A seller who can't even accept money is the strangest thing I've heard of. Maybe he has a 3rd strike pending or something along those lines.

Yeah. MO's. Those were the days. On rare occasion I've even mailed cash. Amazingly I never got burned.


I’ve only been burned one time on eBay and that was back when I was in high school in 2000 or 2001. My very first purchase. Some Air Jordan 11’s, the seller took my money, closed his eBay account, and I never got my shoes or money back.

Only one time? That's pretty good. I think I've been taken less than 5 times online, including well over 1000 ebay purchases. Definitely been burned more times in person, like getting short changed at the liquor store or whatever.

I think I was screwed on 1 Ebay purchase where a Topps Sterling box might have been pre opened. Seller might have shilled it to boot, can't prove it. but odds are one or the other happened. :rolleyes:

BoSox score 19 in 1st game of a doubleheader, not sure what the combined runs record is but they have a shot at it vs the crappy O's.

I remember being in high school when I first had an eBay account going to the post office or the grocery store for.a money order once or twice a week, it's funny how something that was a giant pain in the ass becomes a fond memories of.

So the [MENTION=3754]MansGame[/MENTION] thread about an old redemption reminded me of an old coupon I tried to cash in (sort of) funny story.

I bought an old SI magazine for some reason and there was a Dairy Queen coupon in it (I can't recall if it was being used as a bookmark or a tearout of some kind) but it was almost 20 years old. My goal wasn't even to cash it in but just have some fun the next time I eat there.. might have had more than I bargained for. I go to a DQ and when I pull into the window I mention that I would like to add on this "recent and relevant" coupon and wink wink. The lady at the window, who was missing at least 1 tooth and over 240lbs looks at it and looks at me. . . . . . . .

money orders for auctions was a huge pain. don't recall getting burnt but did buy a few forged autos in the early days. Ebay with no pics and another auction site that was semi popular then. wastd nearly $400 back in the day on several items cause of the non pics. I hope the scumbag that sold forged griffey bats got his due at some point.
