Hobby terms you don't like

[Slette]

Any form of the phrase "eBay 1/1"

 

[chompsmcgee]

"paypal gift" - when sellers expect this like it's the standard method of payment

Admittedly, I used to be like this when I first joined the boards cuz it seemed to be the fad. Then I got a clue.

 

[phillyfan0417]

"Best Price" as in "give me your best price"

What "cash value" are you putting on it. (I'm not, it fluctuates, make a freaking offer already, I'm not in this to tip my hand and we aren't friends. My actual goal here is to make as much as I can)

yeah, who would expect the seller to know how much they want for a card.

crazy talk i tell ya.

I'm likewise afflicted...

 

[JoshHamilton]

feebay

A close second is Fleabay.

 

[DetectiveChrome]

A close second is Fleabay.

I hate Fleabay and Feebay but my #1 is Mojo (or variations like super mojo, super sick mojo)

Also, Book value, beckett, "what's you lowest price?" (when it clearly states obo/make offer).

My favourite term thus far is 'junk wax' - like 90 Donruss baseball or 1990-92 Proset hockey!

 

[aupt]

"the Bay"

 

[ffgameman]

EASILY. Book value is the most irrelevant term in the hobby.

Not necessarily when it comes to the trading side of the hobby with lower-end cards.

 

[nosterbor]

RC

How many years does Jeter have a rookie card? 92-93-94-95-96!

Supercollector. Unless you can shoot webs out of your wrists, lift a car by yourself, or have a ***** the size of a coke bottle, there is nothing super about you. You just collect a certain team/player/theme/etc. I especially hate the term when people try to give or take away merit from your collection by saying you meet their opinion of a supercollector *cough* SCF *cough*.

But what if I shoot webs out of my Coke-bottle sized ***** at cars? Does that make me super ooper duper?

Any word with "gasm" added to the end if it.
