Re: Thread Regarding "Possible Fraud"
Seems the thread got a bit personal, but alot of educational stuff in that thread.
Particularly how some exploit the "gift" payments and the washed jersey situation.
I understand things have to be monitored and sometimes people must be kept in "check" but that doesn't mean we shouldn't learn about the repetitive issues in the community.

Re: Thread Regarding "Possible Fraud"
I agree with you about the education of items. Some collectors have got stuck with something that wasn't what they thought or in some cases washed a jersey which to me is altering an item and then tries to sell the jersey with no mention of that. Maybe one or two collectors knew about it and I wish would tell everyone. I was going to purchase the Briggs 12/25/11 jersey you see on Ebay occasionally which was not identified as washed but a Bears collector contacted me telling me the jersey was washed saving me a purchase.

Re: Thread Regarding "Possible Fraud"
You guys are right full disclosure and honesty.
Then let the buyer decide if they want to buy an item.

Re: Thread Regarding "Possible Fraud"
Yeah I finally got the buyer to tell me the Briggs was washed after about 5 emails(he ignored the question but would respond to everything else) and telling him that another Bears collector already told me the jersey was washed and sent me a photo of the original jersey.

Re: Thread Regarding "Possible Fraud"
The photo comparisons of the AP gamer really deserve to be place somewhere.
I've bought from anythingdish several times, wouldn't hesitate to do so again. He always been quick to respond, great to communicate with and fast to ship. Not to mention pack stuff very well.
Having said that, the AP gamer really settles bad with me. I don't care about any of the "gossip" chatter either.
What I care about is how that jersey was sold and depicted and what it really is. For everybody who wants to come in and talk about forum rules, I came here to be educated, improve my collecting and learn. This forum is one of the very few outlets that allow that to occur.
It bothers me to see two posts deleted completely over the past week. Things can be edited and people can be spoken too, removal in does very little beneficial.
Some of us should be able to see the true character from those we buy, sell and trade with first hand. It's nice to see now people handle themselves when money isn't on the line for a sale.

Re: Thread Regarding "Possible Fraud"
Okay, for those that don't read the forum rules, here is a portion of one of the rules you should be aware of:
...while this forum is designed to help educate collectors, we will not allow comments that accuse entities in the hobby of participating in any form of criminal wrong-doing. Any posts suggesting criminal wrong-doing should be brought to the attention of the moderators immediately.
Even worse in this instance, there was an accusation of "possible fraud" based on speculation of something that had not even transpired. This kind of stuff will not be allowed here on Game Used Universe. If that is what you are interested in doing and participating in, there are plenty of other sites that will allow it. Further, the personal information of the one accused, including where they live, was posted on the thread. Sorry but that will not be allowed here.
If you are not happy with the way the forum is administrated, you are free to leave and not use the site anymore. In fact, we will refund the cost of the membership for you….
Oh yeah, I forgot, you are using the site and enjoying the benefits of participating here for free. Guess that makes things even easier if you don't like it here anymore.
