appropriate that my last post caused such bitterness in someone that they felt the need to take respect points away from me.

thought giving someone a heads up to a morons sepia, that is bringing less than the norm, would be helpful and kind.

i seriously deserve little respect for i do bad things to good people.

in fact tonight i will go home and tear my sepia print to shreds, it means nothing to me and was only purchased so that i could take it away from a TRUE banksy fan....

Maybe the respect "snatcher"was watching the auction and hoping to make a killing. Your "heads up" attracted more attention to the item than the snatcher wanted! I'll give you back a respect point soon - I gave one out only 15 minutes ago.

i'll give you one (ooh, err), nothing more churlish than taking respect for minor bitternesses. if i called your mum a c*nt fair do's. some people need to grow up, or at least show their faces and argue the point.

that's the problem with the respect system, any dick can register an account and not contribute to the forum but sit there on the sly and take points away from those that do try to help.

have a go at me you spineless needle d*ck little f*cks, i've got enough to lose. maybe you should ask yourselves what you are doing here if it ain't to help out.

w*nkers.

Well you get a respect point from me dogbyte.

It'll be interesting to see what this goes for, I won't be bidding it's out of my league, but if I was I'd be concerned about it making it across the atlantic without any damage.

Then you've got the customs which on £2000 could be about £450, this is perhaps what's holding the price back, but could be a steal for someone in the US.

What difference does it make, people should disagree with things If you feel its the right thing to do, regardless if you know your going to take hits on respect. After all it you can't save them up for a free burger

but the same should be said for the little p*ssies that nick a + off you without having the ars*hole to argue the point as to why you should lose one. by all means say what you really think but also respond how you really think, don't be spineless, say nothing but mark someone down.

i think if the powers that be are gonna keep this system in place they should remove the powers of anyone not posting to give respect, positive or negative otherwise it is a total mockery. (if it isn't already?)

Nombei, I think it may be down to the over zealous customs officers who have the ability to spot a Banksy tube before the plane has landed, then proceed to slap a heavy tax on it whilst laughing to their colleagues about it over a cheese and pickle sandwich.

i have to say this auction seemed to end quite suspiciously..

at the last minute a bidder with a new account and no feedback won at $4,250.

this one will probably end up being re-listed due to "buyer backed out/couldn't raise funds"...

I have a sepia morons for sale(better than ebay price)/trade, if anyone is interested send me a PM.
