Devilsguy Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I had a guy message me every few days for a month asking if a jersey I have for sale is still available because he has his heart set on it but always needs a "few more days" to get the money. He then goes radio silent on me for 2 weeks so I message him asking if he is still interested. He responds with a nasty attitude saying how dare I ask him when he has medical bills to pay. I guess I can read minds too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYIJM29 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Some guy messaged me about a jersey on FB a while back. I pulled it because it was dead of summer and not moving. Re-listed it on FB and within minutes of re-listing it, the guy asked if it was available. Once I said "yes," he asked for pictures -- which he already had + were available on facebook. Literally nothing after that. I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiggoalie Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 I became friends with this “Justin” character from bumblefuck, USA. All of our conversations start off with one of us saying “I was drinking a few beers last night...” and ends with him buying something from me.

OneJerseyMemorabilia Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) In the main group, 16 separate posts of pics of jerseys for sale by the same seller. If that's not ridiculous enough not one price listed, either. But yet, he's "trying to save time and energy". Get used to seeing these posts at the top for a bit.

Devilsguy Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 I don't even see his posts anymore because FB decided for me that I don't need nor want to see them. Yet their lovely algorithm thinks that I want to continue to see posts for jerseys I have zero interest in that were posted almost 3 weeks ago at the top of my feed for the group. Is there a way to stop that? All I want is to view group feeds in chronological order on my iPhone App. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsguy Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 The hobby has largely moved over to those FB groups. Therefore you are forced to at least be in them if you still want to be actively involved in buying and selling other than eBay or dead forums. A lot of the issues that these groups have could easily be solved by two ways; 1) move the hobby back to forums. This very unlikely to happen. Or 2) better moderation. This is a lot harder than it seems as groups either tend to have mods who are way too hands off or are autocratic with draconian rules. To find the nice happy medium is sadly hard to find.

All I want is to view group feeds in chronological order on my iPhone App. Another annoyance is when I get a FB notification about a new post in one of the groups, only to find out it was actually posted 6, 10, sometimes 24 hours ago. Gee, thanks Facebook for telling about a completely stale post with crap that isn’t available anymore. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dr_Puck Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Occasional drama aside, Facebook has proven to be useful to me. That's where the bulk of the collectors are these days. The mods in multiple groups have gotten a good handle on things. In the last week I've used the groups to track down rare college jerseys, help on removing autographs, and answers on a couple of questions on authentics. The accessibility of knowledgeable collectors and ability to block has been a big plus for me on Facebook. Also, the instant messaging app on Facebook is way easier than the IJ messaging tool.

Devilsguy Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 When you see someone ask a question on FB that you can answer but resisting the urge to supply an answer because you know it will go south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
