Why is this ebay seller insistent I send a cheque?, by Neate Michael on Jun 4, 2008 15:46:46 GMT 1, As some of you know I was pretty desperate for a Geisha Girl last week... So I contacted this seller: cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280233023540
I so far have got a £200 discount, IF i pay by cheque...
Should I be worried?

I would be worrying more if they asked for cash or western union transfer.
Your choice though.

Why is this ebay seller insistent I send a cheque?, by spirit on Jun 4, 2008 16:01:04 GMT 1, Why do I keep reading posts about women and old men pushing in. I mean if it was some thug that was built like a brick shit-house I can understand why one might not want to start complaining - but women and old men???!!!

Why is this ebay seller insistent I send a cheque?, by Neate Michael on Jun 4, 2008 16:02:16 GMT 1, Well it was a genuine question as to why she was so insistent on cheque but to be fair you guys have answered it, and it probably wasn't dodgy.... I'm just not sure I want the print bad enough to give her a £350 profit, particularly when it is likely she was a queue pusher inner...

The old men where 45 year old types who were far harder than any of us! And the lady slipped in with them... You may be *so macho* but I ain't getting punched for a print!

At risk of starting the boring queue diaries again, they didn't push into our line, the queue went (as you looked at the door) to the left... They all bundled in from the right... I was mid queue and so would have had to bundle to the front to control the pushing in, and really didn't fancy it. Far more English to stand there and grumble!

How do you define 'harder' , appearance? Never judge a book by its coveri say.. I have a mate whos so small you could pop him in your pocket, he looks like a lovely little fella but when he blows he blows. currently serving 6 months.

Graeme, you are possibly harder than I, but there was no pushing in, they simply started their own renegade queue at the front... I was mid queue. Anyway, this is all (rain) water under the bridge. It's done - it's over...

Well as long as no-one does anything about it you can't really be surprised or complain when they keep doing it. How many people did they push in front of? I bet there was more of you than there were of them.

I was mid queue, so clearly harder in appearance than the other 14 guys in front of me! As it turns out, we'd not have got a red one but a blue geisha would have been just as nice.

exactly, they get away with it because no1 challenges them, stand up2 them, and tell them 2 fuck off, and most probably they will

Why is this ebay seller insistent I send a cheque?, by Montubu7 on Jun 4, 2008 16:15:38 GMT 1, To be fair this is why i tend to avoid opening nights & print releases. I have a tendency to tell people the truth regardless of size, hardness ect, i had a pop @ a aussie woman at cans who was shouting her mouth off in front of my kid. I must agree though its in no ones interests to let people jump the line & a collective FUCK OFF would probably help somewhat.
Its also worth being aware with todays culture that someone could easily pull a knife on you though!

She won't have my money, £500 is as high as I will go and it seems £600 is what she wants... Nevermind... Anyway, next time there is a queue I will bring you along to keep it in order (not that I would be in a queue but hypathetically if I was you would be my go to man for order keeping!)

Exactly... It is ONLY a print. A desirable lovely print that I would have framed and hung on my wall and loved very much. But I have others and doubtless at some stage a print will be released that I like as much as the Geisha Girl and then I will try and buy that (if no queues are involved).
