Man, any idiot can realize there's honest people just trying to make a few bucks or trying to get their name out by selling their wares on ebay, and then there's the rest of the scumbags. you and I both know the difference, and you're really just wasting everyone's time here by arguing my 'lack of differentiation'.

I bought a Fidanza off ebay once

but it was from a board member :mamoru:

I already had one but figured if I installed two I would see twice the difference

One time I ordered a FSTB off ebay for a friend from one of those retarded stores. I can't comment on the quality because it never came. I did get a refund.....2 months later


The only thing that irks me with BlehmCo is I sent money in a couple of times and would only get back a bunch of metal/news paper/bubble wrap and cardboard back. It's not very much fun but doggah likes it sooo

And you and I both know that the world is full of idiots who CAN'T tell the difference. And by attacking some smalltime guy on ebay, you're inadvertantly attacking yourself and those of us like you.

It's not a problem for me. I have enough business that I can't even keep up with sales right now, and I usually don't even bother replying to the people that I can tell are idiots.

I think he meant people that rebadge their copied and unauthorized products as something else. Unless you are implying that's what Matt is doing.

I did. You equated Matt's statement as ebay = crap. Matt's point was the people that sell crap just happen to use ebay as a selling tool.

Not sure how copied products selling on ebay by suspect sellers = "dude out of a garage" aka Matt's business. Especially when you know well what he does/what he sells.

I think you know exactly what he meant but you just choose to take Matt's comment way out of context for the purpose of debate. You accuse him of being too general. He should have countered with "dude in garage" as being too general. But he took it personal. But then again, you meant it that way.

I rarely get personal on here, and that wasn't one of those times. I meant to get his attention and **** him off I had to and that is what happened.

So what's the point in you trying to **** me off? Just cause you like being a d!ck, or did you have something else in mind?

Because I can.

Seems as if you're still upset about this whoel thing which I find funny. You aren't going to agree my point of view and I am not going to agree with yours. So there is nothing further here to discuss.

the point of the matter is that you like arguing just to argue.
You take one small generalization or statement and turn it into some huge issue over something as simple as their wording, and then hang it over someone's head just to start an argument... when neither party really gives a damn about the overall issue at hand. you're wasting everyone's time and really makes you look like a ******* in the long run.

That is your opinion and you're entitled to it.
