    I thought it was you Post #7 was sort of obvious, but I didn't want to make any inferences

    Quote me! Why I oughtta...

    And in hindsight, to be fair, you did locally take exception with the price matching, so cheers for that!

    Of course, I disagree with the whole must-be-the-same-exact-item-and-in-stock assertion, so we'll probably just have to disagree there.

    And also, again with an American reference, but I come from the land of corporate greed, where these [specific] companies have always taken advantage of people, so I lack any empathy.

    bah, they are jealous! I didn't get any cheap voyagers (but I'll try for Inferno ) and I have no issues, grats to all that made off well!

    plus their boards are confusing, so many damn sub forums! I'm glad I stopped posting there.

    Hmmm... smily faces in the post.... does that mean i can stop looking over my shoulder as i walk down the street?

    "locally take exception".... um.... in english?

    like i said... "same item blah blah blah".... the other day i had a guy trying to compare quality and pricing of our stock with Ikea, where he was off to next seeming he was just arrived from sydney. In this instance, no cataloge, now "these are the same thing"... just asking "is this like the one at ikea?"

    the answer is N.O... NO... Nein...

    (footnote... it was just a cover anyway... he was the distraction for his theif partner... made off with $400 worth of stock at least)




    But it was a vent.... and I'm known there.... i post there.... i used to post here more than there, but the board moved and i lost you and i work too much to support 2 kids... i mean wives... i mean boards....

    if i posted here, then it's just some newbie guys 5th post he doesn't know what he's talking about.... reminds me in a comic shop a while ago.... someone harping on about something TF related, i was looking at something and the staff asked me to clarify.... the guy had no idea i owned the very figures he was saying didn't exist and had never been prototyped or whatever it was...

    If i was shitstiring.... I would have gone "Look at what Krayt at Ozformers said... what a loser... man i hate him he is an idiot"... instead i left everything blank, didn't say where it was, and just said how i was feeling at 11:20pm after lack of sleep for 4 days due to a medical problem....

    Not meaning to pick you but leaving blank and calling us mongrels isn't nice in the first and then double quoting me in that forum for my edits for calling you mongrels in return.

    well, since its all solved. i hope everything's cleared up.
    if you're unhappy with anything that we had done..just PM us....

    About that. I remember you from waaay back in the day. From memory, you were invited to (but had to skip) what was pretty much the first ever Melbourne meet (organised by myself & Gok), which was back in 2003.


    Eagerly waiting for Masterpiece Meister

    While we were still just Falafel, I complained that you should have locally raised the issue (aka taken exception). In hindsight, you did.

    And I totally understand why you posted there and not here.

    Also, I can only assume that your job affects your perception of this situation. What is your job? That would have been a welcomed disclaimer.

    Personally, as I've mentioned before, and will reinforce again, I have no empathy for Coles Myer or any of their corporate brethren. If they, or any of their kind, want bragging rights for the Lowest Price, Guaranteed, they can put their money where their mouth is... literally.

    Golden Phoenix: Beautifully put!
