Not to be rude, but you really shouldn't sit computer parts on the carpet. The static electricity can kill them. One of my friends ruined a network card that way.

good grief, what else do you have? a low-profile TV tuner? a nice big cool-running hard drive? a blue-ray DVD drive? I just need to buy all of it from you for my HTPC. Really, I was holding out for a card that will do more than 720p, unless I'm wrong. And I was hoping for a fanless, I wouldn't want to invest in a passive cooler even if I got this for half what you paid. It doesn't appear that the fan has a variable speed - and I don't want to software mod it...

i hope anyone who reads this thread can see what it's like to deal with friggin' a$$holes like you.
....
Actually, I have had dealings with H.O.S., and he went above & beyond what was required to get the deal done. I'm sure H.O.S. started with you with the best intentions. It just unfortunatly went sour.
I wouldn't get too twisted about it. Maybe just unitentioned miscomunication.
I will tell you from my dealings with him, he is a good guy.

Looks like some snot-nose kids messed up my simple attempt to sell a video card.
Maybe you should just tell everyone what you want for something when you post it instead of saying "make me a reasonable offer" or "gauging interest" then getting all bent out of shape when the offer seems too low to you, or telling some kind of story to try and validate the price.
Kind of like this thread, https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum4/HTML/049640.html If you had told me no thanks, but 105 plus shipping is my bottom price, I would of bought them. Instead you go into this...."nope - these are custom made with limited availablilty. I am hesitating selling because, if i need them later, i might not be able to get them again. I just don't see me using them too soon and i do need some other things .... I was hoping that maybe a lot of people would be interested ...." so I just made them myself, no big deal. My supply for myself is unlimited now.....
What makes your card worth more then one could buy it for elsewhere anyway?

I left after i sent you that PM. You got a negative from someone else, but you've got mine now you f_ckin piece of sh_t. You wanna insullt me by asking me to price match - then i don't respond as you expect and you wanna start something. You don't have to post a copy of my PM because i've told you right now and i'll say it again - GO SCREW YOURSELF. Happy (!?) i hope anyone who reads this thread can see what it's like to deal with friggin' a$$holes like you.
There was no need to start something here ....
Looks like some snot-nose kids messed up my simple attempt to sell a video card. Well, i can sell it somewhere else and
THAT SALE is OVER SOON so I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE IT AWAY. i'm done with this crap ....
i had no intentions of sideswiping your sale thread till you deiced to insult me for NO REASON. i found the SAME card, new, cheaper, with a warenty, and asked if you wanted to match that price.... instead of saying "id rather not" or "no thankyou" you decide to tell me "go screw yourself", not sure what i did so wrong there. posting it here was wrong, maybe, but i was giving everyone the heads up of how you reacted.

You got a + from me to offset his, and it looks like you got a couple more since yesterday, haha. I for one cant stand when someone puts "make an offer" and then gets bent out of shape when they dont like what you offer. If they have an idea what they want, then put it or atleast a "nothing lower than..."

OK. It has now occurred to me that the postings in this thread are not telling the whole story, and i guess i can see how you would think this. HOS conveniently posted only part of the PMs that were sent. i DID NOT ask for offers then reply like that.
HOS - Post the ENTIRE PM chain - I DARE YOU.
i bought the video card for $40. It was a good deal at this price. Later, when i couldn't return it, I posted it here for sale for a REASONABLE OFFER. Fine - that is commonly used in many ads and was willing to take a small loss if i had to. (By the way, I searched and found about 400 posts that used the "guaging interest' or "gauging interest" too).
Shortly after i made the post, HOS sent me a PM offerring me $30. I countered with $35. He asked if that included shipping and said that either way, it was a good deal. IT WAS - even BETTER than i got. WE HAD A DEAL. Based on the NORMAL selling price, it was fair to us Both. I replied that i would get the cost for shipping and get back to him. Shortly after, i got another PM asking if i had obtained the shipping cost. I replied that i had not, but if he wanted to add $5 i would cover shipping costs over that. From Calif, it WILL cost $5 to $8 to send (US Mail) even a small package depending on where the destination is. Since it looked like he was in a hurry, i was even gonna sweeten the deal more and pick up part of the shipping !
NOW i get his PM saying he doesn't want the card unless i price match $25 per egghead. WTF ? Do the MATH. I'm gonna buy a $40 item then sell it AS NEW for $20 or less because of some Sale (?!) NO ONE HERE or anywhere else WOULD DO THAT and THAT pi$$ed me off. It would have angered ANYONE. Hello ? - someone will buy mine AT A FAIR PRICE after the sale is over and the price goes BACK UP ! Why expect me to take a bath For You ?
I replied with my now famous "screw yourself" and walked away. Fine. No big deal. This card WILL SELL or maybe i'll even keep it - it's now tested and i know it works fine. Most people i know would have just said "sorry but i found the card on sale" and we both would have walked away. IN ANY CASE, this SHOULD have been the end.
Later I'm browsing Totally OT and see that USFIero has posted in the thread. I just sold him something a few weeks ago and figured that he might want something else i have but don't need. (i invite anyone to ask him how our transaction went.) NOW i see the multiple posts HOS made, JUST ASKING FOR TROUBLE and Purposely RUINING my THREAD..
I did not give him any rating up to then - i did not not even give him a second thought. BUT he comes back, accusing me of the negative, posting my PM ( which told only his part of the story) and RUINED MY THREAD by posting the link to the Egghead sale. THAT WAS LOW.
Maybe some of you people don't know me, but if you do, i'm disappointed if you think i would ask for an offer than react like i did without a good reason.
This was NOT a mis-communication. This was NOT a "deal gone bad". This was someone that went WAY beyond what was called for just because he wanted to be mean and inflict damage.
Feel like maybe you all understand a little better now ?! you should.

