some juicy ebay-auctions

if everyone would have a fair go my dear mornedhel, I would have charged and not asked for donations, the whole community and mithril themselves for the work I have achieved to make MMP stay alive and develop the database… which by the way I have been paying all by myself for last two years

Indeed I am upset, a figurine I have been looking for , in 10 years… pops up at the worst time ever in my life… with our dear Fabrice Jacob teasing me about his “two” version since he joined the community asking for 2000€ to sell it…

well it seems, after all those years Mithril has still some money power….

I’m disgusted… you want my collection …. ok, give it a go… it will be 20000€ (that’s the price it is assured for…. i don’t give a shit anymore)

I don’t want to talk about it there I have other matters at hand that really piss me off happening all at once, at the time of christmas… worst christmas ever for me…

won’t elaborate in public… have a nice evening gentlemen…

There are a lot of dusty corners in this factory…who knows what else they can find there… I think your collection worth more than 20000 Euros master Gildor…

Actully I am not upset by such discoveries… I certainly don’t have the money to buy such figures… I wonder how much this miniature will cost in final bidding battle…

I actually think this is pure bullshit… (2000 EUr for a figure) or how to say it in fairy language “shit happens”….

Hm

Mais qu’est-ce que j’ai à voir avec cette histoire sur Ebay Christophe !? Je ne comprends pas pourquoi tu jettes ainsi mon nom en pâture, sans en donner tous les détails.
Aussi permets moi ici de restaurer la vérité, en toute transparence, en publiant un droit de réponse, un simple extrait de mon Mel à propos de la ME 2, un extrait de notre correspondance.

« Pour la figurine ME 2, je crois que ton opiniâtreté te permettra de l’obtenir à un moment ou un autre et au montant que tu estimeras le plus juste. Si à l’époque, je ne l’ai pas lâchée au montant proposé (1 500 €), je ne la lâcherai pas pour moins aujourd’hui et surtout pas à moins de 2 000 €. En quelque sorte, ce tarif prohibitif est un moyen de la conserver. Elle représente toujours quelque chose de très chère à mon cœur et qui plus est, il me semble qu’elle se plait bien chez moi, parmi ses consoeurs. ».

Je ne suis pas, je ne suis plus un collectionneur aussi acharné que tu peux l’être. L’ai-je d’ ailleurs été ? Je peux comprendre ton ressentiment mais je ne peux être l’élément expiatoire dans cette histoire. Je ne suis en rien responsable de la politique de Prince August et je donnerai tout pour ne pas être en possession de deux ME 2 aujourd’hui, j’y ai perdu mon meilleur ami ! Je me suis longtemps tenu loin des réseaux sociaux, je n’y ai dérogé que pour honorer la mémoire de Jacques, à travers le TMM. Je regrette aujourd’hui. Je ne souhaite plus voir la vérité déformée, aussi je me retire donc de ce forum. Je suis désolé si j’ai blessé quelqu’un d’autre, cela n’a jamais été mon objectif. Je vous souhaite à tous de pouvoir continuer sereinement votre rêve.

But what do I have to do with this story on Ebay Christophe!? I do not understand why you throw my name into pasture, without giving all the details.
Also allow me here to restore the truth, in all transparency, by publishing a right of reply, a simple excerpt from my Mel about the ME 2, an excerpt from our correspondence.

“For the figurine ME 2, I believe that your stubbornness will allow you to get it at one time or another and the amount that you think will be the fairest. If at the time, I did not drop to the amount proposed (€ 1,500), I will not let go for less today and especially not less than € 2,000. In a way, this prohibitive tariff is a way to keep it. She always represents something very dear to my heart and what is more, it seems to me that she likes well at home, among her sisters. “.

I’m not, I’m not a collector as hard as you can be. Have I been there anyway? I can understand your resentment but I can not be the atoning element in this story. I am in no way responsible for Prince August’s policy and I will give everything to not be in possession of two ME 2 today, I lost my best friend there! I stayed away from social networks for a long time, only to honor Jacques’ memory, through the TMM. I regret today. I do not wish to see the distorted truth anymore, so I leave this forum. I’m sorry if I hurt someone else, it was never my goal. I wish you all to continue your dream serenely.

Gentlemen, I feel a visit at the Prancing Pony is a must to do instead of putting messy thoughts in public like that.
Please join me for a breakfast, lunch, diner and more.

Now that’s a sensible suggestion

I looked closely at the auction history log…. something odd it seems the highest bidder has absolutly never bought anything on ebay (0 feedback) and constantly upgrading its bid in matters of seconds, looks like a bot “auto bidding” to counter all real bidders…. as some people often do on ebay

so much for “fairness”…

let’s have some cider….

Heyho, fellowship. I just tested it, the zero feedback bidder just had multiple bids, therefore several auto-increases. Nothing rigged. I am not expecting to last long at the top, though. Cheers.

Master protozeus, after 15 minutes you’r still number one!

last time such a thing happened was years ago… and the auction raised up to 1600€… because of me mainly… and I lost… “thanksfully”

detach is not something I do easily hsf62…. I already have to detach from other things , that makes a lot to detach at the same time
well, then I suppose master Protozeus is mister “1339 feedbacks”
that’s interesting how such event gather people and make them come out of the shadows
