Boy, do they make it harder than hell just to e-mail them with a question. They throw up tons of unrelated answers to questions but if you want an old fashioned e-mail address to write them, well, I just can't find it.
I'm trying to find out how I recieved the "dubious honor" of ebay holding each and every payment that I have well earned until the packages are delivered. My wife and I have never failed to mail out each and every package within the two days we always say with our auctions, so how did we get that "honor"?
The only thing that would seem to make sense is when we sold that "STAR WARS" super 8 print, the fellow came right to our house, clicked "buy it now" on his cell phone and took it home that very day. ne need for shipping. If that is the reason why, and they suspect us of not shipping an item, why in the hell didn't they just contact us and ask if we had shipped it already?
We're really puzzled by it. Are there any comporable selling internet sites out there, as were pretty much fed up with this stupidity.

I used to always list them on here first, and at some fairly reasonable prices, (well hey, I'm cheap, so I tend to think cheap, except in the case of the STARWARS print, which I'm sure as hell not goin to just let go for 100.00 bucks.) ...
but I'd let them sit on here for four or five days, no e-mails or nothing, so then I'd have my wife list them on her ebay account.

You know what we need?
Something I'm going to call a "Film Convention".
That way, we can all meet together at various locations around the world, get to know each other, then barter over our beloved prints; maybe making some new friends or even enemies and in doing so, trade face to face.
And if that doesn't work...adopt a "middle man", ie; a "dealer" who can sit in the middle of the room and buy and sell our films for us, taking a little profit, but reducing the personal interaction between seller and buyer, thus reducing the potential for any physical disagreements.
Just a thought. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
