    A bunch of people high fiving each other trying to screw up my sale before they even have
    all the information. And Higgins, you can think anything you want, and clearly you do

    Higgy is never wrong, and neither is he right, he's simply Higgy, which transcends everything.

    It's a bit like saying "is the glass half full or half empty?" and Higgy would simply reply "it's not a glass".

    You don't know why or how he's correct, he just is. You don't even dare question it.

    BTB - this thread has certainly been derailed, but if you want to shut them up just show them what they ask. Simple.

    I just took some fantastic photos.

    I'll make a deal with you Minigeff and Higgins...

    I will post the pictures right now, and if something is false then Sir Miles can ban me.
    But if the pictures are legit and exactly like I said, then you Minigeff
    and Higgins can't sign on to this site for one month. Consider it a form of suspension if you will.

    Not only did you mess up this sale, but you also messed up my sale of my John Varvatos jacket.
    I had someone lined up to buy it but you've successfully convinced people that I sell fakes.
    That's called slander, if you are not familiar with the legal term.

    Deal?
  • BTBBTB Posts: 55MI6 Agent
    Actually, let's make things even more interesting shall we?

    Option 2.)

    After I post the new pictures I just took, if either one of you can find something,
    anything that proves that I'm selling something false, I give you both
    $1,000.

    But if you can't find anything false, and everything is true authentic and legit,
    then you both pay me $1,000.

    That's what you call putting your money where your mouth is.

    So what is it gents, option 1 or option 2?
  • minigeffminigeff EnglandPosts: 7,884MI6 Agent
    Er, option 3;

    I give zero fucks.

    Does your proposal include everyone else who said you were full of $hit or are you just targeting Higgybum and me?

    I feel so harrased and singled out. Hey, harassment, that's a legal term too! Snap!

    BTB, I read this whole thread and your cycle of post makes you look like you are full of.... something not pleasant.

    Granted this whole thread has been derailed and is more of a joke. There is a certain formality or conduct on these forums, I personally violated them once and got a barrage. But you would be wise to play nice with those who have posted on this site for YEARS.

    Just post the pictures if you want to sell them. Otherwise ask for the thread closed. -{

    For slander, someone has to tell an untruth about you which harms your reputation. So far, members here have merely questioned the veracity of what you are selling. I think any sensible prospective buyer has a right to kick the tyres on an item without being accused of slanderous or libellous behaviour, and that includes members of this site who look after one another. I'm not sure that your tactics will convince anyone otherwise until you post photos.

  • minigeffminigeff EnglandPosts: 7,884MI6 Agent
    ......which you said you were taking over two hours ago.

    (Serious face on) if you've got a genuine item then simply post a pic, a decent price and wait for the offers.

    However, you've made statements, gone back on them, made claims, suggested you'll post proof and yet here we still are waiting.

    Now some people, including newcomers might say that we're a clicky bunch here, we burn noobs and call people out for no reason...

    Not so.

    What AJB is VERY fortunate to have are long standing VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE members who look out for people, new and old.

    If someone smelt a rat and points out a discrepancy then all 'the accused' has to do is say "oops sorry guys, missed that detail, here's a pic showing it' and hey presto, people's fears are alleviated, faith restored and its game on for all.

    Now if it were that simple, you'd have done it by now.

    What kind of reassurance do you think you give people by repeatedly saying you'll post proof and then we'll all be sorry etc etc?

    Why not just do it?

    Maybe your on a dialup connection, maybe your camera broke, maybe you can't be arsed? Maybe you've already sold them elsewhere?

    Who knows huh....

    Well this thread has had about 5 pages with pure nonsense. No civility whatsoever, just childish jestering. I don't care if someone has posted here for years, if one can't behave then they should do something else instead of wasting peoples time who actually want to know more about this said item.

    Show come class.

    BTB - why don't you post the pictures?

    No "deals" whatsoever. If you really want to find a serious buyer then start behaving like a serious seller. Otherwise you should stop wasting peoples time and stick to ebay.

    I appreciate the straight forward talk Kid.

    And I admit I stooped a little, and didn't handle things as well as I could have.
    But let's face the facts, this thread has become too much of a joke to
    attempt to sell something no matter how rare or nice or authentic the item is.

    I really have no interest in appeasing hecklers or proving anything.

    The purpose of this thread was only for the sale of an item. And that's pretty much gone now.
    So what's the point? Prove that I'm right? This has already been a major waste of time.

    I was having a hard time justifying keeping a $2,000 pair of sunglasses for myself, but
    hey, maybe I will keep them. Maybe this is a sign. How's that for rationalizing? Haha

    So then amend the ebay listing to include the pictures. I have asked sellers of footwear on ebay to include pics of the soles and they have done so.

    I think I might just keep them. They are pretty darn nice

    Well - because it's you :D , I'll explain you exactly what's going around in my mind!

    1. You are relatively new here and are selling pretty high value items
    2. Your attitude as a seller it just bad. You want to sell, you follow the market.
    If the market has concerns - you reply to that. If the market asks for clarification - you give it! If the market is asking for pics - you give them. If the market asks questions, you truely reply to them comprehensively.

    Selling on AJB is a privilege and not a right - you should remember this and act accordingly.

    3. You have actively seeking for those sunglasses (you say for another person - I don't believe you) some weeks ago - for a laughable price compared to what you are asking for now.
    4. Now you come up with a story that you've owned those for a long time.
    5. You mention accidently wiping off the "James Bond 007 TF108 19V etching by "cleaning them". That sounds incedibly careless and stupid on such a high value item. Why the need for cleaning solution when the sunglasses are new and unworn?
    6. The stickers on the left lens is missing - it should be present on new sunglasses!
    7. The packaging does not match with the real deal (It should read "Tom Ford James Bond 007") instead of "Tom Ford"
    8. Your pics show everything from different angles but the most important part, the James Bond etching
    9. As Asp 9mm, the proportions appear to be off by a mile

    That's enough doubts imo to ban you but what tops it all is your attitude.

    Instead of clearing things up, you are mocking about well-founded doubts and do nothing to clear the air off.

    You've been caught with your bogus Luxottica connection - and if you have been really in the business, you'd have for sure kept the right packaging and treated the sunglasses in a way where the James Bond etching still would be present.

    Just to be clear: I am doing mistakes all the time. If someone points them out, I admit them and am trying to correct them. But you can ask anyone here on the board: I have a spotless reputation as a seller. If there is something in doubt - I provide comprehensive information (including pics) immediately.
    Same applies to Asp9mm

    Now that silly bet that you've offered: This shows your take on all this.

    This is not fun or a big gamble. You are a seller and you have the duty to rfer to the questions. Nobody else has to follow your demands - it's the other way round!

    You'd better change your attitude and provide with all demanded infos or you're making an even bigger fool of yourself

    Good for you, so with that in mind, plus the original aim of this thread being to sell said glasses, perhaps you wouldn't mind this thread being closed?

    OK, I've actually taken a photo that proves once and for all aliens exist, I've got it right here.....but I'm not showing you lot!

    btb show the damn pictures or just admit you didn't work for luxottica and you made up your sales pitch. With such glaring errors in your information ridicule was inevitable.
    It was either that.....or the priesthood
