seriously Choo,
I try not to think too much about all these silly policies...it's extremely irritating.
And after working so hard all summer to keep my 20% PS discount, I find it very ironic that now I won't have much to sell til November. My discount will be gone by then Frown
I can't keep up that kind of volume continuously. Oh well...I'm still trying to decide whether or not to sell at all next summer Confused

And now...Back to our usual
Perhaps that's the trouble, no whackings being dealt out.

Apart from yourself have any of the others been on site in any other threads, haven't seen them during my infrequent visits. Well greedbay has just about destroyed the old community spirit so I suppose it's not surprising things are getting quiet around here.

Ok, we'll just have to put up with each for now Eek
The way I see it the living do you more harm than the dead and there are far more dead people than there are live ones.

But, I may be proved wrong . . . . Eek

Afterall even the half dead are those that make the Monday morning drive to work scary Mad

Driving late at night is great, clear roads and only the occasional high speed nutter to avoid who thinks they're the only one around. Most of the drunks are already at home or in ditches, I hate traffic queues and always prefer working hours which avoided the crush hours Big Grin

So that's what you are, sorry for the delay in responding in my usual dubious manner, been a bit busy here.

Well they say pets are very much like their owners, seems that it is so true, even for creatures of the night.

I'm sure I have some leftovers from mincing your lieutenants it will enjoy, or were they mincing lieutnants Razz
Well Ms M I tend to agree, we have kept it on life support for some while now but I think it would now be kinder to let it slip away.

I used to be quite active on most Auctiva boards when I was selling a lot of items on greedbay, the days when it was still fun. Long gone Roll Eyes This thread provided a pleasant break full of banter and lunacy, but it does need a large varied bunch of lunatics to keep it fresh, I'm right out of ideas Frown.

To me GreedBay as a source of income is almost history and I think the absence of most of the original crew on this thread and seemingly elsewhere on these boards reflects a general lack of enthusiasm as the online community spirit of GreedBay has waned.

Not a month goes past without more money grabbing from GreedBay, shortly we (UK) will have to offer free p&p for DVD's, it's strange but the Royal Mail and packing suppliers still expect payment for their products Confused

It's been a real pleasure chatting/bantering with you and our long lost epic threaders, I will still keep a watch on this thread.

Jim, aka Choo Smile
I thought the idea was if you didn't treat them they 'tricked' you, perhaps you should have given them a 'bite' in return. Better still taken them back to your workplace on the front of your car Big Grin

152 pages of useless drivel! Big Grin Big Grin And they said it could not last until New Years 2008. Just popped by to say Bonjour mes amis. I know I have been MIA for quite sometime.Life has been being very good for me.I do not have much time to do the computer thing because of work and spending my time with my fiancee. Will try to pop by again sometime soon.
TAZ!!
Buenos noches to you too Smile
Yeah, it's just me & Choo now (sniff sniff) Frown
Useless drivel...ain't it great? Big Grin

Glad things are going well for you..for me too. Dunno about Choo, he just gets crabbier every day Razz I have TWO jobs now, don't know if ya read that far back. But I still try to find time to post here, unlike SOME people (nudge wink)

You'll have to stop by more often...we're trying to keep the thread going til at least Christmas but it's getting difficult.

I missed that lil' Tazmanian Devil popping up & down! Don't be a stranger Smile
Hellow all of the Ninth Wave! I have been keeping up sorta with the email notifier....but have not been posting. But I know this is still alive.
I only see a couple of people posting now. AND what is this about TAZ???? omgoodness!
Fangmother, how is work? It's been so long since I heard if they were taking away your jabbing ability....I hope you retained it.
Never see Zeb or lots of others....
I see the thread exists that's what's important I guess; now I must change that from seeing it to actually visiting it.
Choo is still alive and well I see, but everyone is is very spotty, do we have a leopard around?
Been having huge probs with categories..then I couldn't log into here for about 3 weeks....but now I believe all is well.
My store is growing tho. Have 90 some items now, but very little business....so the store will remain for a while! Which means so will I! Big Grin
Hi N good to hear from you, so
quote:
everyone is is very spotty

Well that's the problem mixing with strange threaders, don't know what contagious disease you can catch, anything from the 'rambles' to 'verbal diahorea'to the 'screaming ab dabs' we've had it all in here Eek

At least you knocked this thread onto its 153rd page Smile

I only list to order on greedbay for some items now, I prefer to sell things like magazine items on Specialist Auctions at this time much more cost effective even with a low sale rate.

