That's my message...please read the email you receive from your buyers! Just cancelled and repaid a PayPal to a guy who can't decide which of three email address or two eBay IDs he wants to use. I told him exactly what I was gonna do but he came back 2 days later with his new Plan B. Not limited to mokes from another planet either, a fellow club member has failed to respond to a direct question three times about a chip he (may?) have sent me. Now I have two auctions that I have no clear idea what action the seller is taking. I'm a KISS (Keep It Simple Stanley!) guy, I use direct words, maps, arrows and stickfigures in my emails and actually proof my stuff! It's crystal clear! Doesn't stop sellers from sending subsequent boilerplate replies or (ugh!) aution-utility invoices that show no indication of having read my initial contact, which leads to more emails to nail down each others intent. You can do it right, we all know sellers who deal hundreds of chips and treat people great!

As long as I'm on a rant, I got a lot from a seller who claims she got my M.O. on Monday (9 days in the mail?) and that she'll mail my chips on Wednesday (!!?!!) but the postmark is flippin' Friday!

New deal sellers, if you are inconsiderate, slow, disorganized and/or stupid, yer gonna get gonged with a neg. The club member? If the right chip doesn't show up in the mail (one of these days), he's going to see his name here and we'll have a little greivenace get-together with Mr. Reilly. CCGTCC membership implies you know how to conduct yourself and if you fail, your going to get gigged, no screwing around at your convenience. I'd be embarrassed if I treated folks the way I get treated sometimes and I'm going to spread the word about it. If you are a club member selling on eBay or Jackpot, please conduct yourself in a manner that benefits CCGTCC.

It's a new day and I've got plenty of red ammo in my negative six-shooter and an itchy trigger finger! Go ahead, send me the chip below and Make My Day!
