I had an auction end in Aug at a nice price of $25.00 for one of my $7.99 auctions. The lady was very sweet & very upbeat & enthusiastic emails. --
THEN NOTHING!
No responses to my pleas for moola! No response to the NPB! No response when I filed for FVF! But she was so nice before I just couldn't bring myself to neg her.
Then, last week, OUT OF THE BLUE she contacted me! I had to open a new box of Depends! She had been traveling all summer in Lower Slobovia (or somewhere) and lost track of her email! I got her MONEY ORDER today & shipped her item --
THEN I NEGGED HER!
Ha!hA! just kidding! But the moral of this story: if it walks like a duck...

Nice that you're able to sit on your inventory for months at a time, tomwii. Some of us actually have to turn over inventory at least once a month or so to cover costs, let alone make a profit.
But hey, if you're happy....I'm delighted for you.

now and then I get the rare bidder who for some odd reason looks like a dead beat too and then out of the blue in comes a check I usually will ship with a fake smile.
I to have to turn over my inventory but when I have some items that for one reason or another wont sell I rarely sit on them I sit in a chair and pile the inventory on the desk I sit sit behind every Item that dont sell you could say, also a good reminder for a while as what not to invest in again

Fortunately, kelli, not everybody is so easily wounded as you appear to be from your post. No bashing was intended or, as far as I can tell from tomwii, received. If you're attempting to imply that I'm one of these hideously insensitive big sellers YOU are bashing - it is to laugh.
Yeah, tom, that does clear things up juuuuust a bit
