[Aroid-l] Mini rant right back at ya.

From: Rosalind Gold <rozgold at pacbell.net> on 2004.11.08 at 22:42:14(12366) As much as I would hate to see you subjected to constant abuse, I just want to encourage you to keep writing sellers who are deliberately misrepresenting their wares on E-Bay. Hopefully, if enough people call them on it, they'll think twice before trying it again in the future. As you mentioned, lots of novices try to expand their collections using E-Bay - so you're doing a real public service when you go after the folks who are blatantly ripping buyers off. -Roz, in Culver City Bamboo Chik wrote: +More Yes, and have gotten cussed out more than I can count! Here is an example: "Hi, I am glad to see you selling (such and such) on ebay and hope you do well, but (such and such) is not correctly named and the true botanical name is: (such and such) Just thought you would like to know so that you can keep up your good feedback." Here is what I usually get back: " Mind your own (&(*&^(&%&^% business!" ....b.f.n...deb/S.AL ***Make your words soft and sweet; you just may have to eat them someday. ----- Original Message ----- To: Discussion of aroids;Discussion of aroids Sent: 11/7/2004 10:01:51 AM Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Mini rant right back at ya. A question. do any of you ever write a gentle note to a seller who is offering perhaps a wrongly named plant which is not rare, at a big opening price, and tell them the TRUTH? i know I DO!hermine _______________________________________________Aroid-l mailing listAroid-l@gizmoworks.comhttp://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l_______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
