one of the parties,for which the only gentlemanly response is apology,regardless of differences. IMHO.
  • Maybe if you people stop entertaining this thread, someone will PM me with a 37-S Walker they wish to sell. I'm in total agreement with Barry's post. Of course, a smack upside my head for pushing it down farther.image
