Just Received a PM From a Member Asking Me to Buy His Cards

BostonNut · 08-19-2012, 08:05 PM

He even told me I was looking for them. (I definitely am not...)

Is this what this place is turning into? Spam through PM's??? Gosh I hope not!

I got the same thing.

It may be the same one who hit me up. Username?

mmbtvs · 08-19-2012, 08:39 PM

I got it a couple of weeks ago.

Ooosh · 08-19-2012, 08:42 PM

Me too, two of them haha.

Homerun · 08-19-2012, 08:43 PM

I'm sorry guys, I sent out a few today. I didnt know that it was against the rules. I won't do it again. I am really sorry.

Oh, I don't know who sent to you. I was just trying to sell some of my cards. I'm sorry.

I got it too. Just report it to the mods and they will be banned.

I already discussed it with fish and I apologized.

WilsonValdez · 08-20-2012, 11:17 AM

I got 2 of these (as did the other 10 people who were CC'ed). Even after my typical incredibly sarcastic/stupid response after the first, the hint was not taken and a 2nd was sent:

All marks are on the scanner. LMK if you are interested, thanks.

Alright, thanks anyway.

Alright sorry man. I didn't get it. Let's just move on.

Ooosh · 08-20-2012, 12:56 PM

Any Kornerko?

Just kidding Homerun, it is all good

I seem to get 1-3 a day now...

Thanks Ooosh. At least you aren't so uptight about everything.

So do I. Thats why I started doing it in the first place. I didn't know that it was wrong.

I've been PMed many times by various folks looking to sell me cards. Sometimes they've gotten a pleasant no thank you response, while others have made sales. Can't blame them for going fishing if they have something to offer you that is in your sig. To me that is the point of stating in your sig what you collect because you might get an offer for something that you didn't notice being sold in a thread or elsewhere.

Thank you. That was my purpose in PMing them. I don't know why they are so angry.

What players/sets are in WilsonValdez's signature?

Whodey14 · 08-20-2012, 01:31 PM

I appreciate when someone sees what I collect in my sig and pms me. I can't believe others would be uptight and upset by that.

He collects Phillies, so I messaged him about a chrome auto. He should of just said no thanks.

Based on the people posting in this thread, I don't think that's what happened. BostonNut, Bars and Bars, mmbtvs, Ooosh, and WilsonValez don't have signatures that contain any information on who/what they collect.

So, we all know who most of them collect anyway, regardless if they have it in their sig.

Thanks. I don't know why people feel like they have to police everyone around.