... and asked if you wanted to match that price....
NO. You agreed to a price, then backed out unless i took a HUGE loss. You can try to lie about this when you posted the PM above ?! Here - I"LL put it in red for you.

There is NO MAYBE. RUINING someone else's work (For Sale thread) IS WRONG. Screwing me when i was already trying to sell to you at a loss WAS WRONG. Do you have to be told - NewEgg is NOT losing money on that sale. But i was already losing money at the deal you agreed to and you wanted to take me for more ?! WTF is wrong with you.

Baloney. you were just getting even because you felt you could hurt me and there was nothing i could do - just like some punk. You were performing a kind of public service to PFF ? yeah .... right.
If you're so friggin honest and noble, you would have expected to have a deal that was FAIR TO US BOTH. It is UNFAIR and STUPID to expect me to sell you something NEW that i paid $40 for $20 or less ! ESPECIALLY because of some limited-time sale ! WTF !?
What noble purpose did POSTING THE LINK TO THE SALE perform ?! You wanted EVERYTHING you could get, and decided to inflict any damage you could when you didn't get what you wanted. PERIOD.
If you're so friggin honest and noble, YOU would have walked away and bought the Sale card instead of ruining my honest effort to give you (or someone else on PFF) an item for LESS THAN I PAID and even trying to help you on shipping.
This is my last dealing/communication wth you and (hopefully) anybody and Everybody Like you ....

You whine and are a jerk on EVERY computer part sale that you put on this forum.
Go peddle your wares over at http://forums.anandtech.com They will eat you alive over there in PMs about trying to sell USED hardware at near new prices. (Maybe that's why you're on Pennocks trying to sell your used computer parts.)
When was the last time you ACTUALLY sold a computer part on Pennocks?
Here's a bit of advice from someone who has bought and sold 100s of used pieces of hardware over the past 13 years. It's like a new car. It depreciates immensely right after the static bag is opened. Secondly, never try to sell a piece of used hardware at a higher price than what someone can get it for new after shipping AND a rebate. Just pull it off the "market" until that rebate is over. Thirdly, be an ass to someone in a political discussion. If you're a repeated ass in selling your stuff, no one is going to want to buy anything from you.
I suppose you could get all huffy over my post and give me a negative, but I think you probably already have. Either way, I don't get a rat's ass or two squirrel's nuts.
(BTW, hookedonspeed wasn't the only one that pm'd you the newegg link and based or withdrew an offer off of that, was he? )

look, pauljk.. its simple, i found a better deal, asked if you still wanted to make the sale knowing the card could be gotten new for less, and instead of saying no, you get your panties into a bunch and go insulting me. i offered you the price of the new card for your used card after i found that, fair offer IMO... i dont know what you do for a job, but i hope you dont have to deal with customers....

Most of your post isn't worth responding to, but to answer the above question: YES, he was the only one.
AND i guess he's still afraid to post the PMs in their entirety.
I posted a video card that was used for a few hours for less than i paid, offer to help with shipping, THEN and have my thread ruined by some friggin kids and get negative ratings while the kids get + ?
What the hel! is wrong with you people ....

I have one user name. Are you now going to deny that "aceman" sent you that pm at that time?
Somebody buy his used piece of hardware so that PaulJK can buy a clue. Folks overpay for this card because he seems to need to buy more clues that what this used video card should bring him

A) I can't show my user name when copying from my Sent Box.
B) I never said you were a "Bad Guy" I called you whiny and a jerk. Which is exactly what you are doing and being right now.
Perhaps I was hoping that you would come to your senses after I offered you more than the final cost of the card after shipping and rebate. But, I was wrong about you....once again.
If you want to continue to whine, please continue. After all, it is your thread.

found that this morning, unless you want to match the rebate price w/ shipping.
----- Original Message ----- If you wanna just add $5 and send me $40, i'll cover anything over that.
----- Original Message ----- did ya get a chance to get the shipping
----- Original Message ----- $35 + shipping is fine. Paypal =email@address.com but give me your address first so i can get a shipping quote. i have not looked into the HDMI sound thing. thank you.
----- Original Message ----- shiped or +?
either way still a good deal. whats your paypal?
do you know if that card has onboard sound support for the hdmi? or does it have a sdpif header?
----- Original Message ----- I bought this one at a local store when it was on sale for $40. I did not install it until i had time to upgrade my system to Win7, which then put it past the return period . The same store had a 2-day Only sale yesterday and i went for blank DVDs and found a big sale on a different video card so i bought it. i really hate to take too big a hit on a card i only used for a few hours. How about $35 ?
----- Original Message ----- $30? i was looking to get a 210, just wondering, why did you decide not to keep?

. I hope you never try to sell something and have to deal with this crap ...