Greedbay is so complicated and anti-small seller these days I can hardly be bothered to sell on it now, I live in hope that the stand alone Auctiva store will be a success so I can use their tools again. Cool
I'm kind of surprised the login problem isn't resolved yet Confused
I guess they just don't like ya Wink
So are we going to be able to see your Auctiva store? Seriously, my other half (notice I didn't say 'better', hehehe) would probably be interested in some of your stuff. OOOOO That would mean your DSRs would be at my mercy Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

I'm just kiddin ya about that.....
Well well well....look what the cat dragged in Big Grin How ya been Pete? We missed ya! Don't let Choo bother ya, he's getting real crabby in his old age Razz Razz

Don't think we were ignoring you...look at the dates on our posts. Few and far between. But I guess our thread will make it til X-Mas after all, one whole year Smile Glad to see you back. Have you actually read any of the recent posts on this thread? LOL.... Not much is new.

And where's my Tardis? Frown
Hi Choo, delighted to see you missed me! Big Grin

Hey Susanne, I'm OK thanks, hope you are too? I decided to change my avatar, and as I enjoyed the Horton Hears a Who film, I pinched an image from that Wink Who knows, I may put the Tardis back one day.

So, how's business, been selling much?

PS - If you like Doctor Who, look in my store!
Allo' I'm a watching this thread even though busy on less imporatnt things, some contradictions here :-

I'm happy to help you with that lady anytime Choo Pete.

Stirring things up again are we Pete, welcome back, all we need now is to get a long overdue blast from Taz and off we go Smile

I followed thy link and still got "Posted 18 December 2007 12:36 AM " Confused

Oh, so what, Happy Birthday/Anniversary epic thread, threadesses, threaders, and threadpersons !! Cool

Especially to the long suffering (receiving or is it giving ?) FangMother aka Ms M, . . .

Howdy Taz long time no Taz-speak good to see, my batookis will be carefully degruntled and stashed hicky-dory, no fear !

Come on folks lets hear from you all,
recently returned Pete, Ninth, Shadeaux, Kbalona, N . . , Zebra, any omissions are entirely due to my threading senility Smile

Remember - back on page 4 - would this thread continue !!!
Wow it's hard to believe it's been a whole year Smile
And glad to see Taz made an appearance (Hi Taz!!)
Now if we could just find Pete again (wonder why he keeps disappearing) and Miss S & Ninth we'd be all set. I haven't heard from Miss S for about a month, but I think I know where she is...... Big Grin

Guess I'll have to learn this language you guys are speaking, altho I do seem to be able to understand it Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

An award - most likely the 'Order of the Boot' for clogging up their server Big Grin

I take it by the early Christmas wishes (even to me Eek) you are about to abandon the thread for the duration.

Oh well I'd better be a little crabless and wish you a Merry Christmas too Razz
Oh, I would never abandon this thread Smile
I like Order of the Boot...something like this?

Sorry, it was the only pic I could find Roll Eyes

I'll have to find you some crabs Choo...can't have you being crabless, I don't think it's even possible Wink


EDIT..I'm using Firefox now & have trouble uploading images..sigh...I'll try to change it later Smile Smile Smile
Sorry for the delay getting back in here, I only just finshed working my way through the box of dolls that mysteriously appeared on my doorstep. Strange how they all seemed to have a surprised look on their faces - is that normal does anyone know?

Hope you all had a good start to the new year, I know I have! Big Grin

Happy new Year all!

