no - no this is not about scamming = this is one huge big pile of misunderstanding that so proves my messaging is so way worse than in person communicating because we cannot get any inflection or body language or any of at least the 75% of non-verbal communication that is helpful in sorting things outbelieve me, this is why I didn't become a diplomat = my blunt style does not translate well I agreePost Merge: January 02, 2014, 01:38:01 AM"I am not a member of the slaughterhouse, or anything like it"fine, bad reference to early Arena days of which I only know by being unable to open that link...never said omitting half the story is you lying - again, this is all about proving perspective is not reality. Each has a viewpoint of what is going on, and it doesn't always match and we are all now trying to sort it out. Now about your retelling how you remember all that time ago what happened all I am gonna say to that is that is not how I saw it, each entitled to their opinion and you did your damage as you felt entitled to with my one and only EVER negative rating - so I would think you would be sated at this time, but perhaps not... whatever makes you happy in the end - hope you are happyso thank you, Stormy, for clarifying if it was instead a Spoosh sale = than I apologize for my not remembering and crediting the seller properly.Here's my philosophyTwo monks walking along a path, one old, one young. It is morning. They come to a small river/stream. Monks are forbidden to touch women. There is a woman standing at the river bank. The older monk picks up the woman, carries her across the stream and puts her down. The two monks then continue on in silence. At days end, the younger monk states "Why did you carry that woman?" The older monk replies - " I put her down at the river bank, you are still carrying her."So I find out now, AJG has been carrying this mess in her head for all these months and so am trying to sort out what she wants me to do, with what I want to do so we can all move forwardPost Merge: January 02, 2014, 01:56:13 AMAnd YES YOU DID ASK ME FOR THE FULL AMOUNT BACK, and THAT is EXACTLY what you RECEIVED. after we couldn't come to a partial refund agreement - I agreed to send you the pony back.
Yes, I did inspect the pony to make sure it was the right one when I got her, because even before you received your money back, I did a quick search and saw you were buying the same pony 2-3 times over on eBay - the ones you were buying were in disgusting condition. So, yes, I checked to be certain.[/color]OK - now I am calling this out as a fabrication. I only re-bought an alt pose blossom once - after I returned yours. True my replacement for $20 is not pristine = she has discoloration in spots, unlike yours. So like I referenced earlier, I have learned that a purple Mexican in that good shape is not an easy find. We will continue to agree to disagree if that makes her an $80 item and if that was indeed a discount as there are opinions about ebay pricing not always being the best indicator of a true price. whateverApplejackgirl, if I were you, I would just count your blessings, accept your losses, and move on. Don't return a pony or feel you have to do anything you don't want to. MCM returned Blossom because she felt she overpaid 8 MONTHS after buying (since other ponies of the same type surfaced - gee, I wish I could go back to the 1990s and buy Microsoft stock like that, right? Or maybe get back all the money I spent on non-winning lottery tickets?), not because I whined about having my Blossom back.See this was the reason I didn't leave negative feedback - I was thankful that Stormy returned the pony and am glad to hear she found her a good home as that admittedly had been her lament that now I had ruined her chances of reselling it.
At any rate, whatever happens happens - I guess we'll have to wait to read AJGs comments here
OK now I am lost - what issues am I dancing around?Post Merge: January 02, 2014, 02:24:34 AMYou declined the partial refund I offered you 8 months before, and THEN tried to use that against me and bully me into selling you a $50 pony for around $5. When you could not have your way, THAT was when you decided to force a refund out of me. I could have said no and told you to leave, but I would rather have kept my precious Blossom than have her feel unwantedoh geesh, is this how you remember it?? I don't even remember declining a refund and the item later was an edgar I was asking you to sell to me for $25 so I have no clue where you remember it was $5see pony peeps how all this misunderstanding can occur? Geesh, your blossom was never unwanted I was just a scared noobie who felt I had been snookered because of my ignorance but was at least thankful you honored a return and then really prayed you wouldn't be hurt if you later resold her which is why there was only positive / neutral stuff on the boards here to my recalling it... but at any rate, I think we can all say we are older/wiser now
heya :-) well I know I kinda left the whole mexican blossom rehair issue for a bit... and again don't think you are anything but an honest seller and I do like her nonetheless but still hoping for a small deduction off that transaction since it was pretty much confirmed she's a likely rehair = used vintage tail hair probably, but still... so ginaiam over at TP (and maybe here?) likes edgar and I would l-o-v-e to send a little ROAPK her way and so hoping = would you consider my offer to pay for your ship costs if you would pull your edgar from ebay and mail it to Gina? I'd be happy with that as my discount on the mexican blossom and it'd make my day as much as I am hoping to surprise Gina since she gave me a pick-me-up phonecall not too long ago So let me know if that is acceptable and I can send you over her mail addy and gift to paypal for $5 - hoping that would cover fees etc. thanks and I know it's not a regular sale so thanks for considering :-) Monica
