    Supply and demand for Nickelodeon toys. This discontinued 'Umizoomi Umirific Car' just cost me close to $100. Not long ago it was a $20 toy. Last Christmas they sold for $300+. What we do for our kids....

    I don't know if that's the right comic but in the early 2000s when I was at UK, I had always ordered as my "go to" meal a three chicken plank/fries/Pepsi (yes they had Pepsi when I was there; score! image ) at the on campus Long John Silvers (it's since become a Chik-Fil-A) and someone jokingly put a comic up at my cubbyhole (?) with a waitress saying "Here's your three piece chicken combo sir" and on the plate is three chickens playing instruments like a fiddle and such. I thought it was cute. image

    Looks undergraded? Like implying it could be a 10 instead of a 9? They must have made a typo in the listing title and probably meant overgraded, not under. 9PD at best considering the blurry registration.

  • I thought I might be having a spazattack when I saw one of those "I Love My ____" dog bumper stickers. The image didn't look right. The "dog" was wearing a baseball cap and a multi-millionaire grin. Got a little closer. The cap read "LA".



    The caption: "I Love My Puig". image

    The sellers and those on here that defend those "tricks" or shady practices. Excuses like "there was probably a glare at the angle" or had to tilt it that way for a better pic. etc. They're so well versed that they sound like retailers themselves. We're not that stupid.

  • A guy on here that criticizes auctioned cards that people ask opinions of. To drive down the price, number of bidders and attention for that card. Then bids on the card himself. Smart I guess but a bit unethical. Most of the Cu members would recognize his ID (or initials). Just buyer or poster beware. Ticks me off.
  • KbKardsKbKards Posts: 1,782 ✭✭✭
    People who ask for an opinion of a card currently at auction, when they are in fact the seller of the card trying to drum up interest for their card. Many feel obligated to give their opinion with no knowledge or experience with the issue, just going along with the consensus of previous opinions, wrong or right.

  • Complaint: Ebayers winning a live auction and then relisting the item they won on a different account within minutes of winning using the pics from the previous auction, i.e. they do not even possess the item yet. The attempt at a quick flip is funny. Example:

  • I also don't have a particular axe to grind, but if Meatloaf wants to continue to post here, he should address what was said on Blowout in some manner.
  • EstilEstil Posts: 7,083 ✭✭✭✭
    That's more like redundant if you ask me.



    How about this trend lately of when a team gets blownout in a HS game or something and the losing coach complains about running up the score. Even though in nearly all cases the winning coach puts in the 2nd/3rd stringers as soon as the outcome is no longer in doubt (which is always a smart move because it gives those players valuable experience, they may need to be first stringers next year or two, and in UK's case, our "Rudy" players are always a fan favorite). If you don't like getting blown out, then try a little harder next time! image



    And I think a couple years or so ago the Georgia coach was complaining about all the UK fans in the SEC tournament and how that's nearly all the fans that come. If he doesn't like it, then offer freebies to the student body so they can come; it's not our fault Georgia is a football school! image
