Home Buy, Sell & Trade - Cards & Memorabilia

To those SPAMMING galore on here with their auctions

Not that it is personally my business, but if you people are going to continually spam this place until the F'ing tumbleweeds roll through, you should at least put SPAM in the titles so people don't have to waste their time looking at your crap if they don't feel like buying from ebay...
I know some do and that's cool. They allow the friggin spam here and at least some have enough respect to know that Buy Sell Trade generally means buy sell trade your cards here, not on ebay and then ask us here to look at your auctions there... GET A FRIGGIN CLUE!!!

    Spam kind of reminds me of Vienna Sausages... Nasty mushy crap. But I do agree that liver is much worse.

  • Dear Dirtmonkey,

    Since I put (spam) in my thread title I won't take your thread personally. I have followed spam threads on several occasions to ebay and personal sites and have found cards that I needed for my sets. So I will have to disagree with your thread, however, not your right to write it. I guess I should spend more time reading the Nolan Ryan thread or the Wheres Vargha thread, these are much more interesting and help the hobby move forward to new heights.

    Thanks Remo

    PS: I just put two PSA 10 NQ Friggin Clues on ebay if anyone is interested. image

    Is it really that difficult for one to not say something to the effect of ebay or SPAM in their title? When I see someone put "Roethlisberger Rookie" as a title and I have to open it up to find out the only way I can work a deal for it is to bid on it when I leave this site and go to ebay, that's pretty silly. You're obviously not offering it here, just through here. So even though this site allows it where many others do not or have a specified forum to post them in, it would be helpful to those of us who may be here to trade or buy here here if people included that in the title.

    BTW, you may want to remove your" Friggin Clue" auctions from ebay... Everyone knows if they are yours, they are likely forgeries image

  • So you are saying that PSA would grade a forgery as a 10. You are making this claim on THIS BOARD!!!????? Even though this site allows you to make such outragous statements, I am here to defend PSA and say that my friggin clues are most certainly original, authentic and verifiably real. Cheese is being served on the poop deck where this thread belongs.

    Stop the hate. Can't we all just get along.

    Nope, but nice try... I was indicating that your friggin clues must be fake because it's obvious you don't really have one.


    Again, my request was simply to make the boards easier for the people who actually do their buying, trading and selling here as PSA likely intended IMO. Many don't come here to shop on ebay. If I'm looking to buy "on ebay", it usually seems like it would be more intelligent to go "to ebay". But, because some think it's necessary to continue to do so, I requested that they add the word spam or ebay in their title so that those of us who are actually looking to trade or even buy from someone here will know the difference between those posts and the ones where people aren't offering them for trade or sale here... It's a simple concept, likely to benefit all.

  • I agree on your feelings on putting it the title, but I see this problem more on the newcgroups, then on this site. Not sure where you are seeing it that much considering lately the posts per day are less then 10 new ones. This post I think has gotten the most responses I have seen in quite a while. And of course half the responses have nothing to do with the original post.

    To be completely honest, it was mostly directed at one person on here. Although others do it, those people seem to offer trades probably as often as their auctions. One person in particular seems to ONLY offer links to his auctions and I don't recall really seeing any trade posts from him or even sales offered to the forum members directly.

    I'm aware that many already have been doing what I was asking of them, but some do not. Some even offer to close the auction early of offer free shipping to forum members and that's cool. But I don't feel people should just have a post directing us to an auction on ebay when most of us are capable of finding that card on ebay ourselves if we are interested. As I said, most other forums I use do not allow this at all.
    Some have a designated forum for ones ebay auctions, but some sites do not allow you to post your auctions at all. Xtrainningscards - you should remember when this forum used to really be busy with trading and site sales. When I talk to most of the old members on other sites, they no longer come here because the spam gets so bad at times. Maybe it's not bad right now in the range of numbers per day, but there are still quite a few auction listings on the first few pages. Further, I see some members bumping their own post when it's still on the first page. Guess it really doesn't matter in the end...

  • So why not send him a personal message? I know, your trying to pump up your chest!

    Yes, that was my sole intent. You caught me there, slyguy. Actually, if I were trying to "pump up my chest", I would have insisted that they do exactly what I say. Further, I might have added some possible consequences just to try to appear like I really meant business. On the other hand, I stated that people should put something in the title of their thread to indicate it was and auction. This would show a little respect to those of us who weren't looking to buy from ebay or to those who may not even be members on ebay.

    In addition, I chose not to send him a PM simply because this still applied to others. I'm still trying to figure out why my post has bothered you so much. What's the problem with adding "ebay" or "spam" to your title? If someone is truly looking to buy, they will definitely look at your post. If they have no interest in buying, they will know that there is no need to open the thread.

    In the end, you may have not liked the way I posted my suggestion but I'm not here to caress egos... Thus, grow some thicker skin. Have a nice day image