oh that is from me saying the edgar was $25 and here is $5 to cover shipping since I was still thinking we were negotiating a partial refund from the blossom I was willing to find a pony item to offset the discount. Fine you didn't want to sell that item for that amount and consider that as a solution. Again, boy do I see how all this got twisted into a big ball of unnecessary hurt ... wow on seeing how different our understanding was/isI never said you snookered me - I felt - please understand it was just how I felt / not you caused anything.Honestly, for all interested a wonderful philosophy to try is from Byron Katie = "Is that thought true?""Can I know for certain (100%) that thought is true?" (hint - answer is no)"Where would I be without that thought?"This situation so exemplifies how our thoughts mucked things up
Hello! That is so sweet of you to want to buy a gift for your friend! I am happy to work with you. I re-read the thread about the rehair concern, and was thinking that maybe we could work something out with a discount for him? The general consensus on a discount (if Blossom had truly been a rehair) was about $15-20. So, how about I take $20 off of Edgar for you? Please let me know what you think. Thanks so much!Sincerely,Christina
heya Christina -yep, thanks for checking up on archives, as it seems the consensus was it was a rehair which at least it was a good job of...I was thinking edgar was more a $20ish kinda pony friend so I was thinking it was a wash in terms of a $20 discount and offering to pay for your shipping and all ...but that's Ok = don't want to break your bankSo I don't mind to keep it simple and give you the chance to make a profit on him as yours is in better than average condition = so I'm be fine with just a $20 credit and we'll call it even/done on the blossom deal and I'll takes my chances on just buying him for that amount elsewhere...So let me know if just a $20 refund on paypal is fine by you thanks so muchMonica
Seems to me like you keep avoiding dealing with the issue at hand. AJG has come on here and given her experience of the transaction and is giving you the option to tell your side of things and clear the air but you just seem to point the finger at everyone else instead of taking responsibility for your actions within the trade. You keep saying 'maybe I should post the pm's' to show how things happened but so far still nothing. The pm's would help to clear alot of this up. And to be honest some of the comments do come across a bit bullyish.......
OK still trying to process as I am getting bullied by two pro sellers here -
I am on the fence about the accessories, not a huge deal for meand sorry to surprise you, but yah, I can be into nirvana and not all anal perceptive... sorry I am a big picture not a little detail person. So yes, I honestly got the hats wrong as until I really look at something it all looks the same. Seriously I am not a picky collector.
You can imply what you want, but folks who know me, know that I am not one to have thought this whole thing out like some chess game to screw you since you paid as a gift option... so wow, hadn't even occurred to me you were gonna go the level of a paypal claim over this misunderstanding? Take the pony and then my money when you aren't happy? And so you are pissed that option is off the table?
So I guess now I will use your similar tact how I "never asked" explicitly for you to take the listing down so you didn't. Well no, you never asked me specifically - you merely said you didn't need a dragon - in regards to exactly what accessories. So you got accessories and no dragon.So to AJG and Stormy I am always to meet my implied "promise" but I am never to have similar assumptions of them if I am not explicit = so how is that fair? And it is fine for AJG to twist facts and make up a story but I cannot have a different viewpoint that may be equally valid... ok, this is not how to solve a problem. I am usually a meet in the middle kind of person. I am not all about the wrestle and take down to the mat = is that how you see this? Can we agree that this situation is all kinda shades of gray but we are both good people? Or are you sticking to the AJG - a well seasoned seller and actually a much more adept nirvana collector in this community - is a pure victim all the way around? really...
I will agree I cannot expect you to read my mind, I apologize for my feeling a bit hurt and blurting that out in regards to finishing our ebay transaction. But honestly, the simple response AJG would have been to post back to me directly like what you did above that you didn't pull the listing since I didn't ask and I would've said, "yep you're right, I'm sorry I snapped - it's only $5 = good for you." And hopefully you would've realized that yah, why get so wrapped up in something that is past?
Oh and for the psychological attack of implied gossip elsewhere and "alerting the mods" - really? Folks who deal with me in person and here know that my biggest fault is at first jumping to conclusions but with a bit of discussing things I am an overall easy-going person and like to problem solve so we are all happy in the end, like I said = we deal with toys so my general view is if it ain't fun, I wouldn't be here.
The problem with these posts/this forum is that the conversation cannot occur because so much is said and not replied to, other folks join in, sidetracks occur and in the end - now I see what mikeysgirl was saying = it seems we are all just dancing.
To me, you are not a big accessories person. You got a $425 item I paid $435 for same. You then made 3 sales and netted more than ebay would've given you since I paid as a gift option.
Admittedly I got a bit scared when you hadn't closed the other two purchases and I had already sent over gift money so I had a flash worry of this might get ugly if you wanted to screw me. So that was my frame of mind when I joked/poked "no good deed" - guess this is my karma payback? But I am still not seeing how you are so hurt other than feelings at the end of 2013. And I cannot solve anything going on in your head... guess if you wanted folks to see laundry out to dry - you accomplished that ;-) anything else? (please know I am not trying to be mean, I swear this is where I just know words are limited and not able to really communicate well)
