The difference here is that these are fans helping fans. I wouldn't buy from anyone who was trying to make a buck here. Its called the "marketplace", but I interpreted it as being a place to trade and/or exchange figs. I could be wrong.
This is a public forum, I have no right to stop any of this from happening. Its actually pretty healthy to get these things out. Eventually, the buzz will slow down, and those who want to do business with retailers on this board can do so. But make no mistake, this was a marketing campaign, of a sort, no buts about it.

Exactly heyyou, I'm glad this happened because I want the Xevoz union to be clear of any potential two faced characters. I can't stop this crap from happening here on these boards but I sure can voice a loud dissenting voice and point out the holes in these shady business practices that are all predicated on shills spreading panic and fear that thousands of toys will never see the light of day.

The only thing I'll say is I'm happy the fans get a shot at them before they eBay does.
As for the prices, the seller, the buisness tactics, no comments.

Remember Secter is the guy who blames only the buyers on ebay for spawning scalper trash Not to make any of this escalate any farther, but I think I'm the one who first said it was the buyers fault for the eBay prices getting so jacked up, way back in the last argument about this. I don't know if it has any relevance, I'm just trying to take some of the heat off poor Secter.

I have no problem with secter, ming or anyone. I just want to come here and have fun talking to people who share my hobby. Differences of opinion are bound to happen, what we can do about it is allow them to be voiced and then move on. I choose not to buy from aggressive sellers. Aggressive sellers are often very successful and more power to them. I just don't enjoy dealing with them
Let's not forget, it is our interest in these figs that drives us to make these arguments. The arguments themselves are not wrong, and the passion of the statements should not be misconstrued as animosity, at least for my part.

Squishee, I never said you sold Xevoz on eBay, I said you sold on eBay and that's it, and I also said you had quite a few negative feedback imo for only 50something transactions. Those are not lies, they are facts and opinions. No need to get ticked at me and start swearing becuase I have made you look bad. I didn't say one thing bad about you, but you just had to attack me for helping him out. Seriously, give it a rest bud. I posted the info, there is nothing more to it. You bashed me for it which was uncalled for, and now all you can do is cuss and complain in yet another arguement started by you.
I really could care less about your beef with him. If you noticed, I called him boss in quotations, it was a joke. What, do you think I am being paid to promote him? Not at all. I am just giving my personal opinion on the matter. I would rather buy it now then wait and possibly never have the chance to buy em again. That is me though. I said I would never pay double retail and I am not paying double what he got em for retail.
Gurzil, or anyone else, how did I mislead you in the thread? I never said one thing untrue, I never said the set was mine, I even said I don't have it. I linked the pic and said to check back this week for more info, THAT IS ALL I SAID. If you want to blame me becuase you had some high hopes and the info wasn't what you expected go ahead. I did nothing wrong and I hope any sensable person will be able to see that. How would I be kicked out of the Xevoz alliance? Please stop with the profanity and lying Squishee, I didn't find these things at a dollar store and did nothing that broke the agreement there.
Yes, I helped Dave out by starting the thread, big deal? It was one thread he asked me to post. Honestly, I thought it was good news. Pay more for the set and have a chance to get it, or never see it at all becuase it was released in a forerign market or never released at all. I choose number 1, sorry.
As I already explained, I never broke any rules in regards to the Xevoz alliance. No one put you in charge and it is not your place to decide anything regarding it. Stop acting like an immature child, please, for once in your life and actually take FACTS into consideration. [/b]

Heyyou, I agree with what you said about here being a place to have fun. Fortunately, this whole ordeal will just go away. And other threads are still there for people to talk and share ideas. Even if some of us question others here at the moment, I truly hope it won't affect the rest of the threads and future ones. This Firedrake vs Runeslayer thing will remain here in this part of the board hopefully.

Secter - I did not make you look bad you did it to yourself by being a schill and trying to generate sales with panic selling methods.
I don't call anyone boss who isn't paying or giving me something to have dominion over my services; but that's just me.

Squishee, you have to be pretty stupid to think he is paying me. Am I on his pay roll now for one thread? I wish it were true, but it isn't. Stop being so childish, it was a joke calling him boss, hence the quotations.
And yes, you did start it. You started bashing my name, calling me a schill and saying I sold out. That to me, is an attack. If not then call me crazy. Seriously, your sh!t has to stop man, its getting old. I respect your opinion, even if I don't agree with it. Do the same and stop try to bash me becuase you don't like me posting one thread of nothing but facts.
As I already said, I only did it cuase I personally thought it was good news. I would rather have the option to buy the set, even at triple what 2-packs are here normally, then no option to buy it at all. If you or anyone else would rather wait or doesn't wanna pay.. GO AHEAD! I don't care, I make no profit, and I really could care less what you do with your money. [/b]

I don't trust him for good reason and I don't trust you any longer for your invovement with him given his checkered reputation. If you don't like to lie in the bed you made you should have thought it though a little better, first. Birds of a feather....

Golden Gonzo does have a point. Since he is the owner of this site and someone else is using it to generate sales, Golden Gonzo is basically acting as a referral. To be fair since he does not get compensated for maintaining this forum he should get fair compensation on any sales generated from this site.
Hey just watching out for you GG. If you get one GG post pics so the rest of us can drool over them.
