But yeah, Pampers = the worst. They have a weird odor (my daughter claims they smell like marshmallows, I think it's more of a noxious artificial odor) and are flaky on the inside.

You know you're on a legit retro board when members are discussing the merits of diapers.

Really I think trolling is just a shitty thing to do and it's definitely not something I would brag about doing or try to get other people involved in.

I have an email drafted to the guy that is how close I am on blowing the lid on this thing.

Also giving him your phone number as well as posting it on a thread like this is a horrible idea.

THIS. I hate bumping such a worthless Thread so Quoted and posted over here. That Trolling Thread should have been Locked and Deleted at the first post. Reported the offending Thread to a Moderator.

Best way to discourage a bragging Troll is not post in that thread.

Better yet, please post a how-to guide with pictures on how to properly report a post and how to not promote a bragging troll. We are all eagerly awaiting.

Here is the thing you are going out of your way to intentionally harm and sabotage someone because you don't agree with their ethics and business practices. I'd be totally fine if you were just complaining or making an argument against the guy we all know how annoying some resellers can be. That being said going as far as to make up a false identity and to toy with the guy is a crappy thing to do regardless of who he is or what he does, and the thread only seems to be escalating things.

To further explain my other comments. I drafted an email to the guy after suggestions were made to make fraudulent negative online reviews of his business and/or to make him drive to random locations. I've been the victim of crap like that before and it's a real dick move. If you want to call me obnoxious for trying to prevent someone from going through the same shit I've experienced in the past then go right ahead.

As for the phone number comment sure you can block his number, but this is the age of the internet. There is so much crap that can be done with your phone number that it's not even funny that's why the #1 rule of being a jerk online is to stay anonymous. Have you not seen posts like this in the past.

Looking for a new home for my N64(free)






I am looking for a new home for my N64 and collection of games. Wife has made it apparent that it needs to go so I wanna find a home that I know is going to appreciate it. I don't want any money for my collection. I will give the whole collection to someone under one condition. Anyone who is interested will have to give their best wookiee impression via phone to me. Call the number , do call and hang up. I will not call anyone back who talks rather than doing a call. If I don't pick up just leave a voicemail. After a couple days I will call back the number with best wookiee call to set up a date, time, location to pickup the collection. Best of luck

Those fraudulent reviews would actually counteract the shill reviews his site has, one by the shops namesake of all people.

It is also a real dick move to offer those prices, and take advantage of the person he thinks he is talking to. The fact you find common group with such a person does not speak highly of your or your selling/buying practices.

[Fragems]

If you must know on multiple occasions I have responded to peoples ads on craigslist offering things at seemingly reasonable prices only to drive 20+ miles and have them either no show or worse.

Best one was a guy was selling an untested Atari 2600 with about 20 common games all in semi rough shape for around $60ish. I called him up said I was fine with his asking price and we set up a meet. So I drive down to a local rite aid about 15 miles away and I wait and wait, and wait. Getting more and more pissed off as I sit there because it's 95 degrees out, there is no breeze, and I left my car turned off because I was trying to save on gas since I was working at the DOH at the time and making a whopping $7.25 an hour. So the guy finally shows up 30 minutes late right as I'm about to leave and tells me some story about how he had trouble getting a ride and he has to run out to his house with his family to pick it up. So I give him the benefit of the doubt and wait for him to go and come back another 30 minutes later he circles around again once again no system in tow. His elderly mom is driving and his two young children are in the back seat. All of them are eating burger king from across the street. I had been their entertainment for the day.

So yeah fuck Craigslist trolls is my position on the matter.

If he is running a shitty business it will catch up with him eventually. I've seen many re-sellers come and go in my time. Trolling in an effort to perform some form of online street justice is completely unnecessary.
