Dibs is sh~@t

I've sold lots of stuff b4 on forums, but this dibs shit that people are saying is stupid and getting out of control. So many people dibs stuff and don't even follow it up (happened to me). You either want it or don't; conversely you have the money or don't. If you want it PM the person and pay them. don't just dibs shit for the hell of it.

Dale you're right, which is an unusual shock.
people on forums (especially this one IME) always fuck you around, it's a risk.

a few jeb-ends on here pissed me around in the past and didn't even have the guts or manners to just reply to email saying they changed their minds or whatever, it seems for every one decent buyer there's two deadbeats. I use ebay now mainly for larger stuff, even with it's costs and hassles, it's less gyp.
