This forum is sooo nice, sometimes too nice I think! last year I decieded to sell my Pokemon collection (Cause I have not been into Pokemon since 01!) so I asked if anyone knew anything here about where to get information on pokemon things (Some of the items I had never were on ebay so I could not even phantom what their worth was!!!) Basically I needed the help of current collectors. I was advised to go to this one pokemon site and ask there. I did, I got balled out for trying to take advantage of collectors and "how dare I come here an try to just sell my stuff!" First I was only trying to get PC's, and if someone liked something they saw in the pictures they could ask me about it! I thought my questions would be answered in the manner that people answer PC questions! I apologized and started commenting of other parts of the forum to become more of a member....which was hard cause from 2001 to 2010 there are just WAAAAY too many pokemon to keep up with (Hense why I quit collecting!!! Could not keep up with all the new info!!) All to no avail cause I became like condemed!!!
Anyways my problem is I personally, do not like people who come here, are NOT collectors, Never have been, and get lucky enough to come across some ponies and ask for help, PC, advice, whatnot...then when they get the help they need, put the items on ebay or where ever...Not even looking at the condition, but want top price, and list a link here. OR they put posts here of items for sale, for a large price and think just cause we are collectors, we're gonna be silly enough to dish that money out to someone we don't even know? I realize everyone has to start somewhere, but you can tell those kinds of people are NOT going to become avid collectors, and are using our forum to get rich off of pony's! OR the people who say "Hi, I want to buy ______ for my kid, they just love ponies, but don't have alot of money!" and ask for things in that are not common or rather pricey...over, and over, and over....just say your a collector already, or your building your kid a collection...but don't play us like, hey if I mention my kid I can get a better deal!!! (Cause no one wants to disappoint kids, right?) and the fact that you say you don't have alot of money, why are you buying your kids toys then? I mean collector toys, that come with a price...you either have a grand collection or your gonna have one spoiled kid!!!
Sorry for the rant, it just seems like there are lots of new people on here doing this nowadays! Its insulting, I love this place...and I can understand why I got chewed out on the pokemon forum now! Just get to know the people of the forum first before throwing your stuff out there to sell, and if you don't clean a pony up before sale, don't expect to get the awesome price of a pony someone spent time to make look good! Am I the only one who feels like this?