HA Pete--as if you didn't know Wink (just kidding)
Well it looks like I'm not the only one that's been MIA...working my lil' fingers to the bone Frown and I'm still not rich... Roll Eyes

But I know what Choo is up to-he's planning another attack on my house with the killer tomatoes Eek

Too funny - there are a couple more recent votes on this thread. Too bad we haven't seen Miss S and the infamous Ninth Wave lately ... Wonder what they're up too
Hi 7658jds, welcome to "The Epic Thread", we could do with some more mischief makers here.

Beware, these tomatoes are well seasoned veterans, nothing green about them, especially the overipe ones, who are particularly messy and nasty Big Grin

Please note that I did say "tomatoes" and not "tomato" so the next time you leave your horizontal cabinet Ms F and the sky darkens it won't be a UFO or a rain cloud but a UKO - an Unfried Ketchup Object.

Current postion, drifting across the Atlantic after whetting their appetites on tourists over here.

Should be there in a few days, they know what you look like as I have programmed them with your data gleaned from this thread . . . Razz

Oh and . . . Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
Hey everybody,

WOW been trying to get used to the new My Ebay page they forced on us here...slow ugly waste of spaceFrown
You have to customize it to get it to even resemble something you can work with. Check it out, Choo see what you think. Sign into Ebay.com. I've actually been working through Ebay Ca, they haven't messed with that one yet. SIGH

So anyway, I'll have to worry about the tomato attack later (but I've got my burgers ready & waiting) Big Grin Big Grin
Oh well makes a change for the US greedbayers to get a downgrade thrust on them before everyone else.

I see the same old My greedbay page and editor via .co.uk or .com so perhaps we are spared for a while Roll Eyes

Nevermind takes your mind off of constructive things like selling items Wink

Not sure when I will list again on greedbay as my sales are ramping up well on Specialist Auctions with minimal fees, a lot of buyers arrive via Google searches.

And of course Auctiva eCommerce isn't available here yet Frown
Yikes, our thread is getting buried again...thought I'd better stop in & say hello Smile

Glad your sales are doing well Choo. I keep saying I'm gonna stop selling here but I always end up with so much inventory (can't resist a bargain) I pretty much HAVE to sell here if only to free up some space.

So what's new? Still planning the attack of the killer tomatoes? Eek Eek Eek

Oh, and can't forget these... Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Razz
Yep can't leave the lounge for 5 minutes (or was it days) without this thread slipping down the charts, still top of the league for replies and views though Cool

I thought the killer toms had ketchuped with you and feasted well seeing as I have not heard from you lately.

Perhaps they don't like American snacks Razz

Well sales are good here as fixed price listings, but unfortunately auction sales are not feasible yet (need more buyers), still come on Auctiva eCommerce, don't want to have to send my other items to greedbay, yuk, Eek

Hey Everyone is getting their site up and running,but I still do not have a invite. I have been waiting sent I had my beta back in November. I guess you had to be a powerseller to get on auctiva ecommerce. and don't tell me about how your not a powerseller cause all I see is big time sellers. So good bye to you all and I hope you have good luck. I will keep my ebay site and go some place else to start my off ebay site.
Hi, what on earth is a sensible posting doing on this thread Eek

Actually I will tell you I was not a powerseller on greedbay at the time of getting an invite but quite a regular poster and advocate of Auctiva Smile

But anyway I have to wait until Auctiva eCommerce becomes available here in the UK.

End of sensible transmission, we now return to the nonsense that this thread is based on.

The FangMother Vs the killer tomatoes, the story so far, errrmm .... oh so what Roll Eyes

Just as well my coffin is 'connected', in other words they ain't appy Razz

P.S. Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
You do swear a lot don't you what is this thread coming too !

Got your mail via greedbay only, with its sensored sender e-mail address, mine was probably similarly corrupted.

Anyway, just replied via greedbay, if you don't receive it please use the 'ask seller a question' on any of my listings on Specialist Auctions.

Same seller id as on greedbay Cool
quote:
couldn't find you on Specialist Auctions...no matter.


