Wow, that's a bumper of a Kiss story, hard to  believe a reputable dealer would do such a thing.

I used to love the story I heard from half a dozen different people - Melbourne dealer would quote to buy a machine over the phone, but the seller had to bring  it there (funny, they have trucks and all sorts of ready equipment for such things). When the seller arrived, this person would take a look, claim it not as described and lower the offer substantially. Poor seller, he's lumbered the thing into a probably borrowed ute or trailer, used up half a day and spent the cash in his head on the way. Sure, the seller could say no and leave, but you only need a small percentage to say yes for the dealer to get some cheap stock, delivered for free to their door!!

These bad experiences emphasise the need for forums like this, made up of a group of people who will look after each other.
I was thinking about the Drop a Card http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140529879106&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT on ebay which is being sold by the seller mentioned by CaveofTreasures. Kind of glad I didnt bid because I was relying solely on the de******ion provided.
Definitely all of us need to follow the old rule "Buyer Beware" but this should hopefully only be for dealing with those outside this forum- you would hope that anything sold by our members to other members would be on the level. I have been fortunate - the last pins I either bought or swapped were with  members and both were 100% great.


Interesting!!!... i also enquired about the Drop a card and got VERY few pictures... 2 in fact.
Didnt realise it was a dealer.. was led to believe it was private.

Anyway - didnt matter, one person bid 3 times to get it and seller was a bit unfriendly in the emails... didnt bother in the end

Funnily enough it was relisted and sold at $750 despite being sold originally for $878. Apparently because the original bidder was too far away.
