What Really Grinds Your Gears?

[Serturbo]

When Ebay tells you their fakes are real. So much for authentications.

I'm more pissed about ebay. They know a lot of stuff is fake but still allow it. All while touting how good their authentication process is.

I reported a blatantly fake Omega Speedmaster dial and they said after review they couldn’t determine it went counter to their listing practices so left it up. I pointed out it contravened Omega trademarks in a second post but they weren’t having any of it

Oakley raising the prices twice in a 12 month period while my pay stays the same.

Scammers and thieves. Burn in hell.

That the only Valve 1.0's that seem to be available cheap are mostly dark gray Valves. That I don't want any more of.

And that some people want X-metal money for one.

By the way, it's a lovely day today. Beautiful morning.

When I look up a Mars on Ebay right now, the first two things I see are fakes.

I need to vent. You may too.

My current frustrations:

1. eBay sellers with 'Buy it Now, or Best Offer' auctions who auto-decline your offer. Asking price is $85, I offer $65, auto decline, I up to to $70, auto decline. Ok, so what's the offer button for?

I've had $75 offers on $150 items be accepted in the past, and I've had lowballs haggled to a fair price, but it just grinds my gears when they auto decline like that!

2. *******s at work. We have a tool who honestly is going to be fired soon, just looking for an excuse. Well he thought it would be funny to chuck my M Frames across the shop today because I took them off for a moment and set them down to wipe my face. They're no worse for wear since someone caught them, but OOOOOOOH BOY was he about to get a tongue lashing before someone quickly took him away from me. He hasn't been with the company very long, so he doesn't know, unlike everyone else, how I am with my glasses. Which is beside the point.

I'm told he said something like "what, they're just safety glasses". Have fun in the unemployment line, you little ****.

I totally get your frustration, especially with eBay sellers who auto-decline offers. It feels like they’re not even open to negotiation, which defeats the purpose of the "Best Offer" option. And as for the situation at work, that’s completely unacceptable behavior. It’s good that someone intervened, but hopefully, management takes appropriate action to prevent such disrespect in the future.