"No matter" - Wash your mouth out you unwashed heathen Eek, I feel the urge to grow some more tomatoes Mad

It a future nemesis of the dark one, not sure that if I had put my e-mail address in full on the greedbay contact member mail it would have got through hence splitting it up. Anyway I thought there was a private message facility on here, it's mentioned when you add someone to your buddies list but I could not find how to actually do it Confused
7658jds,

There are still plenty of burgers left in my freezer (the freezer of doom)
.....Choo remembers what I've kept in there HA!

But if he's going to start growing even MORE killer tomatoes, then we'll all just have to have a giant BBQ Smile

So you left the Dark Side huh? Where did ya go to? I have to stay on the dark side, it's the only thing that works for me Smile

EDIT - BTW, there's another vote for the long gone ninth wave Eek
quote:
Are you going to tell him the secret ingredient of your burgers or will you leave that to the pathologist

Oh now c'mon Choo....you know I never used them as ingredients (shudder) Eek or did I???
And as far as thread homework even I don't remember how far back this was Big Grin We've been rambling on for a LONG time Big Grin

7658jds, when you get your store up, be sure to enclose a link Smile

Please remember this was a real event Eek unlike most of this thread Big Grin

7658jds you definitely do not want one of those burgers! They are RAT burgers. Almost forgot about that one Choo and MissM! Hope everything is going well for everybody. I barely have time to get on here anyore. Way to busy. I will try to pop in occasionally. It has been over a year since I sold anything online Frown
Hi guys!

WinkHA, just when you thought you were rid of me here I am Smile Tell the truth you missed me Smile

I spent the last couple of weeks with an abscessed tooth, AND a reaction to my antibiotics...almost ended up in the hospital. I spend enough time there, NO WAY do I want to be there as a patient Eek I think I'm ok now as far as that goes but I think I'm starting to get the flu that's going around. *Sigh* It never ends...I'm so old and decrepit I'm falling apart Big Grin Big Grin

Hi Taz, good to see ya. What are you so busy with? Too many jobs,like me?? Smile Choo, do you work or are you independently wealthy Roll Eyes Roll Eyes (THAT calls for rolling eyes Big Grin Razz )

Well, gonna take some aspirin & crawl into my coffin (Pls don't nail the lid shut again Choo, it's hell on my fingernails trying to get out) Razz
quote:
*Sigh* It never ends...I'm so old and decrepit I'm falling apart


Aaah, poor ol' fang, don't fret as you get older you have less time to wait for the next part to fall off. Big Grin

Oh BTW it does end Razz

A few tips :-
1) try not to fall asleep in the garden in case you get dug in to the flower bed
2) be careful not to fall into the bin when putting it out for collection
3) check the contents of the cleaner after using it for missing parts
4) sneeze carefully to catch any loose parts

Do I work, very good question, although curious, why do you ask ? Smile
CHOO!!!!!!!!

For God's sake, what happened to ya?????????

A number of reasons come to mind.....

1. Your senility finally got the best of you and your wife locked you away somewhere

2. I did a REALLY good job of nailing your coffin lid shut the last time I did it

3. The 'enforcers' were finally able to get to you (yeah, and you wanted to stay with them...ewwww Big Grin )

4. Your KT (killer tomato) had YOU for lunch

5. or (DUH) without your brain you are .... ??

I don't even know what to say


Yep, I know the problem, still, gibbering away on here was always enjoyable, sorry is enjoyable Roll Eyes

I suppose it is a knock on effect from selling on greedbay becoming such a turn-off, oh well, I'll no doubt pop-in in now and again to give the ol'fangmother a good lid nailing Wink Big Grin

oh and a Roll Eyes for the road !!
quote:
I thrive on a challenge

What exactly does THAT mean? Big Grin
Very funny .. why am I always getting picked on Roll Eyes

Anyway, having 2 jobs was NOT greedy...They almost closed my hospital last year so I got a 2nd job just in case (see, you are getting senile, you forgot about that..lol Big Grin) Our economy here is so bad right now I probably should have stayed but life's too short Smile (And I'm too lazy..just kidding) So now I have more time to go swimming and riding.

