You know what I give up. these guys win. All i wanted was some joe stuff from competent people that won't shaft me and actually send me items and not screw up. Yes I blew up on that site after being screwed over multiple times on ebay and then there when I was always polite and payed in a timely fashion.
Anyways these people like grunt mvp and such don't want me collecting so i give up. I hope there happy.
I know grunt mvp wants me off here since he is exagerating the pm that where suppose to be 3 pages and such which is bs and people are just going to keep trolling me.
Who knew trying to collect joes would be such a hardship.
Why all the hate?
You came here beating your chest saying how things will be for you to collect, and it's not sitting well with some people.
Grunt is a stand up dude. I've always enjoyed talking with, trading, and selling items to the man. HE however is more well known around here and just wanted to give his fellow Canucks the heads up on what happened with you at yojoe.com - nothing wrong with that - it's how us Canuckleheads are, really.
I sent you a PM informing you of my site, you basically told me my prices are too high. Fair enough - you're entitled to your opinion, even if I have a ton of SOLD OUT icons plastered on my site right now.....
You explained why they were too high for you - you're cheap. I get that. There is NOTHING wrong with you not wanting to spend a bunch of money on items. NOTHING. I once was the same way, and still am to a point when it pertains to NEWER items. Not vintage items.
You didn't ask me the conditions of the items I have that you need, or why I'm asking a higher price for something. Your reply was just dismissive - and it came across that you would never purchase anything from me - BECAUSE I'm an online store and not a collector. That's too bad - because I take care of my customers very well - always have - for 19 years now, actually. There's a reason my store was nominated the best in my city two years in a row, and it wasn't my winning smile.
Anyway, I'm off topic here. You need to keep in mind a couple of facts about toy collecting in general. I know you've been collecting for 5 years - but please take some advice from someone that's been a collector for over 20 years now. It's not a cheap hobby. There will be great deals to be had, amazing lots and super prices - but in the same breath some of the stuff you want WILL be higher priced and rightly so. You're collecting toys that kids basically beat the crap out of, lost items to, and didn't care about. Add onto that, they're over 25 years old.
What is making this hard for you is you coming to this site with the same attitude you at grew to have at yojoe.com.
Leave here if you want, drop out of the hobby if you wish - but if you're passionate about G.I. Joe like the rest of us, then stick with it and ignore guys like Grunt on the boards. Don't look at his want/haves list and try buying CANADIAN. We have me (BHT) and HJL on here that sell vintage - we're both great at it, both well known, and both of us are willing to help you with your collecting - plus - WE ARE BOTH LOCATED IN CANADA - it's exactly what you wanted all along.
Just don't insult us with our asking prices for many items telling us you can get them cheaper. If you can get it cheaper - it wouldn't be on your list still. You told me you're willing to wait to get the items you need - why such the hurry then? Sit back, enjoy your hobby man. And seriously - try to make it to the Canadian G.I. Joe Convention in June.... FREE TOYS, cheap toys, etc etc etc.
I'd just hate for you to be so dismissive of this site and the hobby of G.I. Joe because of one, or two people. Stick it out.
