Re: stay away from the ebay seller "33-bird"

Wow - the poor guy is deaf, and you have the nerve to call him abrasive? We all need to respect each other's learning differences. He's already apologized if he was being rude. The seller may have been lying to cover up his insults, hence why he had "deleted" the OP's emails. Whatever the reason, the OP was just trying to warn people to deal with caution with the seller in question. Not worth getting into a fight over.

I missed that part, however, I'm not sure what not being able to hear has to do with reading and writing? However, I concur that the seller was unnecessarily abusive and a warning to that effect seems fair.

Hi Marcus -

Something to consider about this exchange...

Email and forum posts unfortunately can mean different things to different people. The tone is usually lost somewhere, and people take offense to things like sarcasm (even when you are trying to be funny)...

I am not trying to offend you here, either - but you may want to speak a little more clearly in your posts (emails too). You might be the most educated person here, but if your posts ramble with poor grammar, a seller might get the idea that you are not a serious buyer - or a kid playing games with him.

The language used by him was unacceptable (if this is indeed the language he used) - but to attempt to ruin a guy's rep in a very public place is not the best way to make friends in the community...I know of very solid sellers who are not the friendliest people in the world.

Take the advice that Nate gave you and leave that type of thing to eBay.
It's great that you want to help, but it really sounds like you were out of line with your "greedy" comment (and I am a prolific seller/buyer on eBay with 100% feedback).

Regards - and hopefully you get some resolution.

Hey Bigtruck,
It's amazing how much you look like La Russa

I always see a younger Peter Paul Gualtieri aka Paulie "Walnuts" from the Sopranos when I see your photo.

WHAT??? 13+ years and then you abandon ship! Less than 7 years and you could have had a retirement check for the rest of your life.

I know a good recruiter (lol)

LOL, tell me about it. One day my ex-spouse just got tired of being a wife/mom/American and hit the road back to her native land. There I was with my two boys and can't take kids on deployments with you so I had no choice but to cut loose. I am now in the final stages of obtaining my B.S. and still doing the single father deal. As mentioned I miss it more than I could have ever imagined. I shop at a local Marine base commissary and just being in an environment where men and women carry themselves in such a professional and respectful manner brings back fond memories although does make me feel old - those young men and women are everything good about this country. All the best to you and yours Tony and thanks for serving!

God Bless America

Sorry that your wife left you and the kids like that. Seems like a horrible thing to do to one's family; I know I'd hate it if my Mom just decided to up and leave. I respect the military and what it does for America, but I honestly don't see how they are "everything good about this country." Care to explain? I'm not trying to be rude here; I just would like to better understand your perspective. Good luck with being a single dad!

No thanks Frik, I think I'll steer clear of this one and really no desire to explain. Don't want this to steer away from a collecting post. I was just saying hi to Tony, a fellow service member. Best of luck in all your endeavors.

Wow, "steer clear" is like you're avoiding a land mine. I was just curious...I seem to be skating on thin ice. I guess you've got to be careful of certain personalities; they'll blow up at any second.

When you make outlandish statements, then you've got to be prepared for people to question you. I for the record don't believe that the military is everything that is good about this country. It's a bit disturbing, really.

You have officially stated your position on the military. Now it's time to moveon.org! Don't forget this is still a sports memorabilia forum...