I wish we were gonna have a hot summer, can't tell yet, summer's barely here. Only 2 hot days so far. Typical Chicago weather. I'll be wearing a jacket to work tomorrow Frown

Stop over for a visit Choo, I'LL teach you how to swim
I don't think teaching me to swim will be helped by concrete armbands, anyway my swimming style is already akin to the ability of house brick.

Economy here would be joke here too if it wasn't so real, certainly reduced my income some what but on the positive side I think I can ride it out without any real grief, I hope !

Yes, life is too short to dwell on it and there are always cheaper ways to enjoy oneself, this being one of them Razz

I wonder how many read this tripe and think Roll Eyes "grow up you daft perishers" to them I say, eerrrm, ummm, oh, who cares, as you say life is too short, certainly to be sensible all the time Big Grin

edit - page 160, onwards and tripewards Big Grin

Looks like the epic thread is finally coming to an end Frown Almost a year & 1/2 tho, we did good Smile

No the thread that would not die CANNOT die just yet. What would all the poor people who have been following this thread do? I don't think the thread is ready to "jump the shark" just yet!I am sure you know what that quote refers to Miss M, poor Choo on the other hand may be a bit lost on it. Yes I still get updates emailed to me on the thread!
Unfortunately eBay did a good job of killing itself for me so I no longer am listing anything. I still occasionally go to local auctions and do a yard sale or set up at the flea market occasionally. But my full time J.O.B keeps me pretty busy and the better half keeps me occupied when I am not working. Yup ,almost 2 years together now. Starting to think seriously about the M word LOL.
Hi Taz it's GREAT to see ya Smile
Thought you disappeared for good, like a couple others we know...
So, the M word huh?? Uh-oh..I thought you were a confirmed bachelor Wink
Whatever the case, I'm SO very glad for you. I volunteer Choo to be best man and I'll be a bridesmaid..LOL! Just let us know when & where.

I know all about the JOBS and being busy...I just did a 3 day weekend, 12 hours each day & I'm exhausted! At least the double time for Memorial Day will make me feel better Big Grin

Don't be such a stranger...I could use somebody to help me pick on Choo (he loves it) Big Grin
quote:
Can we get back to business of being idiots now please?


Is that venture profitable and do you have to pay any #@%^&!!! fees to participate? Big Grin

Want the realllly bad news? I now have to pay to assist members in the Forum. Eek I don't list to eBay anymore, but have to pay to help with templates. Oh well....who said no good deed ever goes unpunished....got that one right.

Danno
Danno...welcome, welcome! I don't think you've ever posted here before have you? (You missed out on alot Smile )

Choo is right (for once) Roll Eyes.. --sometimes you just have to let go and get silly. Heck we've been at this for a year & a half. Even with everyone else gone...

BTW I haven't been here lately because I've been very busy trying to find big enough silver nails to keep Choo's coffin lid shut. He keeps getting out Big Grin

Anyway, join in anytime Smile We need some new blood

EDIT----ok wait...what do you mean you have to PAY to help with templates? That doesn't sound right Confused

OK, where IS everybody??????????

Don't make me put up that tumbleweed picture again ... gotta keep my images down Roll Eyes

Choo, have you been learning how to swim? Were you going to surprise me??
Hey, I picked my first red tomato today, the only one..the rest are all green. But soon the KILLER tomato will be ready for ya Choo Eek It's alrady got little tiny fangs growing in Wink
I'd be more surprised than you if I was learning to swim, mind you, just think of the arm muscles I'd develop if I managed it with those concrete arm bands you so thoughtfully sent me Roll Eyes

Meanwhile you are the one who has to worry about the killer tomato, they strike to ripen. They suck blood to turn red, looks like you are going to have competition in the fangs department if it gets loose without snacking on you first Big Grin
