I think it's a pretty cool lot, actually, and I don't think it's priced unreasonably given what it is. You're mostly paying for a 2nd Chainmail that looks quite exceptional
dragonsbreath wrote in Interesting Items Currently on eBay:Who really cares if it's "cobbled" together?? How else would you put together a wide ranging auction like this ??? I don't understand why you have to be so sarcastic with these posts, it's a bit ridiculous. I'm a long time user and a member of this site including donating my money to help keep it going. I don't try and hide in the shadows and have bought and sold to many members on this forum and on eBay. I have perfect feedback on eBay and Amazon and have been selling online for almost 20 years. I think you should keep your snide comments that really have no place to yourself. Anyone who fancies himself as a super investigator of ebay can see who I am and that I am a member here as well. I guess you have a problem with me trying to put up an auction and provide as much insight to the items as I can so people can make intelligent decisions? If you want to know where I got the chainmail from, just ask. There is a fine line between offering an opinion and acting like some snob on a throne, and I think I will call you King.I am trying to sell off a large portion of my collection I have accumulated over the years to pay for my kids school, so yea that's the nefarious reason that I am selling these extra special items. I thought that putting these together would make for an interesting lot. At the least I thought people would enjoy the research, I know I did.
stratochamp wrote in Interesting Items Currently on eBay:And this is how we arrive at greater truths. It would never have occurred to me that anyone would care where a seller's items for sale had come from (unless one of them had some special provenance of course). I did not presume that the seller of the Chainmail had been the "original" owner. I don't know how many people have owned it. The same goes for the issue of Panzerfaust. So I did not understand the point that you were trying to make David, and if one did not understand your point, your post could be read as snarky (but almost certainly not nefarious).I assume that most sellers (I don't believe that i have ever bought anything from Dragonsbreath, so I am making no specific comment about him here) overrate their items on ebay. Every other item is Near Mint, or something is great for it's age, or it's excellent but for the Frito stains on page two. When we (acaeumites collectively) find a seller who is generally more accurate with their descriptions, we tend to overpay those sellers because we know (much more accurately) what we will be getting. But I don't care how many prior owners there have been, only what condition it is in, right now.
